The walk back along the lonely road was not quite as lonely as it had been in the past, a fact that Anders regretted.

Stopping in his shack to swap out gear and give the dogs a few minutes to relax, he considers staying behind as the rest of his friends continued on to the town. With tea in the near future, courtesy of Bells, he takes the time to adjust his new boots. Fashionable, yes. Comfortable, not yet. As the woman asks about food for the dogs, he pops out of the shack to a protected box where he stored excess food, left in a frozen state. He tosses some elk meat out for them to enjoy, but notes how pitifully empty his box is at the moment.
