Henry nods. "Lead the way," he gestures.

Josh keeps careful watch on Ava. When he comes back down, the healer nods. "Yeah. The path is mostly clear of other life forms so it shouldn't be hard."

The teens set off, though the terrain is still rugged and gets progressively more and more hard to traverse as they reach the ridge. They seem to be heading upwards in altitude, but it's hard to tell exactly until they actually get to the area Avalon has been talking about.

Of course it's been a long day already, and as they start nearing the ridge, the sun is beginning to start it's march towards darkness. It's not setting yet, but if they intend to find some place worth staying, it would best be done before nightfall.

"We sure didn't get too far.. but at least we got here." Avalon says cheerfully, before he heaves out a sigh and then asks "Which way do you guys think? We might be able to find a cave if we went down the canyon. Though up here it's going to be easier to travel in which ever direction we settle on."

Henry's gotten pretty sweaty from the long, warm walk, and he's taken his shirt off for the walk. He wipes his face with his shirt.

"Let's stay here. Set up camp out on the ridge. That way, we can see if a Feartail heads overhead, and if we get attacked by a predator, we won't be locked in anywhere." Henry grins. "Plus, sleeping out under the stars will be nice."

Josh's shirt just ends up opened. Sleeveless and thin, it's just hanging on him. He's not sweating yet but the heat is bugging him.

"Yeah, here is fine," he says. "The novelty wears off quick," he says softly. "But it'll be nice with you guys."

"If we're lucky, it'll only be a few nights." Avalon says to them, grinning widely. The heat is something that doesn't bother him really for he's mode designed to deal with it. That or he's been on Starhaven enough times that he doesn't even think about the heat any more.

"Let's try and find a spot then get settled. Build a fire.. all that.." he says. "We should also try to find something to eat, but I can take care of that better form the sky."

"I'll build the fire. Ava, you find an animal to eat, and Josh, you find some edible plants. We meet back here." Henry moves off to the shrubs, looking for some wood they can use.

Josh squirms a little, not liking splitting up. "Okay," he says after a moment. "Just don't go too far," he requests, heading out into the shrubs in search of edible plants.

Luckily, it's not too dangerous in this area. Avalon takes off with his spear and knife and is gone for a good bit, hunting for anything that might be unlucky enough to come across his path. He returns as the sun is finally starting to sink lower in the sky, two small rabbit like creatures already cleaned and ready to be roasted. He made sure to get them ready out of Josh's view out of respect for the healer.

When Henry returns, he's got a large stack of wood he's managed to chop to pieces with the hand-axe he brought. He's hoping it should be enough to keep them going through the night. He's got the fire going, with other pieces off to the side to be fed to the flames as needed.

"We'll probably want to sleep in shifts," Henry suggests. "That way, we've got someone awake in case of predators, and keep the fire going. I don't mind taking the middle shift."

Josh is gone the longest of the trio. He stopped to enjoy the feel of the planet, heal a broken tree, and very carefully examine the plants. When he returns, he's got an armful of edible plants and even some berries.

"Okay, Henry. I can take the first shift," he volunteers. "Make mine double too. I can last longer without sleep."

Ava nods to what Henry says, and leaves his kill with the other teen as he ventures just into the brush to find what he is looking for.. sticks about an inch wide and long enough to stake the rabbit-things on. When he returns he starts to ready their meal for cooking, his eyes turning between the two others. "Alright.. if that's what you guys want. I am usually up early any way so it won't be hard for me to get up a few hours before dawn and take the last shift." he agrees.

Soon he has the rabbits angled over the fire and settles down next to it, his wings pressed against his spine. "So.. here we are.." he says with a small little smile. "I almost miss Rock Band."

"There's something to be said for camping, and getting away from Rock Band for a bit," Henry notes. He glances at Josh. "I mean, as long as you can go home afterward... right?" He leans back, looking up to the sky.

Josh blushes at the mention of Rock Band. "Well...I can still sing if you guys want me to..." he offers bashfully. "And yeah...having a home to go back to makes things good."
