Once Ahnasha had responded, Fendros gave his own words, however brief. "Neither of us know where to start, but we will search nonetheless," Fendros' voice wasn't exactly hopeful, but they had to latch on to whatever they could.

"That's good enough for me. I just needed to know that you would take advantage of the time given to you." Ariel's serious expression turned into a sad smile again and she brought both Ahnasha and Fendros into a quick hug. Once she pulled away, she looked over her shoulder, "Sabine?"

Sabine looked up receptively from organising her new equipment.

"Could you fetch me two small vials and a knife?"

There was a quick nod from Sabine and they were quickly brought two vials closed with corked stoppers and one of the pack's iron daggers. Ariel found a small length of string to tie around the neck of one vial, then handed them both with the dagger to Fendros and Ahnasha. "I'll only need you to fill those about halfway. Keep your blood separated, and remember who's is who's with the string."

By this point, the pack was gathered and Lorag and Meesei had stirred. While Fendros ran a small cut down his palm and began to slowly bleed into the vial, Ariel's attention was diverted by Kaleeth-Rei. "Ah, good morning you two," Ariel said, standing up and smiling in equal cheer. The question on hunting made Ariel chuckle to herself before answering. "I was never a good hunter, Kaleeth. I didn't end up on any hunts and I probably would have hindered more than helped. No, I focussed on gathering ingredients where I could and helping Sabine make medicine for Ahnasha. Truthfully, I wish I could have helped more, but I suppose that's why they dropped me off here as quick as they could!" Ariel gave a quick laugh to confirm her sarcasm. Ariel turned to where Meesei and Lorag were sitting up and addressed them, "And good morning to you as well, Lorag, Meesei. Sorry if we were a bit early, Meesei. We didn't know when the hunt would begin."

"You weren't too far off, considering," Janius remarked while unfastening his own equipment.

Ariel nodded to Janius, "I guess." Ariel suddenly looked up to Meesei with some realisation, "Um, one more thing before you set off, Meesei. I had a talk with Rukee yesterday, it turns out the advice I received was correct, but anyway, he's proposed that we might all catch up at the [i]Wamasu's Nest[/i] tonight for dinner. I explained that you don't have much spare gold and we discussed the possibility of perhaps doing something similar to last night, but this time where you might bring some meats to cook over the fire in the inn. I understand if you had other things planned, but we thought it might be nice. What do you think?" As Ariel talked, Sabine had also approached as some point and seemed to be displaying quiet support for having everyone together for dinner again.
