Ben + Andrew
It was dark by the time he made it back to the dragon camp, and he was exhausted from all the...he wasn't going to call them good-byes. He just wasn't going to go there. He couldn't, not if he wanted to stay sane and be able to focus tomorrow.
No good-byes, wasn't that what his father had said when Ben left to come down here? He could have stayed at the castle tonight, he didn't think anyone would have minded, but for some reason he wanted to be here. With the men who had become like a family to him over the last months.
It was quiet when he got back to his tent, only Andrew around. "Hey," he said quietly, dropping down on the couch next to him. "Decided to come back here too?" He knew Andrew's mother and brother were up at the castle, but maybe Andrew felt like he did. Their place was down here, at least one more night, with the dragons close by.
