Chapter 234: Lance’s Concerns
As they continued travelling, Kim made certain to keep her own head on a swivel. There was too much that could happen that may or may not be related to the shadow. Plus, she couldn't be sure that whatever it was, was alone.
The path they were on climbed to be about twenty feet above the river and then levelled out. The mountains around them were starting to become more angular and look more like a canyon. Though, the path they'd been travelling along seemed to be staying the same width. Which Kim merely considered a small blessing.
As it was one less thing to worry about. In addition to the turns that kept coming along as they walked. When the sun finally descended behind the surrounding mountains Kim started to look for a place for them to set up camp.
There wasn't much in the way of firewood to find here, so Kim had to hope that they either wouldn't need it so much in the days to come or that they'd be able to find something else to use. Not that she was confident what that 'something' might be.
When the camp was set up, Kim felt like the events of the entire day started to catch up with her. To the point she was contemplating going to bed before they'd even made dinner. Not that she really was that excited over Elin's current attempt at making her 'stuffed buns.' Especially since they seemed to be stuffed only with the stew that usually was what they had for any meal rather than something else that would go better with the bun.
Kim couldn't be sure if it was that she was starting to relax as to why she suddenly felt so worn out, but she wasn't going to take time to try and figure it out. She was more interested in getting to sleep.
"Kim, could I get a moment of your time?" Lance asked as Kim was about to duck into her tent while Elin was still cooking her stuffed buns.
Kim sighed as she stopped entering the tent. "Sure, just make it quick."
"Sure, I just wanted to check with you. Should we be worried about the shadow that startled everyone?"
Kim shook her head. "Not at the moment," she answered, feeling like he should already be aware of this fact. "If it was going to attack, when we first saw it would have been a better time for it to do so. Here, It's a little more limited with how it can maneuver."
"Okay, but what should we do if it does attack?"
