In the middle of the night

Keeping pace with the others was easier than he thought it would've been, though he mainly focused on keeping up beside Lailah with her shorter legs and slowed pace. It made him feel like a protector in a way, though he highly doubted she needed that considering the other half of this traveling party. So whether or not he felt like a guard on duty, he busied himself with learning the plants of this region as they passed them, after all, he didn't have to stay as close as Lailah did. Sometimes slipping away if something caught his eye before coming back to join up again.

That was how he was keeping his mouth shut easily though, the bundle of peppermint he had found on one of those little look-arounds, not for himself but for the quiet woman. At least this way he couldn't stick his foot in his mouth and press buttons for the moment.Just for the moment though. There was some irritation at the fact Ultyr was hiking a pregnant woman through the woods and mountains on this trip, and he would be voicing it once he could talk again.

Ganymede was pulled out of his thoughts though when he noticed the sun dipping behind the canopy ahead of them, the darkness inside felt like it would be suffocating if he was honest and it had his hackles raising underneath the pelt across his back. There was no falter in his following after Ult and Lai however, the darkness here drove him to keep closer to them than he normally would. Once they found the circle of stones, and Ultyr seemed to approve, he found a good spot to drop the pelt onto the ground with the peppermint leaves on top of it before giving himself a good stretch. Once he was stranding he glanced at the rabbit before over at Lailah. "You should eat and rest, I'll take care of setting everything up here while conqueror dearest keeps watch up there." There was no heat to his words, unlike when they first met and he was full of biting remarks. Moving off to find things for a small fire to be lit while also keeping his eyes open for anything that could be useful.
