The plan had been to make their way back to that lake they found. Maybe spend the night there. Get a fresh start bright and early the next morning. But they were from out of town. They weren’t from any town. So retracing their steps turned out to be less simple than they thought. Instead they ended up in what was clearly the bad part of town, even to outsiders.
Tahl apparently didn’t care. She kept darting ahead of him to point out some new thing Which was fine, he could catch up pretty easily if he needed to. She was just being very...buoyant. Even though they were both equally tired, equally scared that someone would catch them. He knew she was faking being fine (he couldn’t help that) and part of him wished she wouldn’t bother. But he also knew that she was doing it mostly for his sake, so he didn’t say anything.
~Ooh, fire hydrant,~ she said, looking back at him with a suggestive eyebrow waggle.
~Don’t even think about it. We’d get police or something coming out, ~ He glanced at some of the darkened buildings. ~We’d be better off trying to see if there’s an empty apartment where the plumbing still works.~
Tahl clapped her hands to her face to hide a gasp. A patently silly gesture when no one could see her mouth. ~Jorah! That would be breaking and entering!~
He snorted.
She looked like she might say something more. In fact she definitely would have teased him further, she they heard something. She tilted her head to listen. ~Hissing?~
He glanced down one of the little crevices in between the buildings and gestured. And of course she was darting off to go investigate in a flash.
Shit.
