You sit there and rest for a while, just letting the stress seep from your body and drawing your sense back. The sudden lack of information flowing through your head was relieving, it felt like you had splashed a cup of cold water onto your face. You let out a content sigh as you open your eyes. "We should probably move further away and set up camp, move on to the nearest town tomorrow." The three of you have been on your feet all day, you were feeling tired yourself and Una looked just about ready to fall asleep where she was.
Morgan looks around and her magic moves slightly before she nods to you. You quietly move over to Una and gently pick her up, resting her head in the crook of your neck. She curls up in your arms and falls asleep right then. You smile down at her softly, subtly threading your magic to make it easier to carry her. There is a noise to your left that makes you look over, only to see Morgan with a hand over her mouth, suppressing a squee. You still heard the very quiet
eeeee that she let out though.
She blushes in embarrassment and turns to walk at the head of the group, somehow still managing to avoid kicking anything in the darkness. She leads you onwards for some time, long enough that your arms start to ache from carrying Una. Eventually she stops in place and looks around before nodding to herself. You can't see anything about the clearing yourself, but you let her lift the tent off of the clip on your backpack and start setting it up. You would help, but your sister is still trapping your arms and you can't see anything beyond a foot or so.
When she's done she comes over and helps guide you into the mouth of the tent, where you gently lay down on your back. Your bag digs into your back horribly, so you shift your arms out of it and use it as a hard pillow. You slide Una's bag off of her back, and she turns to the side, head tucked under your chin and curled into a ball atop you. You smile at her and raise your temperature slightly, ignoring Morgan's hopeless attempt to keep silent as she stands by the entrance. Eventually she calms down and zips it closed and you can hear her quickly scale a tree to your left. You quickly flare your sense to it maximum but don't feel anything, with that, you allow yourself to fall asleep.
You are only woken once in the night, a passing animal of some sort, a large dog or a small wolf but it only stops nearby for a short while before moving on. Eventually you wake with the sun, your sense alerting you to the sudden rise in temperature around you.
Despite your strange sleeping position, you feel well rested and comfortable. So does your sister apparently, as she wakes with only the slightest of nudges before she's awake, though she only burrows deeper into you. As cute as it is, you really need to get up, so you gently shift her until she reluctantly slides off of you and makes her way to her feet. You make your way out of the tent and wake Morgan, no falling today and focus on finding food for today. It takes twenty minute for something to pass within your range and it's fairly small, still, enough for breakfast at the least. You quickly overheat it and bring it back, the skinning going much faster this time and you are on your way with cooked food in your belly within ten minutes.
You carefully incinerate the leftovers, no need to leave a trail, and start walking.
An hour later, you sense a road at the edge of your range, you ask Morgan and the best she can tell you is that there
should be a rest stop at in a couple of hours. She's not certain because she only glanced over Canada's maps when she planned this trip. Still, you aren't a wanted person here, so you see no reason to stay away. You stay off to the side, out of view of the road, but you follow it north until the sun is starting to reach the top of it's arc. You stop for a little while and search for food, this time you find a lone deer, it falls quickly but the skinning takes at least an hour. You cook everything you can and wrap the spare meat in the fur before putting it in your bag, waste not want not.
Food for at least two days acquired, you start back on your trek north and eventually make it to your destination. The owners of the little stop are warm and welcoming, you tell them that the three of you are staying at the nearby lake resort and decided to wander over this way. You don't know if they believe you or not, but they don't question it and insist on serving you food, or at least a drink. You think about turning them down, but Una's sudden iron grip on your arm informs you of her want.
You decide to order a bacon sandwich for yourself and Una, slathered with as much ketchup will fit, and Morgan decides to have boiled eggs. For drinks, all of you decide on tea, amusingly. Though Una tries to drink hers black, you smile and indulge her until she submits and lets you put some milk in it. Ten minutes later and a full stomach, you are feeling much more civilised. The seats are comfortable and the owners are chatting aimlessly about anything under the sun, this really does feel like a little slice of heaven compared to your last two weeks.
After resting for a while, Morgan asks the owners if they have a phone she can borrow. She says that she has a sister in England that she promised to call every day, but she doesn't have a phone on her right now. She hands the two of them ten dollars, enough to cover the call and they let her use it, directing her around the back.
Ten minutes later, Morgan returns smiling slightly and shaking her head.
"Is something wrong?" That would be just your luck.
Her smile widens. "No, Karen is just up to her usual antics. They can send the plane over at any time, they know where we are. It will take about six hours to make the trip and they'll need to have someone drive over here to refuel it. Thankfully we have someone a day away who can get here whenever." You turn your eyes to look at the counter, where the couple who own the place are chatting as they clean the dishes, clearly within hearing distance. "Oh, don't worry about them, they understand that we are just some rich kids that went a bit far on an adventure and mother is sending someone to take us home."
You really doubt that anyone would buy such a story, but Morgan just smiles. "People who work in out of the way places like this see a lot of strange things come and go, our sort prefer to stop and meet out of town." She sits back down. "Regardless, we can call Karen at any time, but it would be better to have them come over in the early morning, landing in the dark is an absolute nightmare and the sun will have set by the time they get here." She stretches and leans back in her seat. "Just relax for the rest of the day and we'll be on our way tomorrow."
