Te'ijel only gave a wicked laugh and jogged past Galahad to walk next to Mel. "You are truly missing out crumpet." She teased, enjoying how his eyebrows scrunched up in anger and exasperation. "I will NEVER partake in such practice of hunting humans, you evil demon spawn!" Galahad said vehemently. "While they check in for the night shall we go hunting?" She asked quietly, her eyes glittering with mirth at the thought of his reaction. Mel dropped back with Edward and Stella and the three of them talked about being greatly relieved to have finally reached somewhere with real beds while Te'ijel caught up with her husband ahead of her.

The group gave various sounds of relief and Te'ijel shook her head with mild amusement. The last signpost we passed a couple miles back said it's a small city called Travonet." She announced to the rest of the group, her enhanced sight picking up on the reflection of lights from further up ahead in the sky. It would do no good for them to catch their deaths out here. Snow was falling softly through the air as they pushed through and Te'ijel noticed just how badly Mel, Stella and Edward were shivering, and how the bottoms of their clothes were soaking through because of the snow.

Up ahead Edward and Stella were talking softly while Mel led the group through the woods, and a slight flicker of concern washed through Te'ijel as Mel stumbled sideways before righting herself. Te'ijel walked at the back of the pack, her feline-like eyes sweeping over the woods on either side of the path as she watched for any threats.
