After they slipped through the slim opening of the cave, Richard told her about the night that he was supposed to die. When she spoke about magic, he started to fidget. "You've seen them though right? They use these, these wands and they can do the craziest things with them. I swear, they closed me in that cave, thinking I would die there, but they didn't know there was another exit. Hell - I didn't realize it either until a day later, when I was laying on my side waiting to starve to death." Richard lead her through some shrubbery that was near a small lake. The lake had a waterfall and Hermione hated to admit that the island was quite beautiful despite its owners. She thought about her island map, remembering that there was a lake on one side. She didn't think she was that far over to one side of the island, but she supposed it was entirely possible. After Richard was convinced Hermione was of no threat, he had helped her off the ground and guided her back to his safe haven with ease. He gave her food and water, before saying that they needed to go to bed. He briefly informed her that he operated on a schedule to make sure that he got the most out of a day. The man seemed a bit barmy, but she couldn't blame him after what he had been through.
