<br/>​</div>The constant back and forth barbs exchanged between Shadow and Sybille were just background noise to Marek now, who had learned long ago to tune out that which was not necessary. It was one of the very first things you learned in meditation. So as they bickered he simply took in the sights.<br/><br/>However, he did pick up on the fact that Shadow had been followed. Perhaps this accounted for her aggressive attitude and general prickliness. It would make sense. But as Sybille asked him if he'd noticed anything he shook his head.<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"No, I don't think we were followed at all, and certainly not after we left Vigil."</span></b>he stated with confidence.<br/><br/>Marek's eyes widened a little when he told they'd be having wild hog and elk. He'd never tried elk, and he was always up to try new things. But then Shadow took off, leaping away, and though he might have followed, he wanted to stay with Sybille. He felt bad for her as she seemed so out of sorts. Her question about clothes brought a small shrug.<br/><br/><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"I have some clothes you could borrow, but I do not think they would be very flattering for your..."</span></b>he blushed as he realized that his next words might give away the fact he'd quite noticed her, yet he pushed forward,<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"figure."</span></b>he finished and managed to keep his gaze on her instead of turning away. He cleared his throat and said,<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Shall we go and eat first? Ask for a place to bathe perhaps? Check out our lodgings?"</span></b>he asked, though the last brought a blush anew as he thought of cohabitation.
