If she watched him, she'd see he turned away as she got closer to the ground, giving her a bit of modesty that he could otherwise steal.  Once she spoke, though, he turned back, rolling his eyes at her comment that he knew what he was doing.  "I have a better memory than you give me credit for..." he laughed, heading out again before she could begin.  "And this is easier than sewers..." he added, figuring that would kill any debate right there.  He glanced down at his boots only briefly - he kind of missed his one ones, but these smelled so much better.<br/><br/>The forest thinned out as they got closer - even in a short time, simple movement had already begun to thin it out - and they camp into camp a few dozen feet from the main path that had been beaten into the earth.  The camp was the smaller of the two 'normal' camps, but it still boasted nearly two-dozen people.  And, unlike its predecessor, this one seemed more planned, more logically built.  A few tents still remained, but thatch huts had replaced most of them and a few mud-brick buildings were being built, as well as a large bread kiln.  In the center was a large fire pit that had already been decorated a bit with loose stones found around the island.  But unlike the other camp, this one only had a handful of women - in the past month even Tommy had noticed a difference.<br/><br/>They were quieter than the others, but they seemed happier in the security in the strict rules.  Telling buildings apart was quite easy - there were two rings of shelters, and the numbers reflected the demographics easily - each of the women had a shelter closer to the center, the men forming a ring of protection.  These men also carried crude spears, although a few of the manufactured weapons - like Tommy's rapier - were here as well.  Saul had given a few to each camp to keep the peace and for protection.<br/><br/>The two were able to walk almost to the fire itself before someone stopped them, a tense moment crossing between them before they recognized the two of them.  "Julian figured that someone would mention the hog at the service..." he lamented, not exactly pleased that others had come for their feast.
