Ariel listened attentively and soaked up every work Rukeewei had to say. As questions came up, she would ask and receive answers, and after a while she definitely felt as though she had a much better understanding of Thorn. Before she knew it, hours had passed and Rukeewei's brightly coloured brother entered. Ariel smiled and greeted him, but he only gave a smile and a nod in return. Ariel responded one last time to Rukeewei before he left for the festival, "I'll do that, maybe I'll see you there. Thank you again! Farewell!"

Noting Rukeewei's mention of his brother's somewhat antisocial habits, Ariel turned around and walked over to the pack where they were seated. They had passed the time with idle conversation from what Ariel heard. Funnily enough, even though two empty mugs were next to Meesei, Lorag seemed to be the one with a dark-green haze to his cheeks and a sway in his movements. "I think luck has favoured me in finding that barman. He's told me a great deal." Ariel said, before holding one hand in the other and looking over the pack's faces, "Anyway, Neercana-Rei should be done with the alterations if we're ready to shift. Should we collect Ahnasha and Fendros?"

Janius began rising from his seat almost immediately. "Yeah, sure, I'll knock on their door." He said, proceeding to the stairs before Meesei could volunteer herself. He had a thought while they were waiting that if Meesei didn't understand the concepts of a changing room, then she was liable to walk in on the couple during an intimate moment. While he thought it might make for a good laugh, he decided to do his friends a favour this time. Once Janius had found Fendros and Ahnasha's room, he rapped on the surface of their door and announced, "Hey, time to wake up you two! The alterations are done."

Despite Janius' suspicions, Fendros and Ahnasha were merely sleeping, just as they had mentioned. Fendros opened his eyes and took in a slow breath through his nose before bringing one hand up to rub his eyes. The nap had made him groggier than he was before, but he didn't doubt that he would be able to shake it off in the fresh air. He looked down and saw Ahnasha with her arm around him. She looked like she could continue sleeping until the next morning, but Fendros stroked her cheek with his thumb to wake her. "Ahna, I think it's time to go," he said softly.
