Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

"No, you're too much like me to ever make things that easy. Plus, I'd be disappointed if you did." Ryker replied honestly as he walked closer to Anuerin. He never broke eye contact while doing so. "Very self sacrificing of you to keep your chip in order to play bait for them to get away." He added as he came to a stop.

Aneurin tensed as his father approached, but stood his ground. Keeping contact with Ryker, he came to the conclusion that he was at his mercy. Anuerin had avoided arming himself, since it would be obvious if he did so as that was unusual; he had no way of protecting himself except by his own physical strength. "What is it that you want, Ryker? I doubt you came all this way to state the obvious. Or, atleast, what become obvious after your state of oblivion.."

Amaryllis gently laid a hand on Haley's shoulder to calm her. "I'm fine, I just need to rest. I didn't want to worry you, knowing we need to make it to town before nightfall. Let's keep moving. Once we reach the city we can get a goodnight's sleep, than I'm sure in the morning I'll be feeling myself again." She smiled kindly, hoping to ease Haley's disposition.

Haley wanted to argue, insist that Amaryllis take the food offered, but the girl seemed determined that they keep moving. Amaryllis also seemed determined that they would be in luck once they found the town, but Haley wasn't so sure. They had no money, something Amaryllis likely wasn't aware of; nobody there that they knew to speak of, and they both looked rather suspicious. So Haley simply nodded and continued through the woods, noting that the ground was beginning to slant downward a bit. She glanced over at Amaryllis every minute or so to make sure she was keeping up.

"Thank you." Amaryllis smiled with the gratefulness that her friend understood. As to not make it difficult for Haley after convicting her to keep moving, Amaryllis moved briskly in determination despite her weariness.

"You're most welcome," Haley said softly. The sun was nearly gone, and with it, their source of light. A flashlight would be helpful right about now. Haley desperately wished she had been more prepared for this journey, but understood that there wasn't much Aneurin could of done in preparation at the well-guarded lab.

"Did you check the backpack?" Amaryllis asked, even in her determination struggling to make out shapes under the quickly darkening sky. "Maybe Aneurin packed a flashlight, and we just didn't notice it earlier." She suggested, knowing it was unlike Aneurin to leave them unprepared.

"Uh, no, actually," Haley said sheepishly. She opened up the main section of the bag and dug through, careful not to squish the food items. When that turned up nothing, she opened the front pocket and soon pulled out a box. "Matches?" she said, holding the box up to read the label in the fading light.

"Better than nothing." Amaryllis soon concluded. She stood and waited for Haley to light the match, wondering if she had enough light to be able to do so.

Haley thought otherwise. "Maybe," she said slowly. A match wouldn't give off much light or last more than a few seconds before being blown out by any slight breeze. "But we've nothing to light."

Amaryllis positive disposition faded away. "You're right, I hadn't thought of that."

Amaryllis positive disposition faded away. "You're right, I hadn't thought of that."

Haley gave up and returned the box to the front pocket. "Let's just keep moving, I guess," she said quietly. The dark didn't bother her much, thanks to overdoses of unwanted feline DNA, but she knew Amaryllis was having enough trouble keeping up as it was. "The sooner we get there the better," she said in a lighter tone, trying to sound positive for her friend's sake, but really thinking it could be worse once they arrived.
