Like Raza, Theo makes no attempt to volunteer for a watch before hitting the hay. If anyone asked, he'd claim exhaustion and argue that he was too likely to doze off for it to be safe for him to take a watch. Honestly, he wasn't that tired, but Theo would say anything to get out of work.
Surely this trip couldn't last much longer ... Another thing Theo shared with Raza was the desire to get back to Torchline and normal life again. Herding unicorns was so much more work than Theo's usual drifting and grifting lifestyle. And Theo remained a city boy at heart; all of this wilderness made him nervous. You couldn't lie to nature. It would kill you no matter how charming you were.
