Gabriel looked at Errol and then at Hiro, after each proposed to take the first turn. Neither was to be trusted, to be honest. But Errol was a mage. Not everyone could actually become a mage. Most people needed a brain to be one. If only for that possibility, he trusted Errol more.
"Errol should take the first watch. We don't know how skilled you are, Hiro, and to be honest, I'm not risking being killed only because of how good or bad you fight. No offense." Gabriel said. He wasn't sure if that was the best choice, but regardless, he had decided to stay awake anyway.
He then proceeded to reject Jya's herbs. He was never too fond of herbal medicines. Besides, he had only recently eaten almost half a bunny. Gabriel just sat there by the fire, and stared at the sparks coming out of it. This would be a long, long night.

Errol nodded to show he had heard, then sat down facing away from the fire. He briefly turned aside to look at Hiro, who was probably going to be taking the next shift (whether Errol wanted him to or not). Maybe then he would be able to get some answers.
In the meantime, he bit at some of Jya's herb and stared out into the darkness...

Digging into his small pouch Hiro took out some of his jerky. "Na I came prepared, and I need something meaty. But thank you so kindly young lady for the offer." Hiro noticed the fat one had wondered off, the little boy sided with the other one, and one sat at the fire watching it. Then the other looked at it then at him. Hiro only hoped the kid was as smart as he looks, Kraft's men may kill him to get to Hiro to find out what's going on.
His gaze made it's way to Jya. 'Either she's not going to be interested in me or is just that ignorant. I should just wait till the morning to see what they're plans are, hopefully they plan on traveling in the same general direction as I am so this trip isn't lonely.' He was checking on the same bite of jerky for a little bit before speaking again. "Soooo... I've got no bedding what so ever, would I be able to share or borrow somebody's?" He looked at the others.

Gabriel mumbled in a semi-sleepy voice, trying to answer Hiro's question. He might have been planning not to fall asleep, but his body seemed to think otherwise. He got no straight answer from Hiro right after what he said, so Gabriel assumed that what he had said probably came off worse than he though. He shook his head and cleared his throat, and answered yet again.
"Sorry for that. Either way, I don't think any of us is much better off than you. All I have is this green cloth to cover myself during the night" he said, much clearer this time. He probably slurred some words again, but at least it was understandable now. The piece of fabric he carried was always attached to his chest, going over his shoulder and behind his back, ending right after Gabriel's hips. It was something one of the maids at home had sewn for him. For some reason, he had taken a mild liking to the woman, and carried the cloth with him wherever he went.

"Alright, just tell me when it'll be my turn or something," Jya announced.
She casually plopped herself close to the fire before taking up a few zzzs. It wasn't that she completely trusted these people around, it appeared to be more close to the fact that she was just plain tired. Killing people is really hard work, than again, so is keeping herself alive. Taking hold of a vial in the pouch, she proceeded to drink the rest of that medicine and get it over with. Soon after though, she found herself pretty much knocked out, asleep.

Papilion had no idea what he should do with his horse so he just let him meander around. He wondered if he should bed down soon. He wasn't tired yet and he definitely was staying away from all those shady people.
He found some nice dirt and layed down in it. He felt something move underneath him. Actually he felt many things move underneath him. Getting up quickly he screamed quite loudly and saw the ants. He hated insects.
"Crap, hope no one heard the scream." but he knew it was too loud not to be heard.

Errol heard the scream and turned to face the directon it had come from, but somehow doubted it was anything serious. He mostly felt this way because he was certain he'd heard that voice before, which meant it was Papillion; and he was relatively sure that he was one person who didn't need looking after.

