Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Nameless took down the dried roasted meat, wrapped it in the oil paper that had previously held their rations, and continued on their journey.
Although their destination was already close at hand, everyone remained steady as old dogs. No one was in a hurry; instead, they moved at an unhurried pace and even deliberately slowed down.
