Matthew nodded a bit, pulling Rowan closer.
"We'll have to keep a really close eye on her," he said softly. "You did good today, Rowan. You kept her safe."

"Thanks, Matthew…" Rowan huddled a little closer to Matthew with a shaky sigh. "I'm glad I was able to get to her before that cat did…"

"I am too…" Matthew shuddered a bit. He rested his head on Rowan's, wings going around them both.

Rowan closed his eyes and held the nest a little closer to himself. "Mm… how long do you think we'll be riding for?"

"It should be just a couple more days, then after that we'll be in the city. We'll have to walk while there, though." Matthew hummed faintly, lightly placing his head on Rowan's.

"Mmkay… when are we gonna stop for the night?" Rowan asked softly, yawning a bit as he huddled close to Matthew.

"We can keep going a bit, seeing as sunset isn't for another hour, or we could find a place soon to settle in for the night." Matthew rubbed Rowan's arm a bit, humming softly.
"We should probably change tonight, too. I'll watch the chicks while you do."

"Mmkay…" Rowan yawned again with a soft hum. "Sounds good to me. We can keep going for a bit…"

"You sure? I wouldn't want you falling asleep like this…" Matthew chuckled softly.

"I'll be fine… just shake me a bit if I doze off. We can stop whenever you want to."

"Alright then," Matthew said softly. He pulled the horses over soon, lifting Rowan up in his arms.

Rowan rested his head on Matthew's shoulder when he was picked up, struggling to keep his eyes open at this point.

Matthew held Rowan close, smiling softly.
"You you think you have enough energy to change?" he asked gently.

"Mm… probably. I can try, anyway… where are my clothes?" Rowan asked sleepily.

"Here, they're in the bag," Matthew said. He sat Rowan down, smiling a bit and offering him the robes.

"Mmkay… here, hold onto the nest." Rowan traded the nest for the clothes and headed over to change where Matthew couldn't see him.

Matthew sat down, holding the nest in his hands. He smiled gently when he saw the chicks were still asleep. He hummed, waiting paciently.

Rowan soon returned, yawning again as he huddled up in Matthew's arms. "M'tired…" he mumbled.

"Shall we just go to bed, then?" Matthew said gently. He wrapped his arms around Rowan, humming softly with a small yawn. He held the nest in his hands, resting it in Rowan's lap.

"Mhmm… did you get the fire going?" Rowan asked. "It's kinda chilly…" He trembled a little in Matthew's embrace.

"No, not yet. I'll get it going." Matthew held Rowan close when he trembled, tucking him away securely in one arm as he set about gathering the materials for the fire from the area around them.

Rowan held the nest close to himself as he watched Matthew set the fire up. "It… it doesn't take too long to make a fire, right?"

"No, it doesn't," Matthew assured. He set the kindling up, sitting down with Rowan in his lap so he could strike the flint and steel.

"Mmkay…" Rowan huddled up in Matthew's lap with a shaky sigh and allowed himself to relax, although he was still shivering.

Matthew worked on the fire, finally getting it large enough that he could sit back and relax. He wrapped his arms around Rowan again.
"How are you doing?"
