Bound and determined to see the sun's ascent from a better view than this one, he continues along the path with ease.  It was certainly a better trek this way than the way he'd come from — if he'd known there had been a path already beaten down, he would've done that.  His ignorance around mountaineering certainly shone through.  He lets out another laugh at her comment.  Sure was, he confirms, meeting her eye as he trails in tandem up the mountain.  Sounds like a good time, he says idly, wondering if it'd be a good place to settle down over the winter.  Are you guys full up?  Got room for me?

Are you from around here?  He shakes his head though she likely can't see it.  I'm from far out east.