Gabriel had already "gone to sleep". He heard the scream, and recognized it as Papilion's. It was quite curious. How could one so big and fearsome looking could have a voice as high pitched as his?
Hopefully he's okay. Gabriel thought. He could do nothing to help Papilion, and he would do nothing either, even if he could. He could not really trust anyone in the group. Not more than he could trust his own father now. And he had to keep his cover. He didn't want anyone noticing that he was awake. He needed to know who he could trust. Should anyone attempt anything, Gabriel had made sure to keep his tome under his arm. All he had to do was roll to his side and cast away. Hopefully, it'd work. And even if it didn't, it'd give him enough time to react to anything else.
OoC: Sorry for taking liberties, Pap. I thought a high pitched voice would fit Papilion's persona. If you want me to change that just tell me.

{Sorry for not posting for a while, but the only action I have to take means a significant amount of time has passed; but since Papillion isn't going to post either...}
Errol was sure that an hour or so had passed since he began his watch, and aside from Papillion's scream, it had been eerily quiet. Still, the changing of the guard would be a prime opportunity to find out more about the other travellers. Especially...
Errol walked over to Hiro's prone form and nudged him awake (...assuming he was sleeping to begin with) with his foot.

Papilion was beginning to lose his mind. He had a fear of falling asleep because of bandits and bugs but was in a state of sleepwalking. He couldn't think very clearly but decided he should just give it up and go back to camp. He had trouble finding it because it was very dark but stumbled back without hitting anything.
He saw his horse had settled down at camp awhile ago and was sleeping really close to Jya because of her herbs. Other than that he couldn't see anything else.
"It's just me!" Papilion tried to say but it came out as mumbling. Taking a step he didn't notice Gabriel sleeping in front of him and tripped over him. Landing on some rocks he screamed for the second time that night.
O.O.C. I wonder if your characters are getting fed up with Papilion.

Gabriel saw the inevitable. Papilion was coming straight towards him. And yet, he couldn't move. He had to keep the plan going. As foreseen, the big man tripped over, and fell JUST past him, only hitting Gabriel's chest with his legs. He had to react now. He would react, regardless of the plan. The pain on his chest was too much, and anyone would simply wake up due to something like that. The scream only made things easier.
"Ugh" he managed to spurt out, trying to get Papilion's legs out of the way while he sat up. He took the chance to check things all around the camp. Jya and Papilion's horse were not far from him, and Errol was over to his left, kicking Hiro awake.
Well, he won't have to kick him anymore now. Damned brute...

Boobs, lots and lots of boobs. That's all Hiro was dreaming about when he felt a sharp pain in his side as he as rolled as Errol was nudging him into a rock. Slowly opening his eyes he sat up. "Son of a- What's going on, my shift now." Hiro's eyes scanned the area to make sure everything was safe.

As Errol was trying to wake Hiro up, he heard a loud thud, followed by a high pitched scream (that could only have been Papillion's) and an "ugh" of pain and breathlessness from Gabriel. Turning around to see, Errol determined that neither of them was seriously hurt, but the fact that it had happened did not reflect well on his watch. 'Tch. That was careless of me. Blast it Papillion, you picked just the right moment to ruin my chance to question Hiro... at least for now.'
Hiro, meanwhile had woken up and asked him about what had happened and if it was his shift. Errol turned back to facing Hiro, "Short answer, yes, but it seems the change hasn't gone smoothly." Errol responded, figuring that with the way Hiro was looking around, he'd quickly figure things out.

Hearing what sounded like a tree falling again Hiro saw the blob nearly fall on the other kid. "That's why you don't have a kid do a man's job." Standing up Hiro stretched then looked towards where Jya had been sleeping to make sure she didn't look harmed in any way. Still sleeping, like a pretty little angel. "What are you doing, help the other kid."

Papilion's legs were too heavy for Gabriel to even budge. He was trained in the arts of magic, not strength.
"Can...barely...breathe..." he tried to say, but only managed to spill out a mess of words.
He resorted to creating a small flame, so as to make Papilion move on his own will. But his power had run out for the day. Probably out there somewhere, eating a sandwich or something. It was pathetic to look at, but Gabriel couldn't even materialize small sparks now.
"Someone...please" he tried again, to no avail. If anyone had heard that, it would have probably come out as a single growl.
