"why do you keep calling me sir? that makes me sound old and I'm only 23. Call me Rylan." he smiled.

*Nara hesitated a moment but slowly nodded... She found herself wanting to smile back at him, although she didn't... She rarely ever smiled.* "All right... As you wish..." *She broke a piece of bread off and started eating. She glanced at her pack and then at Rylan.* "Are you sure that you do not wish to eat something?"

"nah, I'm fine. I can go awhile without eating." he was starving, but he didn't want to seem as if he was really needy... which he was in his current situation given that he didn't have anything.

((oh yeah, I keep forgetting. They should be attacked by wolves... yep... ))

*Nara shrugged lightly.* "Very well. Just remember that it is a long time until morning." *She took a bite of meat but then paused, her keen elven ears picking up on a noise nearby. It was the crunch of a twig, but something else as well... a rumbling... like a growl. She remembered what Rylan had said about wolves... Quickly, she set her meal down on a napkin. Slowly and carefully, she got to her feet, quietly unsheathing her sword.*

*that certainly isn't good...* He watched Nara carefully, waiting to see what was coming.

*Nara glanced at her companions and they immediately reached for their weapons as well. The elf turned to stare into the dark shadows of the trees, waiting... She didn't have to wait long however, for at that moment, a large gray wolf bounded from the trees, leaping right at her. Nara barely swung her sword in time to slice into the predator, just before more wolves prowled into their campsite...*

As the wolves swarmed, Rylan gulped and stepped as close as he could to the fire, being surrounded on all sides by wolves. Many wolves came, easily outnumbering the small group of travelers plus Rylan. One of them came straight for him, but he ducked quickly and watched as the beast jumped onto the fire, and as it quickly jumped off,snarling and growling. Rylan stood up shakily and tried to find a safe way to get to a tree he could climb.

*Nara quickly dealt with another wolf before glancing at the others. Everyone seemed to be able to handle themselves... except for Rylan. He obviously wasn't warrior material... Quickly, Nara leapt in front of him, fighting her way through the wolves while shielding him at the same time.*

He gave a breath of relief as Nara practically saved him ((practically? lol)). Rylan looked around for anything that could help them. He may not be fighting material, but he was smart. What do wolves not like... well... *FIRE! They hate fire! It hurts like hell and with enough can keep them away... but how to control it... don't let it hit the ground...* Rylan started looking for dried branches he could easily get.

*Nara didn't have time to look behind her at Rylan, as the wolves kept coming... While she was distracted with one, another leapt at her side, large claws digging into her arm as she nearly toppled over. She quickly recovered her balance and swung her blade in a wide arc that sent both wolves crashing to the forest floor. Ignoring the shallow cuts on her arm, she quickly shouted a warning to Thorin, who was about to be attacked from behind.*

*I gotta hurry...* He grabbed some branches he found and shoved the edges in the fire. Once they lit, he turned to see one coming at him and he swung, hitting it. The wolf then stayed a bit farther from him. "it works!" he smiled.

*Nara glanced over her shoulder at Rylan's exclamation, and she nearly smiled when she saw the flaming branch in his hand. So he's smarter than he looks... She quickly turned her attention to her foes again as their numbers thinned.*

The amount of wolves that came to him became less and less, and then there weren't even any wolves in the clearing. Rylan dropped the branch in the camp fire and sat down by it, a wide smile on his face. *I love being smart.*

*As soon as the last wolf was slain, Nara let out a sigh of relief... She looked to the others to make sure that everyone was all right... Dhara had some dirt on the side of her face, most likely from being knocked over, but that seemed to be the worst damage done to her companions. Slowly, Nara sheathed her sword, lifting her hand to brush her fiery hair out of her eyes.* "Is everyone all right?"
