But he supposed it didn't really mayter. Johannes' business was his own, and gabe wasn't one to go sticking his nose where it didn't belong, so he kept quiet about the why, instead skipping to the how. "how long will we be gone for?" he inquired, already having an idea but not being one to assume. He'd made the trek in what seemed like a few hours, though it had been nighttime and he'd been exhausted, so it very well could have actually been much, much longer or much, much shorter. He really couldn't tell. That was another reason he'd like to make the trip to the base of the mountain--to see how long it took, and subsequently how good of an escape route it would make in case he ever needed to quickly make himself scarce.
