[[ ooc: okay so much to process I've been unable to do so so I'll just write a quick post, sorry it's short ]] The initial part of the trek was surrounded by lots of scouting. He didn't spend much time with the others, instead it was alone or solo with the other scouts. It was a big responsibility and Kai spent most of that time on high alert. His anxiety was on high by the time he reached the caravan and he usually only spoke to Uno and Eb -- he completely avoided Kaylee, he didn't want another altercation. And he certain didn't want to cause any one else any issues on his account so he spent most of his down time trying to wrestle the ever growing anxiety by reading a book or practicing the quarterstaff lost in the void away from any and all emotions. The rain now made his temperaments worse. He could feel the ache in his joints from the anxiety pressing on him. The wet humid weather making matters all that worse. He kept his father's mantra in his head. He could do this. He was stronger than whatever came at him. It worked sorta. But it was still pressing in on him and the confined space wasn't only just getting at him, but the others too. Kai was half ready to scout the tunnels. He'd snuck off into the darkness a time or two but he never went far. Kai sat around the fire, trying to stave off the cold from the rain while he waited for whatever their next move was. They couldn't wait here forever -- but they might try if it were still too dangerous out to travel, and who knows where the tunnels went.
