[ Then Sephiroth feels more or less the same as Steve does. It does fill him with some more curiosity about the man's background beyond him being another military man, but now isn't the time to get into a long discussion about that. Maybe when they've made camp.
They do have advantages they can try to leverage, though, it's true. Their connection to the Singularity and the Horizon have to be good for something.
He's also keeping an eye on how things are going with the injured traveler, but everything seems to have gone off without a hitch. As soon as it looks like the man will be heading off on his own way, Steve also mounts up again. From there, they continue on into the forest, forced to stop and make camp at a clearing in the woods shortly after night falls. The soldiers traveling with them seem accustomed to this sort of work and are quick to cook up dinner over a bonfire and also set up watches for the night.
Steve organizes his own watches with Sephiroth. As far as he's concerned, they can't be too careful, and he's capable of functioning on limited sleep.
At dawn they set out once more, making it through the woods and then to the Solvunn border. Surreal as it feels to be on the edge of one of the other factions, there isn't much to see beyond the border barrier and small outpost other than fields stretching out far into the distance.
As promised, there's a group of people awaiting them, dressed modestly but ready with crates upon crates packed with supplies. Sephiroth and Steve are made to wait as the soldiers take on the task of checking the crates to ensure that everything that was promised is there and that there's no foul play. Once that's confirmed, the pair is asked to help with loading everything up into the wagons. ]
Moving boxes around again, huh...
