"Finding out why I'm here would be nice," Kye allowed her to help him up. "Why are you here?"

Hunter looked away. "Err… that's not important right now." She jerked her head towards the dark woods. "This way. And step exactly where I step. There are sinkholes, poisonous gas and creatures that will jump out at you if you're not careful."

"I'm good at staying careful," Kye said following Hunter, and being careful to step where she stepped.

Hunter led him through the forest and to a large tree. She pointed to a ladder against it. "Climb. I have to wipe away our tracks."

"Okay," Kye wasn't sure if he actually trusted Hunter, but he wasn't about to get into a fight. If he could stay on her good side he was okay with that. He started climbing the ladder.

Hunter wiped the tracks away and hurried back to the tree house. She didn't trust this Kye figure, and thought it was best not to let him go unsupervised.

Kye stood off to the side of the room. He was still holding his torch, but he also had his other hand resting on his dagger.

Hunter emerged, saw that he hadn't touched the chest, and sighed with relief. She climbed the rest of the way in and shut the trapdoor.

"So do you have any idea why I'm here?" Kye asked. "I have other things to do. The sooner I get out of here the better."

Hunter shook her head. "No idea." She led him up a staircase and into a small bedroom. It was a descent size, and had a bed next to a window that had a great view of the forest, and a chest. "Here's where you'll sleep. We can talk in the morning."

Kye walked into the room. He looked around then looked back at Hunter. "Is there anything you don't want me touching?" He asked.

Hunter shook her head. "Not in this room. But there is a small trunk that I don't want anyone to touch. Ever." She shook her head, her hood moving with it. "If you need anything, I'll be up on the roof."

Kye nodded and watched her go. As soon as she was out of sight, he clenched his fist and threw a haymaker at the air. He never had the chance to do anything. Everytime things began settling down something would happen and he'd get thrown right back into the chaos.

Hunter clambered out a window and onto the roof, climbing the branches to the highest one, where she could see beyond the horizon. She stared sadly at a large mountain range, shaped like a sleeping dragon.

(Whatever works for you.)

Kye sat down on the bed and placed his elbows on his knees, and stared at the ground. He sighed deeply, with his head down, and his white hair falling into his face. "Here we go again."

Hunter watched the moon. As she did, she thought about home. She could get back to her home, easily, but she couldn't leave Kye here. She had been called here for a reason, and she had to help him, apparently.

Kye walked around his room, for a bit, laid down trying to get some sleep, read his book "The Wild Warriors," and gave up. He opened the window in the room, and climbed out. Climbing to the roof with ease, and finding Hunter looking away from him at the distant mountains. Not wanting to startle her, he quietly cleared his throat to notify her of his presence.

Hunter glanced over at him. "Hey," she said.

"Hi," he walked over quietly and sat down, a good two feet from her as to not make her feel uncomfortable. He looked up at the sky. "I've never seen these constellations before," he commented quietly.

Hunter sent him a humorless smile. "Well, you've never been to this place, have you?"
