Evangeline sat by a chair in the same room Tanner had finally woken up in. She was heavily asleep and looked worse for wear. The dark rings around her eyelids were quite evident of how hard she had tried to stay awake, waiting for a single sign of life from the man on the sick bed.

Shanks groaned as he scraped the dry crust off from his lips. He was dehydrated and tired. More than once had he believed that he would have snuffed it during their long march over the Rocky Mountains. He had only done the trek once or twice in his long lifetime, but both times he had come well-equipped and prepared. This time he had been neither, but he reckoned that the same went for the rest of his team mates.

The sight of civilization in the distance bolstered his endurance however. No doubt he would be shunned, as per usual, but knowing that Kayleigh was somewhere out there made that idea somewhat more bearable.
