Asleep, but alert. F.B.'s mind and ears followed the woman about the cave while his eyes and body rested. He doubted she'd be able to kill him even if he was fully asleep, but when you live outside the walls you can never truly afford to go fully asleep. The sandstorm raged on for many hours outside their little shelter. Been many a long year since he's witnessed such a relentless storm. Most sandstorms out in Nyx last a few hours at most, but this one has been going on for a day and half by his reckoning.
A paranoid part of his mind would say there is more to this storm than just a storm. Maybe the Beacon and Darklighter Church are working on concert to deter this annoying woman on her quest? As much as she spoke of wishing to bring trade and peace to the people of the night, he doubted all her superiors fell the same way. Politics are politics no matter where you live. Still he would keep his mouth shut for now, the truth will come out eventually.
When Blue Night arrived and the woman stirred to get ready for the day the man watched her through half-lidded eyes. Studying her movements and face twitches she was a restless one of this he was sure. As she addressed him he opened his eyes and smiled standing to his full height stretching tall listening to all his joints pop and click. "Was just waiting on you." He chuckled before strapping on his sword and shield followed by his back before he walked briskly from the cave.
