"Which way do we go now?" Sheila asked, straining her eyes to even see the road in the dark
"Ask Hank, he's the leader," Eric snarled in his usual sarcastic tone.
"Quiet Eric, I'm thinking." Hank fired an arrow into the night sky, briefly illuminating the area around them. "I think we'd better camp here for tonight and move on in the morning. Eric, you take first watch."
"Watch what? We can't see a thing!"
"Just do it!"
With a muttered grumble under his breath Eric headed a little further ahead and settled himself down. He was far enough ahead of the other that they wouldn't be able to hear him complaining so he drew his cloak around himself and shiverred.
"Everyone else has someone to help keep them warm but not me, oh no, I have to keep watch."
"I'm here."
Eric's head whipped around, his shield at the ready. He relaxed when he saw it was Hank, blanket in hand.
"Thought you might want this."
Hank sat down beside Eric and wrapped the blanket around them both, placing an arm around Eric's shoulders
"You have no idea how hard it is, pretending to hate you all the time." Eric said quietly, his voice subdued
"I know, I wish we didn't have to do it like this but I don't think the others would understand."
"Yeah...are you sure they don't know you're here?"
"They're all asleep. I checked."
Eric smiled and snuggled deeper into Hank's embrace. "Good, now let's see about warming each other up."
