"Tell a guard...," the Forsaken scoffed as he followed Ellie around. They had come up with a quick plan which involved dividing Eversong Woods up into four sections and each day they would scope out one section before camping for the night and doing the next one. Hopefully they would find the camp and be finished in four days. However, there could possibly be a camp set up just outside the borders but they would get to that later. Ellie in the meantime was stocking up on supplies- food, a flask for water, and maps of the nearby areas. The Forsaken said he had their sleeping arrangement taken care of so she held him to it. Not that she minded- she didn't have a lot of gold on her at the moment.

Once she was sure she had everything, she followed the Forsaken to their "sleeping arrangement". As they left the brightly lit Silvermoon City, Ellie squinted as she attempted to adjust her eyes to the sudden darkness of Eversong Woods. They would be sleeping tonight and getting an early start tomorrow it looked like. They walked a ways away from Silvermoon City and as they walked she began to see a small tent by a couple of trees.

"You're not serious," Ellie said aloud.

"What?"

"That tent? For both of us?"

"Don't worry, you'll fit," he chuckled.

Ellie's cheeks reddened as she hit his shoulder.

She watched as he opened the flap and went inside. Inside was a large bedroll and a lantern.

"Nice decor," she muttered.

"Thank you," the Forsaken replied.

"And what's this? One bedroll?"

"You can sleep outside it if you want."

"How about YOU sleep outside of it, since you technically don't even sleep," she shot back.

"The sleep cycle is my thinking time. I still like to lay down and think quietly."

"And you can do that outside of the bedroll."

"How about you stop overreacting and just share the bedroll. What are you worried about?"

Ellie sighed before squatting down and climbing into the tent. She set her supply bag in the top corner. She wasn't worried about anything per se...however didn't he think it was strange for them to share the same bedroll? Especially when they hardly knew each other? It was awkward.

She watched as he threw back the top part of the bedroll. "Ladies first," he gestured to where he had chosen her spot to be.

"Such a gentleman," Ellie mocked as she crawled to the spot and slid beneath the top cover of the bedroll. She watched as the Forsaken closed the tent flap and put out his lantern. He took a moment to remove his boots, placing them in the corner as well as his weapons and pouch from around his waist which he placed above the , he too, slid beneath the top cover of the bedroll and stared at the top of the tent. Ellie alternated between watching him out of the corner of her eye and also looking upwards at the tent. Ellie's heart pounded as she realized how close they were. She could feel the cool skin of his feet brush up against her ankle where her robe had ridden up. His upper arms touched hers and she felt the joint of his elbow- cool to the touch as well and with a hybrid texture that was mostly smooth with some slight bumps in places.

"So...," Ellie began. She took a quick glance at the Forsaken man and saw that his eyes were still looking above him. Their yellow hue shone dimly in the darkness providing her with a slight comfort, odd as it was. "Since we're working together, you should tell me your name."

She waited for a few minutes and when he didn't answer, she figured he was just going to ignore her. 'Whatever' she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and decided she would just try to sleep. They only had to work together for a few days, it's not like they had to get to know each other more. She just figured she'd try to be nice.

"Seth," he finally replied.

She opened her eyes and looked over at him, surprised that he answered. "Well, nice to meet you under these strange circumstances, Seth. I'm Ellie." She paused a moment as she thought quietly to herself. "Seth, hm? Was that your name in your past life?"

She felt him shift underneath the bedroll. Did that question make him uncomfortable? Ellie knew very little about the Forsaken. She was unsure how big of an influence a Forsaken's past life had on their current one- did they have memories? And if they did, did the past effect how they went about their future?

"Yes. It was my human name."

"Do you remember anything else? About your past life I mean," Ellie prodded growing increasingly curious.

"No," he answered after a slight pause.

Ellie could sense that things had become rather awkward so she decided to drop it. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked something so personal..."

When he didn't respond, she felt her stomach drop as a small wave of guilt hit her. She had been insensitive- Forsaken or not, he was still a living being. When he didn't respond after several minutes, she closed her eyes and attempted to sleep once again.
