We landed with a slight thump just as the sun reached the hills. "Finally! We've been waiting forever!" Eragon said, getting up from under a tree. Saphira padded silently after him. Told you they would be waiting. Shruikan said smugly. Oh shut up. Normally I would have smacked him but he has sharp scales and can breathe fire. So I decided otherwise. "And if we're going to be traveling together, then I think it would be best if we got to you know, know each other." Clearly he was practicing saying that while he waited. He spoke too fast. "Okay. I know who you are, who Saphira is, who Shruikan is and who I am. Assuming you know who we all are, we're done." I blinked. Eragon blinked. Twice. Saphira and Shruikan were having a staring contest I think. Couldn't tell who was winning. "Er, actually, I don't know anything about you except that you work for Galbatorix. Or used to." He glanced nervously at my dragon. Probably afraid he would flame him. Smart boy. "Fine. My name is Aurora. I am 16. Happy?" I blinked again. Eragon blinked once. The dragons were still staring. "Do they do that a lot?" He asked. "I dunno. I only know of two dragons. Maybe. Anyway, are you still tracking the Ra'zoc?" He shook his head. Now he was looking at me in a way that I didn't like. Was it, flirty? Like, EEWWWW!!! "Eragon!" Everyone blinked. "Where are we setting up camp tonight? Here?" I asked. "Oh, um, yeah I guess." He stuttered. Saphira shook her head. She looked at me. I looked at her. We both shook our heads. We looked at the males. Eragon looked confused and Shruikan looked lost. We looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Shruikan and Saphira make the fire. In other words, the stacked a tower of wood and had a contest of who could make the fire the biggest. I think Shruikan won. Eragon went hunting while I just brought out food. We ate and by the time Eragon got back we were all content and had full bellys. I told him we already ate while I unsaddled Shruikan. "Bu- bu- but HOW?" It was very pathetic. The dragons looked at me. "I brought food." I shrugged. That annoyed him. If you think I had anger issues then you've never met Eragon. I swear, there was steam coming out of his ears. He stormed away. Hopefully to blow off steam. We all settled down to go to sleep.
