I don't mean to be alarmist, except that stepping outside in the dark terrifies me completely but it's worth taking extra caution.

*shakes his head* Just alertness to keep around yourself, and don't tarry out there too long. *kisses her cheek and goes off to get fresh towels and more bedding for the guest rooms*
