They let go of each other.
"Look, it's getting dark. We have to find some sort of shelter or you'll get caught. They're probably going to start looking around tomorrow."
He looked around. It was pretty vacant. The pathway ahead led to an empty forest, so he figured they should probably head towards there.
"What about that forest?"
"I guess that could do for tonight. In the morning, we'll think of something else."
They started approaching the forest.
It was a pretty long walk before they thought they were pretty far away from the city. They started to see some farmland, so they decided to stop.
"Hope you like sleeping on grass."
She headed towards a flat area, and started to lay down.
"Over here. C'mon."
He followed her and laid down as well. It was surprisingly comfortable, and well hidden too.
He looked at his watch. It was roughly 11:00. Not too late, but they'd need sleep for tomorrow.
"Night, Arin."
"Night, Ryoko."
After a little bit, Ryoko went to sleep. Arin slowly arose from the ground and desperately looked for warmth. She found a dirty blanket down on the road, so she grabbed it and went back to Ryoko. She took the blanket and wrapped it around him. She decided he would need it more than she did.
She never slept that night. She watched for anybody searching for them. Nobody came for them that night, but she never stopped looking. She whispered to him while he was sleeping
"I'll keep you safe Ryoko. I promise."
