[That she can tell so much with so little is not only surprising but amazing, as well. That she doesn't make him any more questions or tries to stop him is even better.
He is thankful, for that.
Thankful that she even goes as far as suggesting that he scouts ahead, rather than just running around. He might venture a little, but really, he isn't going to get very far at all and always try to circle rather than just going in one direction. He wants to make sure everyone will be safe, at camp.]
I--... [He wants to say, but trails off. He won't be long? He doesn't know if that would be true. So he ends up just nodding.] I'll yell if I see anything. [And run back like a madman, too, if that was the case. Hopefully not, though. It seems to be a pretty quiet night.
At her last words, he nods again.]
I always do. [And there's a small smile in there. Sad, but still. He meets her eyes once more.] Thanks.
