"Alright, you three, down." I told the aelenvari, the other man and our only human female as I collapse onto my own rear. A mixture of moaning and laughter leaving me as I stared up at the night sky. It had taken us the rest of the day just to get around this mountain and far enough away from the crowds for us to safely separate.
"Are we going to rest here for the night or...?" Rose asked as she sat down on me, my cape serving as a blanket for her briefly.
"It's up to you lot, the quicker we get going the better off we will be I say." I tell them while sending my head all the way back to look up the stone giant behind us. My hat falling off shortly after as I had bent my head too far back. But, now that I was aware of it, should I take my mask and hat off for now? When I was on the mountain, that is.
I might lose them if I kept them on climbing up that thing...
"There are places we can rest on along the road up, so let's get going." Baltanthan groaned out as he forced himself up once again.
"I take it all our money is with you three then?" I ask while turning my head to Einervaene who had just refused to get off the bag and was still laying there.
"Yeah... I put most of it with me and Baltanthan."
"I have some?" Rose asked as she fiddled with her bag.
"Yes, I gave you some because there just wasn't much room left in mine and his, but, well, I thought you might want to get something. You know, food, drink, that sort of stuff."
"We have such items packed, Vine."
"I know, I know. I just thought maybe you'd want something fresh? Back in Tryhpeltzweig, I had many talks with the Thurnaimarhos and he mentioned how he was quite fond of these places and all."
"Well, if a human-petal is suggesting them..." Rose said with a linger in her voice before she shook her head and handed the money to Einervaene.
"No, keep it!" she said as she tried to give it back.
"No, I insist, it will be better for you to have it as you'll be more tolerant to whatever root serves us in those places."
"Uh... Okay."
