Scotland! pt 2

[likeroaringlions]

They do reach the Clyde by nightfall, though too late to cross at the ford. There's just light enough left for hunting: dusk, with rabbits coming out. William has them a supper in no time. And the rain has stopped, more or less. A dry-enough night for a cooking fire, and it's not a bad prospect, spreading out the sheepskins and blankets to sleep on.

Cold, though. It would have been nicer traveling a month ago, or even just a couple of weeks.

William grunts a no-I'm-totally-awake grunt. Because see how awake he is? So awake. That's why it takes him several seconds to formulate a reply...which ends up being a rueful agreement. "Next good spot we see, aye."

So it's not too long before they're laying out their sheepskins again, rolling up again in their cloaks, bedding down. And William's offer to take the first shift of watch duty comes out rather less convincing that he means it to.

"Rest you first," Harry says. Because yeah, that's not happening. "I will wake you."

[likeroaringlions]

"Aye...well...do. And I'll take first watch tomorrow night." There, that at least he can sound certain about. Tomorrow night. He'll so take first watch...

He's snoring.

And Harry settles in to watch.
