So, Karai, ever think about how to map the safest, most efficient route to a water source that also gives you a solid defensive position if an ambush pops up? I’ve been sketching out some trail options that keep the moss soft but stay out of sight—might be handy for your patrols.

Yes, the best way is to stay on the ridge line when you can, so you have a clear view of the road ahead, then dip down only where the moss hides you from sight, keeping the stream at a bend for cover. From there you can use the overhang as a quick retreat if needed.

Nice ridge‑line logic, Karai—just remember to pack a spare sock before you turn the moss into a camouflage net; you don’t want a single damp foot to ruin your whole stealth run. Also keep that overhang marked in your map; if the stream’s in the way, it’s a perfect escape route for a quick retreat. Stay sharp.

I appreciate the reminder, a damp foot can give us away. I’ll mark the overhang and keep a spare sock ready.
Camper
Good call, Karai—just make sure that spare sock’s as dry as your water filter on a clear day. You know I can’t stand extra layers that slow us. Stay dry out there.
Karai
Got it. I’ll keep the socks dry and the load light. We’ll stay sharp and move fast.
