The skull was back in its pocket on the haversack, and his pistol back in his holster, but he took his time heading back, idly wondering why he was taking things so in stride. Maybe it was because here they didn't treat him like a half wild animal that might turn on them any second, maybe it was because he never really connected with anything other than battle back home.

He was thinking about heading to the area near the city Aurelia had mentioned, and see how bad things were before deciding what else to do on that agenda. Otherwise, he was just kicking back, staying in shape, learning new methods of killing, and trying to not get bored.

They were getting exhausted before he was.
