Juniper managed the groups that remained behind. The defense team cleared the tall grass in the area in order to get a better view of the area. Meanwhile the shelter group tied together branches from large trees and piled the cut grass in order to soften the ground for them to sleep on. It wasn't perfect or ideal but it was the best that they could do. Most of them had no experience building anything. Fortunately, one of the boys helped their father with carpentry and so had some vague idea with how to build.<br/><br/>After contributing to clearing the grounds, Juniper drew up a rota for her team to take in turns with the lookout. With a long night ahead of them, the defense team made themselves comfortable and relaxed. Juniper carved the rota into the ground with a stick; expressing clearly how the night would unfold. There would always be at least three people on guard at a time. She would take the first watch; to make sure everything went well, and the final watch around dawn.<br/><br/>She kept her eye out for Geir's party to return. She was worried about him and impatient. Hopefully the hunting team could handle themselves. While she did trust Geir, she couldn't help but worry. Aynir rested his head on her lap and snorted; she suddenly felt at ease remembering that they had dragons at their side.<br/>"Keep a ear out for the Geir and his team. They might need an extra hand." She ordered at the rest of the boys out of precaution.
