After successfully requesting to Meesei that the pack stay in the village until Kaleeth's return, Janius was quiet for the rest of the day. He distracted himself by maintaining his equipment and finding a book to read amongst the pack's belongings.

The next morning, Janius wasn't expecting Kaleeth to have returned already, but having her nowhere to be seen still gave him some heartache. He responded unenthusiastically to the morning greetings of the pack. Strangely enough at first glace it appeared that Sabine's old withdrawn behaviour had transferred into him. That was until breakfast, where Janius started to talk some more and his mood improved somewhat.

By the time the pack was about halfway through breakfast, Fendros spoke up with a suggestion. "So, Meesei, I was wondering. The village has been good to let us stay for so long, I was thinking perhaps we might be able to make it up to them somehow." He leaned forward and put his hands together, "I know some of us have been busy, but most of us have been sitting around for most of the time. Perhaps these people would appreciate it if we were to bring a kill for them? We'll need to stock up before heading out anyway. Anyone feel like hunting?"

"As much as I would like to, Fendros, I would rather wait here for Kaleeth-Rei," Janius said with some apprehension, "But, I might ask Thorantilth if there are any odd jobs I could do. I think sitting around and doing absolutely nothing today would drive me mad."

Having no particular plans for the extra day, Sabine thought for a moment, then faced Fendros and nodded. "I will go," She answered quietly.
