Dex looked on as the woman appeared more than capable as she caught the beast by surprise and put an end to it. He kept his bow raised and aimed at the remaining pack which quickly scurried off and disappeared from sight now that they were outnumbered. They wouldn't go far and Dex knew that he'd have to keep a lookout in case the packed decided to return and follow them.<br/><br/>For now, Dex and Fia seemed to have found the other group that they were meeting up with. The dangerous thing was that they couldn't be certain, and trust never came easy in this new world. Instead, Dex had to trust his instincts and his gut in order to determine if the people were worth saving. Mistakes in this world were often the difference between life or death, and Dex reminded himself that the fear of death is what has kept them alive thus far.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You might not have, but I think she would have been fine."</span>He spoke honestly, replying to the man while his eyes studied the woman and assessing any possible threat from her. It was instinctual, and he expected her to do the same as she brought forth his arrows.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thanks, just be glad I hit them and not you." </span>He quipped, meeting her gaze. He retrieved the arrows from her, cleaning off the arrowheads and inspecting the shafts and fletchings before sliding them into his pack. He studied the pair as they stood before them, continuing to assess and read their body language as he always did whenever they came across another group. His instincts guided him to stand forward, placing himself between the pair and Fia in case something happened.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Are there others coming or..." </span>He asked trailing off . He lifted his gaze to briefly assess the area behind the pair in case there had been others whom he had not seen nearby.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Are you all that is left?" </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">Dex dropped his gaze back towards the woman, his jaw clenching as he met her gaze before turning his attention towards the older man. He figured that these were from the group that was to meet up, but keeping his guard up was what had kept him and Sofia in one piece thus far.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">Dex then looked at the dead beasts on the ground, knowing that Sofia would be able to make some use out of the carcasses. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"We get to claim the ones that we killed. Sound fair?"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"> He asked the woman, nodding his head towards the three corpses that were strewn about. </span>
