Even more Improvements

My lady has instructed me to aid you on your journey. I already know why didn’t you tell me that three days ago when you started following me? Ha like you would be able to find me, I am a master of stealth. You were chasing a rabbit yesterday afternoon and managed to get your head stuck in the hole it ran into. Well, I. It took you a few hours to get out of it. Wait how did you. I didn't hear you from behind for a few hours. How do you even do that? Stick around and you might learn something “master of stealth”. Now see here I am a familiar, not some drooling mongrel you find in chasing its tail. Then act like one and maybe I’ll change my mind. Just be lucky I knew it was you and decided to turn you into a pelt. Like that would kill me. Well, that's how an arrow through your eye socket usually works. Well yes, that would kill me but it also wouldn’t. Care to explain or do familiars have the power to cheat death. Well actually from a certain perspective yes. Bullshit. Well since my lady trusts you I might as well if we're stuck in predicament. Rather than going through the complexities of magic since you won’t want to hear that. You know me too well. When a familiar is killed, the magic that makes us returns to our master and in a few days, we reform. Does it still hurt? Of course, it does. Then I’ll make sure not to let that happen then. Wait, you don’t want to know what happens after we die. Some things are best kept left alone. Thank you. Now tell me the reason why Sophia sent you to come with me. Traveling alone is easier and I wouldn’t attract any attention to myself. She is just worried about you. With all the danger you told us about she figured that it would be safer you have an extra pair of eyes to watch over you. I can handle myself just fine, you should be watching over her instead. That's what I told her but she insisted I go with you and I couldn’t just disobey her like that. I thought familiars were supposed to protect their masters from making mistakes. Yes, but this is not one of them. She believes that you are working yourself too hard and she knows you’ve barely been eating for a while now. She doesn’t want you to end up collapsing. I have been trained to deal with this and the food I have can be put to better use. You know that you don’t carry the weight of the world by yourself. Might be you know the Brotherhood is nothing more than strangers forced together to survive don’t you. Well yes of course I do. Then you should know that people are fighting one another because their way is best. Fair point, what do you think? It’s best that we keep on going and no more talking. I don’t need you to be caught because of your loudmouth. Well at least I will be able to avoid capture, they’ll just believe that I’m a fox. Then how would you be able to survive the wolves then? Wolves! No, you're wrong, there aren't any wolves in the area, I haven't picked up a scent. They have only been passing through lately in search of food and by the looks of it, it is a pretty large pack. With all the commotion going on around here I am not surprised if most of the game has been chased off. Once they do find something though, they won’t stop until they sink their teeth into it. Fine, then I guess I will make sure nothing happens to you then. So how much farther to the camp then. It should only take a day or more to reach the nearest village, the Krae are often in the living southern areas of the forest so we shouldn’t find any trouble once we get near them. Well, that is a relief at least, so how do you usually deal with these wolves. Do you mind trees? Wait trees you can’t be serious, can’t you just use fire to ward them off. That usually works when they won't risk endangering themselves, but if they're desperate enough they won't care about it. Not to mention we are trying not to attract attention to ourselves. You make a good point. But a tree? It is the only place they won't be able to reach, it will let us get the drop on anyone trying to find us as well. Must we do such a thing? I guess I'll just leave you down here then if you have a problem just hope you can dig a hole fast enough before night cause I doubt that will help you much fine you win this time but I should let you know one thing I am not fond of heights Now, no more talking we need to get to has fast as we can before night comes The journey south was quite, to say the least as neither Carne and Finneci said much to one another as the day went as Carne wanted to remain silent for the rest of the trip to avoid any unwanted attention from anyone that might be around.
