The man looked back at Katherine, then to the woman in charge. With an assertive nod, she made sure he complied and the weapon was, reluctantly, returned to the vault dweller.  They traveled for awhile, mostly in silence as the tribals kept a keen vigil on their surroundings. They seemed to act as if danger lurked around every corner.<br/><br/>They soon left the site of the battle behind, and even the road. Katherine was beginning to suspect it would be difficult to find her way back home, although she may be able to manage with the help of her Pipboy. Finally, at a satisfactory distance away from what they considered danger, the dark woman who led the trio nodded and said, "This is far enough."<br/><br/>The spot they had chosen was entirely in the wilderness. Aside from the distant wreckage, they appeared to be far from civilization. What was perhaps once a lush forest was now just a place of half-burnt tree trunks long dead, each like a grave marker sticking up out of the ground. If there ever was a forest three feet high, this was it.<br/><br/>The large man was the first to sit down, eager to be relieved as he put his back up against a tree and set his sledge hammer down. The blonde woman turned to the other female tribal and said, "I'll go find her something to eat."<br/><br/>The leader replied, very earnestly, "Thank you!" She watched her take a few steps before adding, "Be careful!"<br/><br/>She looked worried... but then turned her attention back to Katherine, "My name's Kiana." She pointed her chin at her heavy set companion, "That's Luka. And the pale one's Lani."
