We load as many people onto the trucks as possible but we make sure all the injured, sick, old, women, and children are on. All but a few can fit but the ones that can't are all younger males. They're able to hold onto the sides of the trucks with ease.
CheeChee finally comes back and hands Thane and I several fruits as he eats a few himself. He left earlier to scout out the best route and of course, he had to stop for food. I scratch CheeChee's little tummy as Valen walks over and says "We're ready. Are you sure you don't want to ride in the truck with us?"
I give him a smirk and say "Oh, I'm sure. I'll need to lead the way anyway but if something were to happen, I need to be able to move quickly." He gives me a worried look and I decide to address something before it's too late.
