For just an extra moment Kaine remained. There was something easy about listening to Alain sleep (also, if she shared that idea with anyone but Nariko, well, Kaine would just sound insane, wouldn't she?) but she stood and left him to his unconscious state before she fell asleep right along with him. A few steps and a door closed behind her and she was back in her pale, halfheartedly decorated room.
She didn't pause to look at anything, only assessed that nothing else was inside, that neither Nariko or Roland had invaded her space, and went to her closet. The blanket was shed for her comfortable running pants (they said 'yo-ga' on the rear but Kaine didn't know what the hell that could even mean, or why you would put words on your own ass). The heart sweater Nariko had knitted for her years ago went on over Bert's shirt, and after that, well, there was nothing to do but find the man himself.
Even with the mountains that curved around her home and land, protecting her from the rest of the world, there was still an acre of land to consider. Most of it was taken up by the animal pens and their little grazing spots, but the back end had been turned into a makeshift practice range for Nariko long ago. Slightly off to one side of that was the little path up into the mountains that went to the garden.
Kaine considered all of these places while she headed down the steps and back outside because she really didn't want to think that Bert had gone beyond the gates. If he'd been that stupid he wouldn't need to throw a punch first she might just punch him herself.
