That was a suggestion she could root for, wrapping up the bread once she finished the sausage (leaving about a third of her loaf left), and putting it in her pack once again. The young dragon spoke quietly in response to his offer of more sleep.. and to the idea of continuing on foot, "Sleep sounds like the only choice," She gave a tiny laugh, "And if you butter me up enough, I might just give you a ride," A little sleep-slurred and much quieter came the second remark. Aurum removed herself from him only to return to laying on the cot, this time on the opposite side to give the one she slept on a break. Even if she didn't sleep, her morning routine was something similar to this. The young dragon would wake, eat, and then relax until she felt the need to get up or got bugged enough by the staff of her home.

After a while of this, until the sun might have suggested almost mid-morning, the girl gave a quiet little yawn and stopped fiddling with Kael's hair, instead stretching her short limbs and giving a low groan. She sat up slowly and leaned on her companion's back for a moment as she rubbed her eyes, but stopped once she was finished and stood up just as slowly as she sat up. Aurum stretched upwards, not talking for a few moments after she woke up. When she did, she turned to look down to Kael, "Using my better judgement with the sounds of it today," She said with a little scrunch of her nose, talking about how the battlecries in the far distance were much louder than the night before, "Perhaps we should not fly just yet."

Brows furrowed, Aurum frowned a little. "I prefer having an arrow-free body is all," Said the dragon with a little hint of attitude. Perhaps he couldn't hear the war the way she heard it, or maybe he couldn't hear it at all, but her long ears almost tingled at every distant roar she heard. Raining fire down on soldiers, taking many lives even if falling in battle. The large beasts were fighting and the dragon seemed to lose herself in the sounds of it for quite a few minutes before she blinked and came back, her look focusing as she spoke again, "And besides, letting me sleep isn't exactly buttering me up, is it Johnny?" She stuck out her tongue at him and then grabbed her pack, cracking her neck as she waited for him to lead the way. He was the one with the map, after all.

"There are a lot of things I might risk for a trinket and a fun time but my guts aren't one of them," Commented Aurum, giving a little roll of her eyes as he talked more. She walked a little behind him, following with a huff through her nose. "Warmed me up, maybe," She gave a little laugh, but her eyes seemed a little distanced still, as if she was still focusing on something very far away. The little dragoness was not nearly as close to him as she had been in the night before or even during the morning, but her mind wandered to him as they walked and as she listened to the battles. Similar to his earlier thoughts, she too wondered what might have been different between the two had there not been a war going on.. perhaps it would not matter in the end, and they would still be right here, searching for elven pages through the beasts' land. Oddly enough, she was almost looking forward to his banter for the day.

Once to the top of the hill, Aurum watched the battle on her own. Sure, the figures were small, and she could not make the details.. but those were definitely dragons and the others were definitely ground soldiers, of what race she could not tell, but they were falling far more often than they were rising again. The young dragon's eyes narrowed and she looked around for the town very suddenly and touched Kael's hand gently, "We should go," Said Aurum, releasing him and moving down the hill. The sights and sounds only made her think of how she might have been out there, or how they had always been out there, or how she felt they might never stop. After walking some, Aurum realized her pace had been much faster than any of her previous. Maybe to get away from the sights of it, she wasn't sure, but she was quite a bit ahead of Kael now and stopped to wait for him.

"Alright goody-two-shoes, what's your suggestion?" Came a snip, the girl a little hasty with her response and with her pace. Whoever they were, there were about four more of them and the human didn't want to take the easiest way out - wait. Aurum groaned a little and pinched the bridge of her nose as she kept walking. "We could get a very good jump from them if I fly, I think," She gave a sort of heavy sigh, "But look, I've never had a rider, it's just not something we do anymore," There was a frown on her face now, brows furrowing again. The dragoness glanced behind them and then ahead, then sighed again, "And if you tell anyone I will kill you, understood?"
