It had been another long day. This one was a near close call compared to others. How they managed to sneak past the Tethe' alla lines was amazing, but then again they did have Kratos. He was more aware of what the Teth' Allans would do and how to counteract their movements. They had to crawl through the battlefield to make it towards Sybak. It was also raining at the time, and when they managed to make their way through the miles of battlefield. They were tired, dirty, and hungry. They were no closer to any town, nor anywhere near a stream or lake to clean themselves. That was fine by him. He was used to these conditions, as much as he'd love to actually clean himself there were times where it couldn't be helped.

In the midst of his own preparations to get a good meal cooked, his vision saw the form of Kratos sleeping against the newly transformed Noishe. Well, it seemed like the man was sleeping, but he just had an inkling idea that he wasn't. Looking back down at the items he had all set out, he began to wonder if anyone would actually be interested in eating. As hungry as most of them might be, they were most likely too tired to care. Looking back up, he blinked as a newly added body accompanied Kratos. Next to him was Mithos. Tuckered out and leaning against the man as he slumbered on.

Slowly he began to pack the items back up. Even if he DID cook, no one was going to eat it. Even HE couldn't muster up the need to stomach anything. He could still faintly taste dirt in his mouth and the blood of dead soldiers. Standing up to stretch, his eyes wandered back to the two to only gawk at what he saw. W-Was that Martel sleeping next to Kratos as well!? Slumping his shoulders, he sighed out at the three. It was to be expected. After all, the three had been traveling together long before Yuan had joined. So it was only natural that they might have the natural instinct to bundle up together. Yet, even after that explanation to himself he couldn't help but feel saddened.

Picking up a blanket from his pack, he dejected walked towards the trio and lightly laid the blanket on them. Walking around the large protozoan to find refugee as he sat himself down and crossed his own arms. Not bothering to sleep, as it was his turn to watch for anything at night.

He wasn't sure how long it was, but after a few hours of watching. He heard a rustle from behind him and a familiar green haired woman making her way towards him. His mouth opened to say something to her, but before he realized what had happened. He had found Martel sitting next to him with a sweet smile on her face and her eyes immediately fluttering shut as she leaned back on Noishe. His mouth gapped open as he attempted some words that would question what she was doing and to get her to return to were the blanket laid, but nothing would come out. So he did what any sensible man would do. He kept his mouth shut and just enjoyed the pure bliss of having Martel sleeping next to him.

With a small smile forming on his lips, his attention was caught once more as Martel's graceful form slipped towards him. Moving his arms out of the way, he found the woman on his lap. Asleep.
