Julian let her pull her hand from his grasp as he grabbed a light to point the way. It was not something that was overly intelligent to do but he could not see well in the darkness. He walked as best he could as he kept to careful steps as he led the way. As she spoke about a home and some supplies, she was beginning to play to his survival needs and he was not about to pass up a free meal. Looking to her, he made sure she did not stumble too much and would offer help as he could. His mind was buzzing with the what ifs that were flowing through. They all led to certain doom but he was not going to let them control him. As they passed a couple empty rooms, he would make his decision as he came to a stop for a moment. He would stretch a bit to get more comfortable as he looked to her through the darkness.<br/><br/>"Then I will let you lead the way for now. I hope you have some secret paths to follow because I would hate to be left out in the open. They are always watching and I would like to stay out of their sight." He would look around to make sure they were still alone before finding a place to step aside and allow her to lead. He was not one to be a follower at any moment but she was right. She knew this area and she would be able to get them there as quickly and safely as possible. As she passed to lead, he would hand her the light and let her be the eyes to the path while he was the ears to the world.<br/><br/>This change in stance would put him on guard a little. He pulled the rifle from his back and would hold it firmly in his hands. As much as he wanted to trust her, he always felt he was walking right into a trap at all times. Having more than one person in a groups was not very wise and he had seen many groups be torn apart from one false move of a clumsy individual. His eyes were on her but also their surroundings as he followed her step for step.
