decay is a scent that lingers — one that he hasn’t and hopes to never get used to ; something humans shouldn’t grow accustomed to. that’s what they are. human. some times he has to remind himself of that simple fact. after all they’ve done ; all he’s done... it’s proven a more difficult feat than he would have ever thought.
it’s his watch. cold hands rub together and press deep into thin pockets. the jacket he’s wearing is leather. not as warm as he’d like but it does the job ; is good for keeping the bite of cold or other things from his skin, at least. embers smolder, a fire near death. sparks fly up when draws a hand out to pokes at it with a stick, a small flare of warmth. he roots around in his pockets for something to start it up again, well aware that it will cause a beacon of light in the night that fast approaches. he comes up with an old photograph left behind by the former owner of his coat. he doesn’t look at their faces ; makes quick work of ripping it into pieces and feeding it to the dying fire with a handful of dry twigs and the last of the wood they’ve collected. he’ll need to get more when she wakes.
