Aela smiled to Emily's humble answer. "It was thanks to your quick thinking we all survived last night." Aela turned to Eric and held both his hands this time "I really appreciate what you did, but I don't think you should sacrifice your life for mine. You've protected me twice and I know I might not look it, but I can protect you too. I promise you both will see my gifts and I promise to get stronger to protect you chosen ones." Aela teased.

"Now eat up before we continue our long journey."

Aela glanced over to Eric “It’s about last night. That was very brave and very sweet of you. But extremely reckless. You scared me and Emily, for a bit...I thought I lost you...and it would have been my fault. If Emily didn’t go off and bring back our serpent friend...I don’t think my powers would have been enough to save you. Thank you Em.”

Aela held Eric’s hand as emotions swirled within her. Twice Eric had saved her on this journey. She wanted to protect him too. Normally, she’d be a bit more harsh due to her emotions. But, with almost losing Eric last night..she couldn’t bear for him to leave her side. Her hand gripped Eric’s slightly.

Once they gained enough distance, Aela made a jam to go on toasted pieces of bread. However her mind wandered a bit.

Aela looked concerned for Emily, but dropped it when she looked away. “let’s keep walking and gain some distance between us and the spiders. Then I can make you both breakfast. Then we can discuss how we should proceed. Is that okay with both of you?”

Aela appreciated Eric’s help and shouldered her pack. She held Eric’s hand as she lead him out of the cave. She wanted to talk to him tell him how she felt last night.she didn’t want to let his hand go.

Aela glanced from Emily to the Serpent. “Em? You okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost that or you’re sick.”

Aela glanced past Eric into the cave. "Food might draw the spiders out. And they might come for us. That is why we should gain some distance between us and them. Unless you'd like a repeat from last night."
The serpent nodded as Aela and Eric emerged glancing back to Emily. "Take care of one another. Dark times are ahead, Emily." The serpent slithered off into the swamp looking like it was going to hunt for it's food.

Aela listened to his responses and smiled at him being a bit shy and flushed when he gave her a kiss in return. Aela heard Emily for a moment but wasn't quite sure what she said.

The serpent turned to her "Not safe here." It's words were clear as day almost echoing in Emily's mind as it turned and waited for Aela and Eric to move out of the cave.

Aela led Eric out after gathering her stuff, "We should probably have breakfast a bit later."

Aela held Eric's hand in return the flame flickered and went out. Her palm was warm due to previously holding a flame. "I'm fine Eric, I actually need to thank you for last night. You were my hero." Aela kissed the back of his hand and smiled.

As Emily gently spoke aloud the snake turned it's head toward Emily and seemed to blink almost answering as a "yes." It retreated out of the cave and glanced around.

Aela smiled and shook her head as Emily quickly approached. Aela explained that her Spider wound was healed and the poision had worn off. However, her mana that would overflow her limits was not as painful as it usually was. Aela explained that the metal flakes on her hands probably came from her sleeping next to the snake. But she was unsure as to how her wound healed so quickly and her mana was more manageable than it used to be.

Aela slightly flushed as Eric approached as she was talking and continued to speak about her stuff.

It took a few moments before Aela awoke as the sun began to rise. The pain she was used to feeling from mana was...quiet?! She sat up quickly and summoned a white flame it floated there, she noticed it was larger than it normally was. And the pain wasn’t as intense as it usually was. She thought for a few moments the poision was out of her system..right? She reached behind her neck and felt the wound had healed. When glancing at her hand again she saw metal flakes. The snake..? She glanced over at it as it’s calm eyes blinked.
