Everyone getting out of the pool seemed to signal the night's conversations coming to an end. Once Lorag stepped out, both Janius and Ariel exchanged glances for a moment, considering whether they wanted to leave just yet.

"A big day tomorrow." Janius broke the new silence.

"Yes," Ariel replied.

Janius reached an arm over his opposite shoulder and pointed to the fire. "We should probably..."

"Yes," Ariel nodded, before beginning to get up to exit the pool.

Janius followed suit and they sat quietly by the fire for a little longer with everyone else until they were sufficiently dry. Ariel and Janius might have liked to talk some more, but the warm water had made them so tired that they were both looking forward to sleeping. Janius especially, as before they obtained the thrall he had been taking watches. As Ahnasha waited for her fur to dry and everyone else retired, Ariel stayed up with Ahnasha for a little longer to wring out her own hair. By the looks of both of them they were not long out of their bedrolls, but there was a bit of time left to pass.

"Have you thought of any names for the child?" Ariel asked curiously.
