[tosses him some dried fruit]

We'll take it a bit slower tomorrow if you're worried about it.

Not that worried.

Well, that's a relief.

It is.

[smiling, ducking his head]

If nothing else, I can get it healed once we arrive.

Right.

...eat your dinner. We have a long day tomorrow.

[okay, eating now]

[eating in silence, mood low.]

We won't get anywhere if you feel like that.

[...huff]

I'm sorry.

You're taking a lot on yourself, Noric.

...I've been in Orion, working my way back up to Lepus through other countries. Cepheus, Pavo, Canis. Telling people they need to go, and soon. But I couldn't get all of them to listen. Some would not.

And how is that your fault?

Because it's my given duty.

Your duty isn't to force people to listen to you, it's to tell people what's happening. Which you did.

[rubs a hand over his face]

I know. But I feel I should have done more.

I know.

[they're all going to die :/ finishes his food.]

You tried.

[gets to his feet]

I'll douse the fire.

...

[doing that, then pulls the blanket out of his pack to get ready for sleep.]

[puts a hand on his shoulder, wordlessly]

[stills.]
