Aliana took a deep breath as she looked up from her tea and up to the ceiling seeing the coast seemingly clear. She wanted to let out a sigh of relief, but kept it in since they weren't a hundred percent safe yet.

Hatta stood up, reaching to the brim of the hat.

Aliana watched him letting him go first since she didn't know how to get out herself. The outside coast was clear though it wasn't clear which way the monster went.

Hatta poked his head outside, then hauled himself the rest of the way out.

Aliana looked up and called out hoping Hatta would hear her, "Is it safe to come out?"

"Yeah. Need help?" Hatta responded.

"A little yeah," Aliana admitted calling back up to him. She couldn't remember how she got out of the hat.

Hatta reached his hand down inside. "Hold on. I'll pull you out."

"Okay," Aliana called back seeing his hand and moving towards it best she could.

Hatta kept his hand out.

Aliana grabbed his hand finally and called out, "I've got it!"

(gtg to bed now good night!)

Hatta smiled, and pulled her up.

(Night!)

Aliana helped Hatta by climbing out once she could. She gave him a grin as she stepped out sitting down next to the hat, "Thanks."

Hatta smiled back, putting the hat back on. "You're welcome." He replied with a quick smile.

Aliana looked back and forth before quietly asking, "Which way do you think it went?"

Hatta shook his head. "I don't know." He replied slowly.

Aliana thought for a moment and started to walk back the way they came, "There was a crossroad in a little ways back right? Why don't we backtrack and head a different way?"

Hatta nodded. "Alright." He agreed. He adjusted his hat, and started walking.

Aliana continued to walk along being wary of her surrounds. She wasn't sure of that the coast really was clear.

Hatta kept walking. He stayed near her, though.

Aliana arrived at the crossroad and looked out to check if everything was clear. Once she saw that there was nothing she stepped out shaking slightly in fear.

Hatta stayed beside her, keeping a careful eye for the monster.

Aliana crossed so they were going right now. She felt better once across, but was still on edge.

Hatta kept an eye out, frowning a little.

Aliana looked to Hatta before looking back to the road, "I, I think we're in the clear."

Hatta nodded. "Yeah. Hopefully." He replied. "But we uhm… should probably take watches tonight, instead of just sleeping."

"Yeah," Aliana nodded in agreement, "I can take first watch."

Hatta nodded. "Alright." He replied.

"Okay," Aliana replied back as she went back to silence. She was still shaken by what happened earlier, but at the very least she wasn't shaking physically anymore.

Hatta swallowed softly. He looked at her. "You gonna be alright?"
