Aaron watched Kendov pass him and just shook his head. Hearing Morgan's answer he began to walk in reverse and shrugged. "Sure, that can be arranged." He said before suddenly stopping and leaning down to whisper in her ear when he got close enough. "As long as you don't piss off the big scary guy ahead. He's the muscle. You can just sit there and look pretty if you want. Well, as long as we aren't under attack, then I'd advice you to fight while looking so pretty." He smirked and then broke out into a brisk walk before she could say anything.<br/><br/>"Kendov, wait! If you try to barge into the castle without me, our guards will try to stick you with their spears." He called out before eventually catching up to him. The walk was long, but eventually they made it to the castle, where Lightning was. She looked up and saw Aaron with two new people. As Aaron told them both they could get some rest in one of the empty rooms, he looked towards her. "You really gonna sit in the cold and keep watch? Go find someone else to do it. Someone who doesn't have to march first thing in the morning. Besides..." Aaron looked into her eyes with a worried expression on his face. "You sometimes don't do so well in the cold."<br/><br/>Lightning just shrugged and then stared at him for a bit. "I...I don't really feel like we have the extra men to pull away from their posts. But if you are so worried, how about taking a shift so I can get a couple of hours of sleep?" She grinned at him. Aaron sighed, knowing very well that he would not be able to say no to that. He just nodded and then walked into the building himself to get some sleep. As agreed, he woke up early so that she could get her own sleep. Though he still got himself some sleep on that cold bench.<br/><br/>Eventually morning came and Lightning passed out rations to all of her volunteers. "We don't have time to eat this morning so here is something to get you going. Don't eat too much of it because it all needs to last until we finish our mission." She told them before Aaron joined her.<br/><br/>"Well, ours will last a bit longer...until we get to the next village." He told Kendov and Morgan.
