It took the couple little time to gather up the books and weapons. Skye had been excited when she'd seen the blanket Tidas had grabbed. She'd complimented him on having the forethought to grab something to carry everything in. Tidas coughed and shook his head; accepting her false praise. He'd actually brought the blanket in case Skye'd been cold, but it was a moot point now.
Tidas wrapped up the books and swords in strips of the dragon leather, while Skye pulled the rest down and folded them to fit in the blanket. She'd been surprised at how flexible and lightweight the strips were. What surprised her the most, however; was their untouched state. Everything around them was crumbling apart except anything having to do with the dragon's flesh.
