Valen went to the Hephæstus cabin and waited for someone to tell her where she could sleep tonight. She was tired and her scar throbbed. It was still tender and pinkish. Valen slid down against the wall and sat just inside the dorr, one leg foleded beneath her the other stretched out. she set her armor and knapsack on her legs and leaned her head back, eyes closing. She fell asleep that way. She had been in worse positions before.
