Cole looked on, impressed with Peony's flashy athleticism, then smirked at her comment.<br/><br/>"I didn't know they had Ninja training in college?" he joked. Then he looked on into the woods and a more serious expression took over his face.<br/><br/>"Nah, no wheels lass. It's best to go by foot anyways, vehicles make too much noise when yer' only goin so far. We'll head straight through that path. It'll be about a twenty to thirty minute walk, depending on how cautious we are. Some stenches tend to wander about these woods, but not too many. That's why I've stayed there so long. Right then...follow me." Cole made his way to the edge of woods, stopped, looked, and listened. After a few more moments he motioned for Peony, holding a finger up to his lips to tell her to try and keep quiet all the way through.<br/><br/>Eventually they made it back to his tree. Cole reached over and pulled on his knotted rope and pointed upwards. The actual 2x4's he had used to build the platform was indeed large, connecting to at least 5 different large trees.<br/><br/>"The climb is usually the biggest pain since everything is so high. But it's well worth it. Plenty of room up there for a small group of people, so climb on up, pick a spot, and make yourself comfortable" Cole stood at the bottom of the rope, scanning the area. He glanced up to see Peony just pulling herself onto the platform and started his ascent. Once on top he pulled up the rope then placed it onto a the large tree branch it usually rested on. Cole pointed to one of the larger tree trunks that the platform was connected to.<br/><br/>"Right on the other side is an extra sleeping bag and blankets. I use those in the winter so I won't be needing them now. Tomorrow when we go hunt for food we can get some more stuff like that and yer more than welcome to stay as long as ya like."
