"Muon?" Cyrwys asked. "Thanks for bringing her back..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"It was only reasonable that I do," Muon said, shrugging.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Still, thank you," Cyrwys said. She smiled a little to him.

((Nyahahaha!! I have a(n evil) idea for forums!))  

[Cecily D Aria]

Muon nodded. Even though he didn't smile, he wasn't cold.

Cyrwys fell silent. After a little while, she laid down and seemed to be falling asleep again.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Muon glanced over and saw she was alright. Then he went back to watching.

After a little while, Sanvi came back over to Garin. "Are we going to go soon?" she asked. "It's getting dark, so it should be safe soon..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"If you're feeling up to it," Garin said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"I don't know, maybe we should wait a little while longer," Sanvi said. "I fear he may have laid a trap for us."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Alright, we can wait a little longer," Garin said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"We should stay the night here and go in the morning, when we can see any traps he may have set," Sanvi said. "I'm going to sleep."  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin nodded. "Very well," he said.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi settled down and fell asleep.

As it happened, the man hadn't fully given up. He had gone looking for them and had been unable to find them, but as he was going back, he found the cave. He slowly went closer, daggers ready.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Please go back to Master Garin," Muon said to Cyrwys, standing up.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Hm?" Cyrwys asked, sitting up a little. "Muon, what is it?"
The man was watching the cave from the other side of the small river right outside it. He could see the movement but couldn't make anyone out.
