171 Doubt

The group "unpacked" their things and allowed their aching bodies to slow down. While Thomas had pulled out almost everything in his spatial ring- paper, ink containers, clothes, etc. - Doevm had only pulled out a giant spool of string, walked to the many thick trees outlining the camp, and began to tie the string around each tree at ankle height. He moved plants and dead leaves on top of it, making sure to keep it as disguised as possible.

"What are you doing?" Thomas asked more out of boredom than interest. He sat down near the center of camp and hugged against his knees.

"I am lining the camp," Doevm responded. "If anyone tries to come in, even if they are on an Amphiboard, they will hit the string. It is not the best alarm system, but it is quick to set up. The person on watch duty will have to watch it and the surroundings."
