I"ll scout for him, hunt for him, try to make sure he doesn't walk into an ambush and I'll shoot anyone trying to attack him. Like I do for the rest. But I can't do all those things while looking after good ol' Jake here. And I don't plan to carry all my stuff on my back and leaving poor ol' Jake here. I'll miss the intelligent conversations, for starters. So, for now, he'll take care of the mule, try to gather some firewood whilst we travel, make sure we get fresh water, help put up the tents at the evening, clean whatever it is I hunt down, and if he still has some strength left I'll train him in using a bow and I'll lend him my shortsword so that Oliver can teach him a trick or two. I suspect that you, Shavah and Hiritus might have something to say about morality and filosofy whilst we're underway, and Nurthk can tell him what's edible and what's poisonous. And if he falls asleep dead tired and wakes sore as hell every day, and still wants to go on, we might make something out of him yet."He smiles a wicked grin at the boy. "This ain't no camping trip, son. Remember, you wanted to join us. If you think you're up to it, come. If not, stay, and I'll find someone else to hold onto Jake while I go scouting."</blockquote>
