Vanelee had fallen asleep one or two hours before sunrise, and had waken with a start as soon as the sky over top the mountains began to glow with the rising sun.
Kicking himself for falling into such a deep sleep, Vanelee sat up and looked around. Everything appeared to be fine, all of his companions were still asleep. Matt had fallen asleep leaning his back against the tree, Dreggan was in a smiliar position, but was some 8 feet up the tree on a branch, and Nina was still lying on the ground, but the cloak that Vanelee had laid over her had been cast off to the side. Had she woken up in the night?
Seeing all was well, Vanelee thought he'd gather some fruit for his companions and he, to make their departure that much quicker. Gathering his sleeping mat, Vanelee returned it to its place under his cloak. He then headed off into the woods where he had seen some berry bushes before the battle commenced.
As he entered the woods though, Vanelee took one more look back at the camp, his gaze falling upon Nina. Her face seemed to glow as it was illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Vanelee was awestruck for a moment, for he had never realized just how beautiful the young miss was.
However, he quickly snapped himself back into focus, shaking his head to break his staring gaze.
'Breakfast' he thought ' I am going to get fruit for breakfast....'
