WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob had no idea how the conversation seemed to devolve into some sort of chaos but he was able to at least pick out all the important bits. Well, perhaps chaos wasn't the right word for it. He was probably just a little out of it. He hadn't been getting enough sleep lately but it was hard to not resist the natural call of rest. It'd become routine after such a long time and now he only slept when absolutely necessary. He knew it wasn't safe and it made the smell of smoke grow even stronger with each day but he hadn't been able to find a way out of it. Even now, smoke invaded his nostrils and lungs, trying to warn him of a fire that was only in his mind. He did his best to ignore it but sometimes he could get preoccupied with what his own mind built up for him. It was confusing and frustrating but he still needed to focus on the present moment.
"I'll take ya' back ta' camp n' I'll get ya' patched up. Ya' shouldn' be walkin' around with somethin' like that. You'll be able ta' rest for a few days at least so I can make sure it don' get infected or anythin' like that n' then ya' can choose whether ya' wanna join for good or if ya' wanna' stay a li'l longer or whatever ya' like. Camp ain't too far from 'ere, thankfully. M' name's Jacob, by the way. 'S nice ta' meet ya' both." Jacob wasn't sure how to address the confusion about the stranger's names. He certainly didn't know his real name, but he found himself agreeing with Melantha. Then again, he'd heard some pretty strange names since leaving the city so maybe it wasn't that far off. In any case, Jacob just planned on going as long as he could without saying any name or referring to the man at all vocally. It wouldn't be a problem if he never had to make a decision. Jacob stood and began to turn in the direction of camp. "Jus' follow me if ya' wanna' head back righ' now. I was meanin' ta' head back soon anyway." His legs had been bothering him long before he reached the strangers and learned he'd have to be back at camp soon anyway. Besides, this gave him an excuse to cut things a little shorter than usual. If he'd gone interrupted, he might have pushed himself further but he was thankful for the idea of an early break. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
