Fendros took Ahnasha's hand as they set off. To her question he smiled slightly and shook his head. She frequently discouraged herself like this, despite her obvious and justified disadvantage. "Hah, carrying you? That's an idea." Fendros said jokingly. Behind the veneer, Fendros actually gave Ahnasha's idea some serious consideration, but he didn't want to upset her. He decided to switch to a friendly but firm tone, "Ahnasha, be fair. You've not lost your skills, you've just got a weight on your front for the near future." He looked at her directly, "And you've made a circular argument for yourself as well. The reason we have to get to Stormhold at such a pace is because you're so close to giving birth, don't think we're judging you." He glanced his eyes forward for a moment, "Think of it...as a challenge. And the conditions of the challenge include this handicap. I believe you can do it."

As soon as Janius spotted Kaleeth heading back to camp, he had approached her and given her a hug. He could tell from her expression that last night was tough. Seeing as they were leaving nearly immediately, Janius had to delay talking to her until they had both retrieved their belongings and began walking. In this time he didn't hear Kaleeth say a single word. He decided to walk beside her when they began to move. "How did you go last night? Do you remember much?"
