For whatever it's worth - and after a few days in one another's unremitting company, with Wysteria's ceaseless chatter cedeing into a propensity for bickering, it probably isn't worth much -, she does as she's told: holds that bough high in place with her arms over her head as Luana goes scrambling up the tree even though she doesn't see the point. They have plenty of things to cover themselves with. The problem is making anything out of them. At this rate, Luana will fall out of the tree and do some fool thing to set them even farther back like break a leg or something equally horrendeous and annoying.

At that thought, Wysteria watches as Luana drops from the tree. Her heart leaps into her throat accompanied with a wild flash of regret - what a horrible curse to wish on someone! --That dies the moment she realizes her companion isn't falling at all. Not on accident anyway.

The tree comes slowly, inevitably downward. And any pleasure Wysteria might have found in the prospect of simply crawling into a shelter instead of constructing one, is traded in favor of-- "You could have warned me! Next time you're going to bring a tree down about my head, at least give me the benefit of telling me beforehand!"

Also she was sick with worry for a split second there. But that's neither here nor there, thank you very much.

Luana breathes through her nose, huffs. She eyes Wysteria for a moment before she speaks. "Are you going to hit me?" she asks, but then she's grinning, laughing. Holy Jesus, she was worried. Luana crawls into the space made by the dense leaves, and stretches out on the ground. It's warm here, buffered away from the wind and the chill, even with the ground being cold.

She grins up at Wysteria. "You can't complain too much. Even the mule from Hell can't complain too much." Oh, but how Luana hates that mule.

"I might." She certainly could. There is literally nothing to stop her, save maybe for her own faint sense of dignity.

With a grumble, Wysteria fetches her traveling case from where its set high on a nearby rock. From it she draws what is now a very familiar and not entirely clean blanket no doubt brought with her from her room in the Gallows. She shakes it out and passes it through the branches to Luana.

"Spread that out on the ground."

She grins a little, but takes the blanket, obedient as ever, and spreads it on the ground, moving to sit on it. It's not clean, but it's warm and dry from being carried in Wysteria's pack for so long. Combined with the warmth and pine-y smell of the little spot, it makes it almost nice here.

She looks at Wysteria for a moment. "I can shift before you sleep. I'll be warmer to sleep against," she clarifies, but she knows that the smell can be a little overpowering. "And I'll go make a perimeter."

[heirring]

"You'll go make a--" Oh.

She fights down the effort to wrinkle her nose. Yes, well. Fine. If it keeps the other animals of the wilderness at bay, then she doesn't see the harm in it. What she does see some harm in, however--

"I don't suppose you could find something to eat while you're out, could you? We're running low." On the dried fruit, salted pork and crackers she'd brought along. Spirits, she really hadn't anticipated this delay. They were meant to be with the Inquisition by now, sharing in whatever meals were being prepared around a fire far bigger and more comfortable than the one flickering away in their little camp here.
