"No I wouldn't," she said defensively. "Why would i ever do that?"

" Because if you were hurt, I would get stressed and worried, and if that happened I would make you rest, which you don't want to do. "

"You're right, I refuse to rest."

" Which I guess I should have made you because then it would be only me lost out here and you'd be warm and dry and safe.. "

"And worried sick," she added. "If I was back at the cabin right now I would've thought you got eaten by some wild animal."

" But still, I think that is better then you being soaking wet, cold, and in the woods. At least if one of us was back there we would know the general area and be able to find the other I would assume. "

"Or...the one who had stayed behind went out looking and got lost too, but in a totally different part of the forest than the other."

" ... Okay never mind this is completely fine I like this.. this is great.. "

She hummed in response. "That's what I thought. Aren't you so glad you brought me along?"

Alister responded by giving her a hug, holding her close. He was shaking a bit in fear at the thought of her being all alone in the woods..
