Why would we turn back? We have not found the cadets yet... [If anything, he was confident he had the skills and the supplies to spend the night in relative comfort. He saw absolutely no reason to go back. He gave her a slight nod when she mentioned shelter as he started the slow trek across the clearing.] We will worry about that when it is closer to sundown. If the cadets are alive and not moving, like you say, it is likely they have shelter.
[His hunch proved correct. Shelter from the wind, but a pitiful fire and no supplies. Luckily, they'd brought supplies and Ragnar had a large fire going within the hour, pointing out what he was doing to any cadets with enough energy to listen. Blankets were handed out and Ragnar went about making sure that none of the cadets were sitting around in any wet clothing, placing wet boots and a few wet jackets by the fire in the hope that they would be dry by morning.
Finally, he settled down against the wall beside Rogue, munching absently on some jerky.
He chuckled softly at the question.] Yes. Many times.
What keeps you awake now? I will keep watch. [He offers her a small, but reassuring smile, assuming it was anxiety keeping her from nodding off.]
