After they got home, Abby instantly went to her cabin. How could she not, being that she had animals to take care of?
She was in her barn, milking Gwen, the cow when she thought she heard someone enter. Given that she lived alone, it surprised her. She stopped milking Gwen for a second.
"Hello?" She called out.

When they got to the new encamptment Damion realized that he didn't really have any where to go. The inn hadn't been made yet they were still focusing on housing the people who had come. Granted they probably wouldn't have an inn considering. So he went to Abby's after a while so she could sort things out.
"Abby?" he called out when he got to her house.

She realized it was Damion.
"In here." She said. He came into the barn. She finished up, wiped her hands on her gray dress that she had changed into so that she could work easier.
"What can I do for you?" She said.

"Umm.. Can I crash on your couch tonight? I don't really have a place to stay yet." Damion said. He felt nervous after what happened in the forest they were still kinda awkward around each other.

"Umm...yeah. If you can find it. I'm afraid I'm not very unpacked yet. I know where I have the extra beddings, so should the couch be uncovered, it's yours." She said. "Feel free to crash as long as you like. Dinner's at 6."
She went in to start, since they had gotten back so late in the afternoon. She didn't know what he did after she had told him he could crash here, but at six, he was sitting at the cluttered table, ready for dinner.
"Tonight we are having potatoes and the last of the beef. I"m going to have to ask Rebecca's husband Yosef if he can slaughter one of my beef cattle. It should last a few months, if I ration it right." She said, setting the plates. "I've got my own little farm here, and I"m starting up my herb garden again."

Damion had spent the day catching up with people and sorting out some stuff plus having a doctor check the wound Jay gave him as well as the one he got in the battle. He couldn't fight again most likely. But he got back at 6.
"It's nice. Cozy even."

Abby blushed.
"Thanks. It's not much, and it's not home yet, but it will be. Have you got a place being set up for you yet? It'll take awhile, but they should have your home up soon, if you put a claim in early enough." She sat down. "You did put a claim down, right?"

Damion coughed. He was too worried about what the doctor said to really remember much else. He hadn't put down a claim. He also didn't want Abby to know that. He could put it in tomorrow and stay over at Peter's instead. "Yeah I did."

"Really? Which one of the surveyors did you talk to?" Abby said. "Where is the claim? You'll need some food, so when it's set up, I'll bring some over."
She sat eating, when she remembered something.
"Oh, Damion, did you talk to Peter today? I talked to his sister, she stopped by. Apparently he got hurt earlier trying to build a porch for his house. He has to stay at his mother's house for the next few weeks." Abby said.

'DAMMIT' Damion thought. "Really? Poor Peter.. It is going to heal right." Okay think of a way around this. 'I can still go out tomorrow the doctor wants to see me anyway. Thats another thing i should probably keep from Abby. Dammit i'm now trying to keep secrets from her? Oh well what am i turning into? But i can make claim tomorrow and tell her that there were a few gliches in the work. Damion thought. He didn't like lieing but he didn't want to know what Abby would say if he told her the truth. 'If i really love her why the hell am I lieing to her?'

"You should be glad you made the claim early. They've only got a few more left, and with so many people who didn't make one, Sophie, one of the surveyor's wives, said that they were going to run out of claims by 8 AM tomorrow." Abby said. Being a woman, she knew all the gossip and everything in the village. It was a small town, and everyone knew everything.

"Yeah it is a really good thing." Damion said. 'Okay, this could be bad. Would she notice if he just left?' It wouldn't be the first time he just disappeared. He did it before. He had what he needed. Granted he was in really good shape and wasn't sick then. He could try. Food he could get along the way. Leave a note and just dissapper.

"And of course, you're only going to be lucky though if you don't get a spot super close the edge of the woods. Wild bears live around here and they eat everything and everyone that comes their way. And don't get me started on the wolves and cougars in the area. I know that I shouldn't complain or anything, but the surveryors of the group picked the one place where all of the animals are maneaters." Abigail said. "And that means no one can leave the settlement unless they know how to get through the forest safely. And only Jaysn knows that."

'Wow back in corner.' "Uh sorry Abby but can I be excused?" Damion said. There might be a lot of bears and what have you but still walks through the settled areas shouldn't be too bad.

"Yeah, sure. I've got to take some stuff to Sophie anyway. Her boy is sick." Abby said, getting up and going into the kitchen to make a basket for her friend. "Where ya going anyway? I can probably go with you."
