Hours now surely he'd been walking. The path had become twisted shortly into the hike and the trees made it impossible to see further than a few feet. It was getting late and the sunlight was fading fast. Walking unaccompanied at night was not the smartest thing to do by any standards. The traveler chose now rather than later to set up camp.<br/><br/>Kosuke pulled off the road to where he wouldn't be seen unless someone was looking for him. He found a small patch of grass hidden behind some bushes. The grass was a bit damp from the fog that often graced mountains, but it was comfortable enough. At least for one night's rest anyway.<br/><br/>The traveler pulled a paper talisman out of his bag. He held it up in the air as high as he could reach and released it. It hung, suspended there for a moment before vanishing from sight. That talisman would create a small shield around him while he slept that would keep out hostile presences. It was rather handy, and would stay active until he removed the unseen talisman.<br/><br/>He pulled some food out of his pack and ate it quietly; the sounds of the animals were all this forest needed. As soon as he was finished he pulled off his cloak and used it as a type of bedroll. Hopefully he wouldn't get too wet and cold during the night.<br/><br/>While it's true that it's better safe than sorry, the irony was the there was a mountain village not two hundred yards from where he lay.
