After the run in with the roadside scam the rest of our travel for the day was peaceful and Zierra and I made small talk about our lives as we continued. I told her stories on contracts I've taken, what weapons I can use, the monsters I've fought, and some more light hearted stories from the Wolf's Den while she told me more about her clan, the training she did as elven royalty, how she had always wanted to travel more, and even told me a few folk tales of her people. Before either of us knew it the sun was beginning to set and needed to stop to make camp.
"If memory serves me correctly there is a really nice place to camp in that cluster of trees ahead," I said and pointed to a little area that was separated from the rest of the forest by a fork in the road. "It keeps us hidden from the road and is less likely to have predators come from deeper in the forest."
