"No, Garth.Lumian wanted you to go." Arya said, trying to sound reassuring.

[The Skarzs]

Garth sighed shakily. "You're right; there was no way anybeast was to know what could have happened. But I can't help feeling guilty. At least. . . at least you're alive."

[Cornflower MM]

"Yes, at least least I'm alive, and you're alright. If you had come in a few more days. . . ." Arya murmured, shuddering as she looked at the hole.

[The Skarzs]

"Don't think about it, Arya; please. Let's get you somewhere you can rest easy, and we'll bury Lumian in a bit."

[Cornflower MM]

"Okay. But, Garth, there's one day's worth of provisions down there. Everything else was burnt." Arya said, fervently hoping the squirrel would get the picture.

[The Skarzs]

Garth flinched. "And his garden was ruined as well. Our choices are really thin; I'm not sure what we're gonna do," he said.

[Cornflower MM]

"I can forage a bit." Arya said in a stronger voice.

[The Skarzs]

"We both will; I have a little left in my pack, and I'm pretty sure I saw a berry bush not far from here on my way back." The squirrel set down his pack.

[Cornflower MM]

"Okay." Arya replied, sitting down with a soft bump.

[The Skarzs]

"I guess we should. . . bury Lumian. You don't have to help if you don't want to."

[Cornflower MM]

"I'd rather not." Arya said, remembering the agonized scream she'd heard.

[The Skarzs]

Garth nodded, and went to find a decent place. He dug a shallow hole with a piece of wood and carefully laid the mouse down. Covering it with dirt and some rocks, he bowed his head, and went back to Arya.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya was peacefully sleeping, having not really slept for about four or five days.

[The Skarzs]

Garth found Arya asleep, and covered her in the cloak he had from his journey. Going back to the berry bush he had seen earlier, he discovered it was a blueberry bush, and put as many as he could into a fold in his tunic.
