Viola allowed her shoulders to relax, feeling the tears dripping from her eyes subside. With a sniffle, she wiped at her face with the corner of her shirt. "Definitely. We just need to stick together. Th-thanks, Moby. For everything."

"Of course," he told her, smiling gently. "We can make it through anything, I think." Moby could've sat there like that with her forever, probably. She was warm, and it had started to rain in the time that it had taken him to tell his story. Moby couldn't quite remember the last time he'd really been warm like this.

Viola shied away from the edge of the lean-to, where the water dripped, nudging even closer to Moby. She could feel the chill on the side of her body not against him, grateful that the other half of her was in a softer, warmer, drier place.

Moby let out a sigh of content, pulling Viola towards him so that he could hug and surround her to keep her warm too. He closed his eyes, resting his head on hers. Sitting like this calmed him down considerably, somehow reassuring him that he could be completely safe for now, at least.

Viola sighed, her last few thoughts before settling to sleep comfortable and soft. I wish it could always be like this. "Goodnight," she whispered.

"Night," he murmured back sleepily, forgetting completely about robbers or murderers or even about having to go into the town the next morning. "Sleep tight..."

"Don't let the bedbugs... whatever it is," she mumbled, closing her eyes.

Moby smiled, slumping against the smooth bark of the tree. Eventually, he could feel himself and Viola sliding down the trunk, gravity pulling them to the forest floor. At that point, however, Moby didn't really care. He let the nighttime sounds lull him to sleep, aided by the feeling of Viola's heartbeat and the soft rising and falling of her chest.

Hours later, the twittering of bird call woke Viola. Her eyes fluttered open, head pounding as she slowly raised herself to a vertical position. She had slept with her head across Moby's chest, and the two of them were on their backs in the forest floor. Their lean-to seemed to have been blown away.

Moby blinked awake, disturbed by Viola's movement. Upon remembering how they'd fallen asleep, he cleared his throat and propped himself up on his elbows, glancing away for a moment. "Hey... Good morning," Moby said eventually, voice hoarse.

"Hm?" She turned around from stretching her neck, eyebrows raising. It was a position she was only too used to waking up in, so her body was used to it, but a few stretches never hurt anyone. "Oh, look. You're up. You ready to head into town today?"

"Oh... Um, yeah, I guess so." Moby brought himself to a sitting position, pushing his glasses up. "We might want to hurry though. It looks like we overslept a little."

"More than a little. It's almost noon," she sighed, pointing at the sky. "D'you have your backpack with the berries?"

"I do," he confirmed. "Thankfully, it was under the lean-to with us. Otherwise we'd have nothing but mush to trade." Moby stood now, picking up the bag and extending a hand towards Viola.

Viola took it, standing gracefully and smoothing grass out of her hair. "I had the weirdest dream. Something about... cars falling out of the sky? It was bizarre."

"Strange..." he mumbled. "I don't quite remember, but I could've sworn I dreamt about Thanksgiving. I think you might've been in it..." Moby fell into a thoughtful silence, eyes glazing over. He soon jerked back to reality, however. "Well, anyway, we'd better get going."

"Yeah. No sense dwelling on dreams." Viola brushed off her pants before picking up her own pack of medical supplies. "We can offer them my services in exchange for supplies as well. Maybe they have some left in their homes that I can work with. Maybe there's even an old clinic we can raid."

"Let's hope so, since we don't have much in the way of trade items or supplies for ourselves." Moby began the walk towards the fence that marked to border of the town, pushing through tree branches and brambles. Every once in a while, he would glance back to make sure Viola was still following him.

"I'm here, I'm here," she laughed around the fifth glance. "I'm not going to run away anytime soon, Moby. Why do you think so?"

"What?" He seemed to have not noticed what he'd been doing. "Oh, I uh..." Moby trailed off, unable to provide any sort of explanation, and was left to stare ahead awkwardly.
