"And I have made the decision to join you," Kye put his free hand on his hip. His other still holding the torch.

Kida let out a soft sigh," Of course you did." He reluctantly pushed himself unsteadily off the wall of the cave that he'd started leaning against at some point, holding still when his vision darkened with the movement and his legs threatened to give out.

Kye studied him as he wobbled all over the place trying to stand. This kid could probably go for another mile, maybe, in his condition. "Yeah, you would die without me,"

Kida glared up at Kye at that." Mmhm,"he hummed darkly, "Sure." As if Kye had any idea of what Kida could do and for how long. He toyed with the idea of putting him on the ground as an example but ultimately decided to leave him be. Purely because he didn't think Kye could handle it. Not because it would be the last thing he did for a week. Absolutely not for that reason.

Kye noticed the glare and gave him a mom like stare. "Don't look at me like that, you are literally a zombie on their feet. You look like you just walked out of hell, after fighting Satan for three days straight. You could probably go for another mile, plus, I know my way around these parts, you clearly don't. And if I hadn't dragged you down here when I had you would be dead right now."

Putting Kye into the dirt was sounding incredibly tempting, exhaustion aside. He decided to conserve his energy and just keep going instead of gracing with a reply. If he hadn't been quite literally beaten out of any pride he might have had even the slightest chance of accumulating he probably would have been offended that Kye thought he saved him. However, he was long since trained out of such childish flaws and ignored Kye. Deciding it would be best to prove by example that he wouldn't keel over while walking.

Kye walked out of the cave with him then marched past Kida, over to the spot they had been when Kye first dragged them into the cave. It was littered with arrows, kuni, spears, and swords. "I assume you heard these coming at us from the trees above."

Though he debated lying, as Kye would much more likely believe that and it would bring less questions later, Kida decided to be honest. Whether Kye believed him or not." Yes."

Kye fell silent, this was a useless argument. This kid was to stubborn to reason with. "Let me at least take you through the caves where we won't leave a trail," he sighed after a moment.

The idea wasn't a bad one. But. Kye shouldn't have even been here and Kida was still trying to balance being polite and following his training which screamed that he needed to find some way to ditch his stubborn companion. He really wished Riley were here to talk him out of stupid decisions but she was part of the reason he was in this forest in the first place. Sometimes, he hated the ties he had developed with his friends, it was much easier when he was on his own and only had to worry about himself. Which only reminded him of his unwanted companion. He didn't know if letting himself be led into a cave was a good idea, he would be vulnerable and dependent on Kye. Both things his training told him never to be.
