RIGBY
It didn't take long for Maeve to finish up and hurry to meet him, the woman falling into step with him rather than following behind. Another suggestion, to follow the creek. That was the plan, no need to point out the obvious. "Planned on it," he replied, somewhere between being rude and simply confirming the means.
Sucked to be pale, and Maeve wasn't alone in that. His cheeks and nose had an unhealthy amount of red on them, luckily his clothes protected the rest of his body (other than his feet, which were shaded in the grasses anyway). At least for now the smattering of sun blush didn't hurt, but it would start to peel at some point. Whatever, sunburn was still the least of their problems.
The sun was past noon, it slowly descended towards the horizon. Once again they'd stopped for a break, closer and closer to who knew what end. There was a nagging fear at the back of his mind that they'd gone the wrong way, that they were headed not for Torchline but towards more feral lands. He quelled that thought with a splash of cold water to his face. "Does it look familiar to you?" he pointed sarcastically, swinging his head around to look at her with dark eyes more sunken than usual.
