Lonnie looked over the list and nodded to him saying "Let's go."

Eli nodded," Ready?" He asked her before wandering off towards the town," Neither of us have our license."

"I know, the market isn't that far though." She said, catching up to him.

Eli nodded," Alrighty, wanna jog? I won't race you but I need the excersizes and I don't want to run alone." He asked her.

"Sure." She said as she started to get faster until she broke into a jog.

He sped up only slightly faster than her for a moment than he slowed down to be able to stay with her." So, how you holding up." He asked between measured, controlled breaths.

"What do you mean?" Lonnie asked confused.

" Well, we found out that our caretakers, which have been our parents for the past several years, are plotting to murder us. And I wanted to know how well this pace is, we can slow down if you want."

Lonnie shrugged looking at her best friend. "I don't know...it-" She took a breath "It's just a lot...to know that I could've had a normal life, but on the other hand I never would've met you if my life had been normal..."

Eli nodded," Yeah, it is quite a bit of weight on ones shoulders eh?" He asked her as he hopped over a grate.

"Yeah...What about you? How are you handling this whole thing?" She asked him.

Eli rolled his neck, stretching." Oh, I dunno.Havnt really given it any thought. I suppose I havent really given meself any time to think on it. I tried to keep myself busy so as not to think on anything. That's what I do a lot of the time. Dunno. " He said,beginning to settle into a rhythm that he could maintain while speaking.

Lonnie gave him a look "Eli, please. I know you better than that, you overthink almost everything."

Eli shot her a quick accusatory glare," I do not over think anything. Ever. I always go with short and sweet."He nodded to himself," Always." He looked up," Hey! There's the town! We're almost there." He told her encouragingly.

Lonnie let the topic go, he was to stubborn.

He held out his hand for the list," If we both go separate directions and grab the stuff it'll be quicker and then when we take extra time to buy the poison and tents it won't seem like we did because we'll have done the first part quicker." He said," I'll memorize the top part if you keep the list and grab the bottom."

Lonnie froze as if something was wrong "Wait...how are we gonna hide the tents? The potion is easy but tents?" Lonnie hadn't realized the problem before.

Eli's brow furrowed," Well, I don't know yet, but I'm sure that by the time we're done buying other things we'll have... Oh!" He exclaimed as an epiphany hit him," We could take the tents right up in the woods and set them up there."

"Good idea!" Lonnie said. "And, instead of memorizing the list..." She grabbed the paper from Eli and ripped it in half, giving the top part to Eli. "Meet back here in half an hour."

Eli nodded," That makes sense, Thanks" He told her speeding in front of her and turning around the corner to go find a vendor that would sell the things he needed to buy for the caretakers.
