```A Short Amount of Time Later```
Al
*It has been about a week or a little more since leaving Kal. Theron was a bit displeased with the whole matter of his father... But at least they weren't hindered too badly. The recent quest gave them some more experience, as well as some general respect of the people in the area. With that respect, Ein and him were able to find a place to stay about a day away from the yeti's lair.*

*The small community are still cold to them, but that was to be expected he guessed. They were outsiders for the time being, and it would take time to get their trust. For now, he would just have to focus on getting a residence set up and living here for a long time. For how long was a mystery, but it wasn't all that bad.*

"So, how are you taking to this area? The blizzard makes it colder than it's supposed to be, but the people here are generous enough to not bother us while we set up. How long we can stay they haven't deliberated on, but the chief said we are welcome for the time being."
Arthur
"It's not exactly that cold, but I suppose it could be better. At least fires feel more comfortable! I kinda like it. Might deter people from coming here, especially in the winter!" 

*She said, sitting on... Something that she could sit on. It's been a while since she could take a break. She felt like she wanted to settle down. She was getting tired of being attacked so often. That and attacking... Maybe she should be less aggressive!*
Al
"Mhm. For now we should be able to avoid any of the men and women chasing us... So it depends on how long we will stay, and are allowed to stay."

*Theron lightly sighed to himself, sitting on the stool. For now they had been given a empty house that was rather empty. A family had recently moved out for whatever reason, so whatever they had left behind was for them for the moment.*

"We should get a fire going in the fireplace, then work on what else we could do. We have a lot of time to pass... So it's just delegating who does what."
Arthur
"Who starts the fire? I don't know... But I definitely could do it if you didn't want to of course."

*She said, fiddling with the pendant on her sword... Fiddle fiddle! Very pretty. A copper and zinc damascus pendant*
Al
*Theron rolled his eyes, then got up to start the fire... Unpacking the little bow and spindle he had taken with him.*

"You like to fiddle around with your necklace, I've noticed. Any particular reasoning? I have something from my family that I like to keep safe as well but you seem to have it openly shown. Is it another strange tradition of yours?"

*He was slowly gathering some kindling from beside the fireplace, taking time to fish up drier pieces so he could get the fire started faster.
Arthur
"Nope! Just a prayer thing. Gotta pray for good luck when I can. Who knows? All that pent up good luck could lead to something!" 

*She said, fishing out some... Crunchy and stale hard tack! Cronch cronch cronch*
Al
"Good luck is always something to have, I guess. Can't plan for everything... And is that wound from the yeti hunt fine? It's been about a day but that other adventurer didn't seem the most trust-worthy."

*Theron would then begin to gently blow on the embers his bow and spindle created... Sprinkling more kindle on it to help the flame spread across the fireplace*
Arthur
"Well, it's not that bad compared to other head injuries I sustained. Plus, it's just a rock to the head. Nothing too dangerous."

*She said, fiddling with the pendant and... Well, watching Theron start the fire. She didn't want to say it, but she really felt tired. She didn't know why she felt extremely tired. Maybe it's because she now knows she is actively... Well, running away from things* 

"Do you think I have a chance to settle down somewhere permanently? Maybe even a mountain."
Al
*Theron fiddled with the fire some more till it begun to slowly grew onto the logs... Then returned to sitting next to Ein. He was glancing to the floor, thinking it over for about ten seconds till answering.*

"I would like to say yes... But at this time, it's a mystery if we could settle down permanently. It all depends on if you're willing to take the risk of standing your ground. I believe we've gone as far as we should, but there's no telling how petty a criminal organization could be, in response to the information you gave out."

*Theron gently rubbed her hand, in a small attempt at trying to calm her worries. Ein has been worrying about this situation, but he doesn't know how long. Initially she showed a lot of guilt with getting him and syele dragged into it... But that could be just buried and eating at her right now.*

"For now, let's focus on settling down here for a few days. As I said, we've gotten very far from the capital. I doubt they'd expect us to be out here in the mountains, or even know our general area. So how about we not worry about that, and worry about setting up a proper spot on the floor to sleep?"
