"Just get on my back, will ya?"
Roala exhaled sharply in a hiss as her shoulder was grabbed. "No." she pulled her arm away- stepping back from the force of the jerk.
"That's... Yes."
Almost not catching it she turned her head. "Its beautiful. "

"No."
"You can barely walk as it is!" Caspian hisses, groaning "Stop being stubborn for one day and accept the help."
"Its beautiful. "
Stilling, he looks away, eyes closing for a moment "So was she." he murmurs,walking over and lifting Roala to his back before she can object, taking care not to hurt her. Once she's situated, he rises and starts walking, reaching the edge of the town "Where to?"

You can barely walk as it is!" "Stop being stubborn for one day and accept the help."
"No!. " she stuck her tongue out at him, crossing her arms defiantly as she continued walking.
"Where to?"
Hearing footsteps she slowed her pace a step Had he given up yet?" As she was pulled towards his back, she dug her heels in as much as she could. "Let go of me!" Once she was on his back , she growled halfheartedly as he started walking. " The other side of town. Now put me down!"

"Let go of me! The other side of town. Now put me down!"
"Too late you're already up there." Caspian murmurs, nodding as he walks, reaching the hand with the necklace up to her "Help me out, and tie it around my neck."

Sighing she pulled away from him, back straightening. Taking it from him she does as he asked before leaning back on him. "There's a shack on the edge of the forest outside of town

"Then that's where we'll go." Caspian murmurs, taking shortcuts until he gets to the north border

"Then that's where we'll go."
Once they reached the border she pointed right. "Its not too far that way. Youll know where its at when you can just barely see the town from here.

"It's not too far that way. You'll know where its at when you can just barely see the town from here."
"Very well." Caspian murmurs, letting out a small sigh as he continues on his way "I assume that's where you and your brother are staying? A place where you can go?"

"I assume that's where you and your brother are staying? A place where you can go?"
"At the moment yes. Although it's only been a day since we came here. I was living in an abondoned shack for awhile." Once they reach the shack she slides off before going to the door. Just about as she was going to open it, the door opened from the other side.
"You came back." Cenric looked up at her after a moment before his eyes widened at the bruise on her face.
"What? Cenric I was only gone for a few hours, I-what's wrong?" She glanced at him confused as he walked towards them with a pale face. "Cenric?" Once he had reached her he raised a shaky hand to her cheek.

"Well, my offer always stands." Caspian murmurs, looking over as the door opens
"You came back."
"What? Cenric I was only gone for a few hours, I-what's wrong? Cenric?"
At the sight of the boy, he stiffens, studying him intently before taking a small step back. 'It can't be... But he has her eyes... Dad's jawline..' he thinks to himself, swallowing before he speaks, quiet as he pushes his thoughts away "She's okay, kid."

After he decided he had enough wood gathered, Forest starts back, pulling the sled behind him. Soon his shack comes into view, he stops as he sees another man there with Ro. He side steps to see around a tree and he freezes, recognizing the hair color and the expression on his face, and the Axe slips from his hand and into the snow. The rope slides out of his hand as he steps to the side again, green eyes wide and vivid, emotion fleeting across it. It's not him. It's not him. His eyes find Cas's face, and a sharp jab of pain constricts his chest as he realizes it's not Abiel, but Abiel's son, and immediately memories start fleeting across his gaze. He takes a few stumbling steps back, twisting before he fell and shifted, the clock sliding off and landing in the snow a few feet from the sled. He take a few long bounding strides, pausing, red vivid against snow, ears lowered as he peers at them.

Roala flicked her eyes to the hand on her face before she sighed, placing her hand on his. Pulling him into a hug, she placed her right hand on his head- not saying a word when he flinched. "I'm home."
"I'm home."
Cenric's eyes widened before he buried his face in her dress. He never knew how much two words could mean so much to him, when he had never known the true meaning of the word. His arms circled her as much as they would allow, her- the woman who had offered to do so much for him. As far as facing their father, and he knew quite well of his temper firsthand
"She's okay, kid."
At the new voice he stiffened before looking up at the stranger. His eyes roamed the mans face before settling on something around his neck. Quickly he tugged on the girls dress, a look described only as the first effects of anger in his eyes. Something he had never felt before coursed through him and he spoke to him, not shyly like usual but firmly. "Why do you have my moms necklace?"

"Why does you have my moms necklace?"
"Kid, that's.. That's complicated." Cas whispers quietly, voice cracking before his head snaps around as he hears a small thump. Gaze raking the landscape, he stiffens when he catches a flash of red fur, face pales 'It can't be.' he thinks, barely registering the thought as his feet carry him quickly in that direction, teeth gritting then parting, determined "Forest?" he calls before stilling, hesitance giving him pause "Please."

Seeing Cas take off towards him he panics, instincts surfacing in an instant, darting through the trees towards the other side of the shack, jumping into a dip in the snow.
"Forest? Please."
Forst presses against the stone underneath the snowy ledge, eyes wide and breath quick, ears back and lowered as he crouches, legs giving a little.as he battles the memories first, then the guilt.

Kid, that's.. That's complicated."
Cenric looked down, unsure how to answer that. His head snapped up when the man took off, looking to Roala in confusion.
"Forest?"
Both of their gazes snapped towards the direction he went, hearing him call out. However Cenric moved faster than she did, breaking off into a run while she managed a small jog/ half walk. He looked up as he reached them, eyes growing thick from worry. "Is he ok?"
