Howard didn't move to wake him up as he slept, he even rested a little himself, though kept himself on high alert for anyone coming up their part of the road. He kept everyone as warm as possible even though at the bottom of the mountain things were warmer, his eyes opened partially when he heard Aden,"I'm here."he replied, his arms were hooked through the straps of the backpack and he rose an eyebrow at the laugher,"What? My arms got tired, plus she squirms less this way."he smiled softly at the human and folded his legs as he pushed himself upright again,"Are you ready now?"he asked, watching him as he awoke fully.
