Are
Recognizing the look of denial present in the man was agony, for he so knew the feeling that there had to be some way out. Some thing everyone had forgotten and lied in wait just behind the next hill, a truth allowing Caido to be nothing more than a bad dream. A temporary bump in the road but nevertheless just that, temporary.
He wanted nothing more than to lie to the man, give him the hope he so desperately sought. Anything but the truth as Are had come to know it, that whatever was, was no more.
His peculiar words elicited a cocked eyebrow but one fading as their demands were made clear. How the drowning gasp for air only for the sea to answer them 'no'. "That way. I don't have a clue how many we are, enough that you know the faces but not the names of all." Are said, motioning over his shoulder, over a hill and beyond. His voice still desperately clinging to what little warmth he had to spare, gods knew he needed it. "There's all we need, but not what you're looking for I reckon. What are you even looking for?" he couldn't help but to ask, curiosity getting the better of him as he knew it would just add fuel to the fire.
