As Chiaotzu helped William remove his armor the knight kept an eye on the girl. Like the others, he felt like they were being watched. But unlike the others he knew the evil eye that was monitoring him belonged to this demon in the guise of a little girl.

when he was finished removing his armor he knelt down in front of his Squire and patted him on the shoulder. "You may forgo polishing my armor tonight, i will take care of my own sword as well. You prepare some of the salted pork and dried fruit for all of us. Might as well break out some of the pemmican too. Eat up and then get a good nights rest."

Chiaotzu nodded. "Yes sir" he said meekly before going to the pack horse and getting out the food to bring to the fire.

William took his sword and slung it by it's sheath around his shoulders so it hung at his back, then went to check the perimeter for tracks. If they could get some game tonight it would go well to replenishing William's supplies.

An hour later he was disappointed to find that pickings were slim. A few snake tracks littered the rough terrain but he didn't find any. They were most active during the day. Nevertheless, he set some traps. He grabbed a few hot rocks from the fire using his gauntlet and set them up a few dozen yards away from the camp. hopefully in the morning he'd find a snake or two around them, sleeping against the warmth.

He returned to the camp and laid out his blanket and feather pillow. He did not go right to sleep however, he spent a few minutes sharpening his sword and making sure it had a full coat of oil on it before sheathing it placing it next to him.

He laid back on his pillow and pulled out his pipe. He didn't light it, just kept it in his mouth. Something to chew on
