He didn't answer on the comment of sleeping late because it might as well be true. Either way the presence of his slave gave him the prestige of a noble. For whom else could afford such a beautiful woman. He took hold of several gold pieces and handed three to the blacksmith and two to his daughter. After all they made sure the horses were well and truly cared for. Thus he would continue onwards with Laya beside him. His thoughts were turning towards the happenings of the morning. Laya had of course no idea of the sounds of a blacksmith and he chalked it up to just her being unaware of such.<br/><br/>But something would change this thought. The fact that someone was moving on after the pair, like they were in a hurry. The fact the rider stopped to look directly at them and then keep going before he could utter a word, made him start to question things again in his head. Darius was a touch suspicious afterwards. This felt like the signs of a scout that had gotten away. Nothing else would occur for the remainder of the day and at this point Darius was feeling like it would be wiser to hide themselves when they make camp. Thus the remainder of the evening was spent with the bounty hunter looking for something suitable to keep themselves off the road and out of sight. Riding with her, he spotted a potential spot. Seeing a small shelf of rock behind a hill, he guided them off the road and along side it.<strong>"This will do... We'll camp here for the night, Laya."</strong><br/><br/>Thus with the horses tethered, he began collecting some branches from nearby trees for both firewood and shelter building. He used branches with leaves to cover the makeshift canopy and hemp rope to keep it as a sturdy roof. This would help make things nice and cozy for the pair of them if a little less spacious. He thought better of the fire for the moment as he then spoke of his concerns.<strong>"That rider that passed us this morning. It was looking right at us before he took off. I think we're being scouted or worse tracked."</strong>His eyes kept upon her in the moonlight, of which he could still reasonably see her.<strong>"Can you think of any reason why someone would be tracking us?"</strong>He wanted to hear her answer first and scrutinizes her for possible telltale signs of deception.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Darius makes a Survival Check to camouflage their camp and rolls an 18.<br/>At 2021-08-18 00:33:10, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a3 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155085)
