"Let's stop here." Ren Cai nudged Hong Zhao.
"For the last time, no." Hong Zhao rolled his eyes for the tenth time within the last five minutes.
Ren Cai looked longingly at the village they were approaching. "Why not?" She grumbled. "It's been a week of sleeping outside and eating travel rations. We need a hot bath, you more than me." She waved her hand in front of her nose as if to prove a point.
"We are not stopping." Hong Zhao said simply, yet his eyes looked over the small village. He had to admit, a hot bath would be nice. He was starting to remind himself of the child in panther hide he had been when he first came to this world. "We still have a long way to go."
"And we'll still have a long way to go when we stop an hour from now to make camp." Ren Cai complained like the ten year old she was supposed to be. "Why not make it one hour earlier and have beds tonight?"
