But Soren couldn't sleep. While his body wanted it in order to regenerate his lost energy, his mind just wouldn't calm down enough to allow him the luxury of rest. Besides, now that his horns, wings and tail were permanent, sleeping was going to be a lot more uncomfortable that it used to be. If only he could just sleep upside down, then he wouldn't have to worry about hurting his new features any more than they already ached. "If you're staying awake, I would at least like to keep you company so you don't fall into the dark pit of your own imagination."

Arthur nodded, "I would tell you otherwise, but I'm not gonna lie on that one." he said softly, "But if you can, you really should get some rest." he sighed, getting up to pace around the alleyway quietly, before sitting back down next to Soren and summoning his aura. Carfully he cast an enchantment, summoning th magical version of a holographic map.

"So which way do we have to go in order to reach the border?" Soren asked, narrowing his eyes on the map. It was no good, he couldn't make out anything on it. He was used to reading things on paper, so his eyes weren't likely to adjust to anything else. "Or I'll rephrase that, are we going to have to take the long way around because they are expecting us to go the quicker way?"

Arthur hummed softly, tapping one area on the map, which turned red. "The red area is the country we're currently in, if we make it outside the borders we're safe." he tapped an area out near the edge of the map, "If we make it out here we'll find other magic users, and a little further and we'll reach Coris city…" he hummed softly, tracing a pathway from the city they were in, to the edge of the map, "I think if we follow this path, we should make it out safely…"

"I've heard of Coris City, it's supposed to be quite the prosperous place." Soren nodded his head slowly, thinking. "Though times might have changed since then." he leaned his head against Arthur's shoulder, listening to him hum. "We won't be travelling today, I can tell you that much. By now they will have every force available hunting us down, it wouldn't be wise to move for a while."

Arthur nodded, "True, but even if Coris isn't a stable place anymore, it's still better than here, I know for a fact that their rulers are magic users, so they'll be magic friendly." he hummed softly, "If we really had to we could possibly pose as a bonded Rider pair too to get by until we find someplace safe…" he sighed, "Though for now we just need to focus on staying alive."

"Staying alive." Soren repeated softly as his eyes started to close. They burned too much to keep open for much longer. "It will be easier than you think you know. I mean if we have stayed alive this long, then the rest of it will seem too easy." Of course that was just something he kept telling himself, even if it wasn't true. He needed to have hope, especially at a time like this.

Arthur nodded, "We can make it, we just have to keep trying." he smiled softly when he realized the other was falling asleep. "We have to make it… we've been through too much to not…" he whispered mostly to himself as he dissolved the map, eager to return to the wilder outlands.

(But yes, a timeskip would be nice, though I might not be able to respond straight away)
