"You ate a kagouti?" Ariel said, sounding a contrived surprise tone to try and mitigate her uneasiness, "That would explain the blood." She attempted a smile and laughed nervously. Perhaps she didn't see the jest behind Janius' previous words.

Fendros seated himself beside Ahnasha by the fire. As soon as he sat down, he breathed out a long, relaxed breath through his nose and his eyes began to droop. He hadn't felt this tired since the first time Lorag dedicated a day to 'intensive' training with Fendros. Well, technically back then he felt like throwing up after that day. Tonight was more settled. Judging by the welt across Janius' face, Fendros figured that their sparring this afternoon may have been an 'intensive' one. Either that or Janius didn't keep his guard up. It would heal by the middle of the night anyway.

It was good to hear that Meesei was successful in finding something to deal with the sentinels. If they were as tough as Ariel had mentioned, then the danger they presented was more than worth putting the extra time into such an advantage. Fendros opened his eyes again to speak with the pack. "Have there been any changes to the plan?" He asked Meesei.
