*Zara was silent for a moment, before responding.* "Yes. I am a stonemason and fur trader," *She explained. It wasn't a total lie; Zara was also a bounty hunter and monster hunter.* "While I travel, I create things out of stone, like these cups and the kettle, and other objects."
*Decorations, cookware, and other things. That was just some of the stuff Zara can create from stone. Even weapons, or ammunition for them, like spears or arrows.*
"Would you like anything crafted of stone, perhaps?" *Zara questioned.* "I could make most anything; survival equipment, stoneware, cookware... Some weapons as well, if you need them."

*Nero watched each movement she made as she worked on the stone. Not because he was trying to memorize and copy them, he had no use personally for that. Instead he watched incase she tried anything, doing that double time as she mentioned weapons.

Seeing as she didn't try anything though, he simply shook his head in response. He was inrigued, understandably, but he had little use for what she offered. He needed what money he had, but also he figured that he didn't want to carry too much more weight.*

"No thanks. I've got everything I need. It isn't much, but I get by. Plus, I don't really have any need for weapons." *He said with a shrug. That was a lie of course. He had two daggers hidden on his person, and one in his pack. Not to mention the bow. But that he could pass off as a hunting weapon.* "It's interesting that you make such things from stone, though."
Sally
"Very well," *She said as he explained that he didn't want anything she could create.
By now, the stone item Zara had been crafting was coming together; it was a decorated and engraved sphere, likely for display on a fountain or suitable stand. A few more decorations or engravings, depending on its true purpose, and it would be ready to sell at a reasonable price.
For now she would set it down, taking a break for a moment, and places some more wood on the fire.
She didn't have any comment about his last sentence ~~but that's because I can't come up with what I want her to say so I gave up after an hour~~, but did acknowledge his comment.*
Roger
*Nero nodded silently, shuffling around a bit where he sat as the rudamentary camp site fell into silence. He was fairly sure now that she didn't have any hostile intentions. Not because she seemed peaceful, more that she seemed a bit... Mundane, that was the only word that came to mind. She was simply a trader, so hopefully he wouldn't have anything to worry about.

And with that in mind, he figured he'd probably ask if he could stick around till morning. A fire was a fire after all. Even if he wasn't a fan of its proximity to the road.*

"You mind if I stick around till morning?" *He asked after about a minute of silence.* "I figure there's no point starting another fire somewhere else."
Sally
"Not at all," *Zara said, agreeing to let him stay.* "You may use my sleeping gear if you do not have any of your own."
*Zara was accommodating to other travellers, to the point of offering her gear for them to use if she needed it. Hers consisted of a small tent with a fur floor bed and thick blanket, which was likely hand crafted or custom-made. It looked comfortable.
Zara would stay beside the fire all night if there was no other option. She didn't mind either way.*
Roger
*Nero nodded in thanks as she let him stay, but quickly changed to shake his head as she made the offer. While the prospect of at least some kind of comfort when sleeping was tempting, he didn't want to further infringe upon her hospitality. There was also the fact that he would prefer not to sleep in what was effectively someone elses bed. It always made him feel uneasy, and unsafe. The hard ground however would insure that he slept lightly.*

"Thank you, but I don't want to abuse your hospitality more than I already have. The ground is good enough for me."
Sally
*Zara would nod in acknowledgement.* "I understand. Thank you for staying, though... It is nice to have others with me when out travelling or resting at camp."
*Out in the wilds... Generally Zara is on her own. Nobody to know where or how she went missing, nobody to help if she is attacked, no way out. Of course it is a given considering her primary occupation as a mercenary. Zara normally flies solo, but isn't so much of a lone wolf to refuse help from others if offered.
It is always good to have other people.*
Roger
"I understand." *Nero said with a nod. And really, he did. In his personal experience though, he hadn't exactly met many trustworthy people on the roads. Then again, half the time he was one of those untrustworthy people, quite ironic.*

"Since there is two of us, do you think we should take watches? We're pretty close to the road, and we have a fire, so I don't think animals will bother us. But I'm not so sure for people. Just a thought." *He said with a shrug, it was logical to his thinking. Then again, the idea of him sleeping while she was awake was a bit unnerving, even in suggestion.*
Sally
*The idea of keeping watch sounded like a fine one, in case anything comes up that may endanger the two. Yet, Zara was opting to meditate tonight, as such remaining partially aware and capable of acting on what potential threats come up within range of her Sixth Sense.
However, Zara would choose to do what he suggested, as she believed his asking to do so was out of concern.*
"Certainly," *She would say.* "I will take the first shift."
Roger
*Nero nodded gratefully, packing up what little he had left out before moving his pack to the side. He would have used it as a pillow, but considering some of the things that were inside it, he thought it best not to.* "Wake me up in five hours and I'll take the next one." *He said with a slight yawn, moving around a few logs to prop himself up slightly as he readied to sleep.*
Sally
"Indeed. Sleep well, my friend," *Zara said.
Now, she would spend her time meditating. In a half-sleeping state, Zara would be partially resting, while at the same time being aware of her surroundings, as opposed to how she would be if she were fully asleep. Sixth Sense doesn't work in full sleep, though sometimes she could swear it gets stronger when she meditates, which both works in her favour and against her at the same time.
Nevertheless, Zara would remain as close to awake as possible while meditating. The woman has decent control of her sleep cycle, but sometimes she ends up falling asleep while meditating anyway. The tea helps with that, normally. The specific drink she had was a slightly energising brew which would make it easier... For now.*

Let's time skip. I'm boutta go to bed)$
Roger
*After having drifted off to sleep, and remaining that way for five or so hours, Nero eventually awoke, yawning slightly as he quickly sat up and looked around. It didn't look like anything had gone wrong, so he stood up and came over to Zara, stretching a bit as he did, before giving a nod to her.* "You should get some sleep. I'll take watch."
Sally
*Zara had been in a meditative state for said 5 hours, and 'woke up', for lack of a better word, when Nero started waking up.*
"Very well," *She answered. She'd then make her way over to her tent and bed, and climb in.
Before actually sleeping though, she'd tell Nero about the tea;* "If you are still tired, you may have some of the tea. It is an energising brew."
Roger
*Nero nodded in understanding, but as he sat down he didn't take any. He'd stay on the cautious side for now. The annoying thing for him was that the fire actually made his vision worse, as he found it hard to see anything in the darkness when his eyes were used to the light. But he didn't want to leave to sit outside of it either, that would be suspicious. So instead he just kept watch where he was, strumming his lute every now and again as he waited, and watched patiently.*
