He nodded, rubbing her gently. *sure. Mind if I stay with you? Safety in numbers, after all.*

"That's what I was partially suggesting. Now we just have to get Cera back there. Come on brave girl up and let's go home. I owe you some treats.''

Cera rose, limping a little.

Carlos walked with them, petting Cera.

Ali limps beside them rubbing on Cera too, "Come on you can do it Cera.''

(Time skip to when they get there?)

(Sure)

Soon, they arrive.

Ali helps finish treating Cera, "Carlos search the packs for apples if you find a few give them to Cera.''

Carlos did so and gave a bunch to Cera.

She snapped them down happily.

Ali more or less colapses next to Cera, "Dig out some more medical supplies will you please? Are you hurt? Also why didn't you, I don't know, climb a tree to escape?"

He searched in the bag. *um... I lived alone. On the streets. I... kinda stowed away on the boat. I travel a lot as a hitchhiker and stowaway. So... I dont have time to have fun and live a life. So, no. I dont know how to climb a tree.*

Ali's eyes softened, "Oh so you're an orphan too. Well you'll learn to climb a tree one way or another. Now are you hurt? If not pass me the medical supplies and I'll treat myself then we can rest for a while before working on the house if that's okay with you."
