Emberwood Walking and the sky keeps falling down

She nodded at his thanks. Of course. She wouldn't be able to rest if she didn't check, and she was willing to bet he would feel the same way. Plus, it was just stupid not to make sure they were safe wherever they decided to stop. 

He nudged the rabbit closer, and she tried to hide how much she really didn't feel like eating. But she knew she needed to, and she wouldn't need to eat very much to satisfy them both. So Taki picked up the food and settled down in front of Taikon. She nosed the rabbit around a few times between her paws before beginning to eat. She was quiet as she ate her first few bites, her gaze scanning the area around them for any signs of movement. Again, she saw nothing alarming, and she focused back on her meal. 

Her gaze finally settled on Taikon where he lay in front of her, seemingly lost in thought. Guilt swelled in her chest, making the piece of food she had been chewing on very difficult to swallow. What are you thinking about? she asked quietly. There were many options, really. They had many things to worry about and many uncertainties ahead of them, so there really could be a number of things on his mind. But maybe she could help soothe his worry some more, or at least commiserate.
