Everyone turned their attention towards Blue when he spoke up, going on about the car, and where he'd hidden the keys. He seemed to have a good idea of where everything was. At least he hadn't come out here without a complete directional disregard. Most likely he hadn't been lost. He'd just happened to close to where Lofgren was. Eivind managed a slight grin. Maybe Blue wasn't as stupid as he originally thought.<br/><br/>“That could work,” Eivind decided with a nod. Of course, it would leave them separated to some degree, but hopefully not long. And it went without saying that he would be the one to stay with Blue. Alaric had him repeat everything one more time, knowing if he could find the keys, and the car was still there, it would be their best chance.<br/><br/>“Okay, I'll go find everything. You two just focus on finding the road. Either way I'll meet you there, no matter what you find,” Alaric told him, and he turned and bounded off in his wolf form. He'd move more quickly that way, and have an easier time of finding Blue's keys. If they were still there anyway, and he had to be careful about getting too close to any other humans. It would be getting dark soon, so hopefully they would have already cleared out.<br/><br/>Eivind let Blue rest just a few more minutes. Most likely they would make it to the road before Alaric did, but he didn't want to stick around the same spot for too long if he could help him. Still smelling the way he did, at the very least. It would be no question for Eivind who'd done what, and where he'd done.<br/><br/>“We need to go find that road,” Eivind told Blue, frowning. He didn't want to ask him to get up, but they had to. He just hoped this worked out, or they were going to have to think fast. He worried for Sieger and the rest of the pack as well, especially if they were the ones who would be taking the brunt of an irate Lofgren. “The river isn't far.”<br/><br/>Eivind helped Blue to his feet again, careful, worried every time he did so. He'd already gotten so much wrong by not being there for him when he needed him, and even now, he was still fucking everything up. Eivind knew that was in his nature, but he was trying to do better. After he got Blue into his home, and healthy, he was going to do things the proper way. Then Blue would come around to the idea. He had to, right? They were destined to be a mated pair. They changed direction, heading north and it didn't take them long before Eivind could first smell, and then hear the river. He was happy when they saw it because everything came down to them getting their directions and landmarks right.<br/><br/>“Unfortunately I've covered you in blood as well,” Eivind pointed out, knowing it would be best for them to both go in. “And if we travel through the river a distance, it'll make it more difficult for someone to follow us.” It might not have been the best thing for his wound, but it couldn't really be worse than staying in that dusty old cabin. Blue was filthy anyway. Eivind was a strong swimmer so he wasn't worried even if Blue thought he might have a hard time.<br/><br/>He waded to the edge, testing the temperature. It was cooler than he would have liked for a human, but tolerable and they'd only be in it long enough to throw the other wolves off their trail. Once Eivind was satisfied they could get out and get to the road. He wrapped both arms around Blue as they waded into the water, it's current cleansing them of blood and anything else they were covered in.<br/><br/>“I don't regret killing him,” Eivind told him. He hadn't looked remorseful then, and even for the inconvenience, he hadn't been able to muster any regret for what he'd done. Alden deserved to die. They all did, for putting their hands on what wasn't theirs to begin with.
