Fendros smiled at Ahnasha, he decided that he should probably retire for the night as well. He wasn't so hungry that he felt like eating anything else, and he was only really staying up to be beside Ahnasha. Before he got up, he glanced over to Janius. It wouldn't do to have him fall to one side and knock his head in the middle of the night, so Fendros shifted over to him and shook him by the shoulder until he grumbled awake. "Hey Janius, it's probably more comfortable in your bedroll." Fendros said quietly.

Janius groaned and clumsily swatted away Fendros' hand. "I've got something cooking, wait a bit," He said, not looking up.

"I think someone might have taken it," Fendros said, looking at the fire and hiding his white lie.

It was then that Janius decided to look up and found the truth in Fendros' words. "It was Lorag, wasn't it? That greedy swine." Janius grumbled, "Ah, damn it all, I'll just eat something raw." He stood up slowly and took a smaller portion from the meat store and started eating on the spot.

Satisfied that Janius wasn't going to doze off in a position that might singe his hair, Fendros stood up and joined Ahnasha, lying beside her. Normally, it was her fur that was warmer as he put his arm around her, but this time he still had some heat from the fire on his skin that mixed pleasantly. He fell asleep swiftly after closing his eyes.

Somewhere near two hours later, Ariel's return became so delayed that it was tense. It was only when the tension bordered on demanding action that footsteps were heard from further up the cave. Ariel emerged into the main chamber with a clean green robe, her regular shoulder bag, and a heavy looking knapsack over her shoulders that stuck out with many different shapes. She addressed Meesei while rather short of breath, keeping quiet upon spotting all of the sleepers, "Hello again. Sorry for taking so long. It took me a while to narrow down what I could bring. I beat a hasty advance getting up here though." She stopped and took off her bags, putting them to one side before stretching her arms and catching her breath. "I had room for one last potion in my pocket, so right before I ran out the door I picked this up." Ariel pulled out a small bottle of green liquid from a pocket in her robe, "I thought I might need it coming up here, but the fresh air was good enough." Ariel extended the bottle to Meesei, "You're on watch, correct? Sipping on this will keep you awake. You may not want to drink it all at once; it'll make your heart race." Ariel glanced around the chamber, "Did anything come up in my absence?"
