He kept checking up to see if she was asleep from time to time. It was probably a hour or more before her breathing told him she was asleep. He took off his shirt, rolling it in a ball and putting it between his neck and the branch he was leaning on, waiting for morning, alert for any other beast that might be curious.

Starla was able to sleep, albeit a little restlessly, through the rest of the night.
She was used to sleeping in, so didn't wake right away in the morning.

Nothing else happened throughout the night. Simon could hear a lot of animals below, near the water. As the sun started to rise, he picked up his shirt and wore it, Starla was still sleeping when he stepped around her lightly careful not to wake her up and climbed down to go to the water.
He slowly walked to the water and washed his face. After drinking some of it, he walked back to the tree and climber up again. He sat down next to her and watched her sleep. He hadn't had the time to really look at Starla yet. She had a good figure and by the looks of it would have been chased after in college by a lot of guys. He was trying to decide whether to wake her up or wait. He decided, it would be better if she got a proper rest today and so didn't wake her up.

Starla continued to sleep for a short while.
When she woke she sighed and stretched out, burrying her face in her arms, before reality hit and she sat up, looking around a little confused, and then it all came back to her.

"Good morning, its safe to go down...", he had stopped staring as she saw her stir.

"all right," she nodded and started to get the sleeping bag together before tossing it down.

As she threw down the neatly packed sleeping bag, he made his way down waiting to catch the first-aid kit. He also remembered to check her sprain when she did come down. He would have to remove it and then re-tie it after she had finished cleaning up.

She grabbed whatever else was up there and tossed them down one by one before climbing down herself.

"Let me take that off... in case you wanna wash up or take a bath" he said pointing at the bandage on her hand.

"how long do you think I'll need to wear it?" she held her wrist out to him.

He carefully unwrapped the bandage. "Well, let's find out. He took hold of her hand and started moving it in a circular motion like before. Tell me if it hurts." He asked looking up at her face.

"It still hurts a little, but not horribly." she nodded, looking from her wrist up to his face.

He let go of her hand. "Hmm, I guess all the exertion is not helping. Try not to use it as much as possible. I guess we will leave the bandage on for a couple of days more as a precaution."

She simply nodded. "where do we go now?"

"Well, after you have washed up, we will follow the stream like we originally planned. I still think that would be the best place out of this forest. And you were right, I can't go on staying awake all night for long. Are you hungry?"
