Gale still slept, the dawn welcoming itself.
|

|
Kayla woke the next morning, grabbing her bow and arrows and leaving a note promising she'd be back soon. She also grabbed one of her daggers before going into the forest and just practicing targets
|

|
Gale awoke to the sound of branches breaking, looking around and seeing a agroup of three around him. "Can I help you?" He asks, still tired. "Yeah you can, actually.That one out there, she yours?" One of the men asked, Gale opening his eyes again to see a knife to his throat.The group was still quiet as Gale was faced with the desciosion, His life or Kayla's?

Kayla makes her way back to the tent silently, not recognizing the men and setting down her bow before pulling out her daggers
|
|  |
|
|

|
"Oh uhhhh.....that one?Oh yeah nah, she's not." He says, voice straining from wanting to kill the men. "Good, let's keep it that way." The man said, the group moving towards her.
|
|
|
|

|
"Asshole." Kayla muttered, easily taking down two of the men and then finally the third. She had a cut alond her arm, dripping blood, but she was pissed at Gale. "Really?!"

Kayla glared at him, furious as the bodies stayed beside her, bloody. "What the FUCK was that?!" "Uh, self defense.Look around, look at *me*.See?No weapons.Weapons include my bow, my daggers, and my fist.All of which were either pulled off me and tossed aside, away from my reach, or tied, which I undid the knot anyways.I'm not always going to be here for you, you need to get that in your head." He says solidly, standing and going to grab all his daggers. "Yeah yeah, I know.Been told that enough, and called it.Must say, my favorite nicknames right now are 'monster','satan spawn',and mistake, which I was called by my family, anyways, moving on." He finishes with a mutter, clearly done about the past part. Kayla rolled her eyes and grabbed her daggers, walking into the woods. Gale let her go, gathering up his things before trickling behind to shoot something. Kayla practiced throwing her knives at a makeshift target. Gale stayed silent as he stalked past her, quickly tracking and taking down a decent sized fox before bringing it back to camp. Kayla eventually headed back to the tent and fell asleep sitting on the tent’s floor. Gale skinned, gutted, and cut the fox before cooking it and eating it, tossing out the scraps.He walked inside the tent and saw Kayla asleep, smiling slightly as he tossed his shirt aside, the summer sun beating down. Kayla slept dreamlessly.
Gale walked out, going to go help cut down a few trees for camp expansion. | | | | Kayla woke a bit later, silently grabbing her daggers and climbing a tree. She sat there, legs dangling, as she twirled the dagger in her fingers thoughtfully.
Gale took an axe and chopped into the tree, taking a step back and letting it fall.He stood with his arm propped against the bottom of the axe, blade on the ground. | Kayla watched. He wiped the sweat from his brow, taking the blade again and hacking at the tree once more. Kayla got out of the tree a bit later, walking through the woods until she heard a twig snap. “Gale?” She asked, wondering if it was just him. Nothing. She didn’t like that, not one bit. | | | Gale kept chopping, the tree tumbling down.He walked up to Hugh and got his pay, tagging along with a group to head to the lake. "We're headed to the lake!" Valykrie called, echoing through the wood as they started for the destination. Kayla watched around herself carefully, half-hearing Valykrie’s announcement. Kayla was too caught up in listening around herself. "She's not coming," Gale said, the group chuckling before heading off.Once they got to the lake Gale stripped down to his boxers, diving into the water alongside the others. Kayla walked back to camp and twirled her knife in her hands, thinking about what the hell she was going to do with her boring ass life.