Arthur
"Well, yeah I suppose. I'll take the corner near the fire. But maybe it'd be better to just sit in a mountain honestly. How are you invading a mountain? Not possible... Already difficult enough to traverse" 

*Yes it was eating away at her. She didn't like having to drag people into her affiars. It's very icky and stuff. But, of course, she'd have to endure what she started. Mountains are hard to move in, but very friendly!*
Al
"It would be more defendable, but harder to live in. We should stay here near the bottom, in this community. They aren't very welcoming, I know, but we can grow to know them over time... Or until we can find a proper place higher up that has the resources we need."

*He leaned against her, head on shoulder, as he spoke. It's not like they should just sit in a cave all day and forego life. It's understandable that they didn't have some luxury others had, with being headhunted by criminals, but they would just have to build means to defend themselves... Not continually worry about the situation and ruin what time they have left.*
Arthur
"I suppose I can agree with that, but of course, somehow we'd need to be forgotten. Doubt they'd forget who and what I looked like. Quite difficult to do that honestly..."

*She said, looking away for a bit. She felt pretty damn guilty about everything. She even started to doubt if she was a good person! She is honestly not the best if it were me.*
Al
"It's not as if they had painted you... And although you're beautiful to me, there are many women who have similar features. In a year we'll be completely debt free, but it would still be best to avoid the capital itself."

*Theron looked up at her lovely violet eyes, with his head on her shoulder. It was a shame that she was worrying too much about this. Of course he fears weren't unfounded... There was no telling what kind of magics or ways the people hunting them had to find them. It was even possible they had followed them this entire time...*

*But he still couldn't find a reason to really hate her for it. She needed help, so he promised he would help her. She was kind and generous to him, and gave him some support that many more people around him didn't want to give. A lot of people he'd met were purely business, obviously doing their best to take advantage of this services... But she decided to be more genuine.*

"In any case... Where's this little angel's Ein? The far off look in your eyes doesn't suit you. I'd like to spend all the time I have left with the girl who's sworn an oath for me."
Arthur
"Hmmm I mean that's only fair. It's been well half way through a month... But I'll play along. What is it that you want to do, Déaron?"

*She asked, turning her head back to her... Well, most important person in the world person. She genuinely wanted to know what he wanted to do with her. Maybe stepping it up could be a possibility?* 

"I'm fine with just about everything"
Al
"Well... How about we settle here together? Call this our home for some time. It's abandoned and no one has gone about to claim or take down the foundation yet. That permanent home you've always wanted... And that I could stay with you in."

*He'd gently wrap his hand around Ein's, blushing to himself. His heart beat had begun to rise while thinking over all the things she wanted to do. They could get started on it all here... At least, they had the chance to get it all started here.*

"It will take a lot of work... But since you admitted your intentions with me so blatantly that day, and I had felt the same way throughout all this time..."
Arthur
"Well that's definitely a start. But I myself will want to at least pay our dues to the chief... I don't want us to be seen as squatting. Even if it's just a monthly rent"

*She said, with a tinge of guilt and the such* 

"But yeah... I think I can live with... Well, livung here until I'm ended by the gods"
Al
"It's good to know you feel the same. I'll have to ask about those things when I see him tomorrow... For now, I just want to stay close to both you and the fire. Is it fine if we sleep together tonight? It would help ease some of my own worries."

*Theron snuggled against her, as he was pleased with all that was happening. He couldn't truly tell that she still felt guilty... Mostly because he couldn't understand why she would be feeling like that. He did have suspicions of it, however, and Theron thought to himself that it would have to be solved sooner or later.*

"Would you do that for me, since you care so much about my safety? I won't get lost if I'm holding onto you tight during the night~..."
