"Don't worry about it. I don't know all of what happened to your sister, but if she is getting better, then that is all that matters." Rukeewei answered before returning her kiss. Despite their awkwardness, Sabine's questions had been somewhat revealing to him. After a few moments, he wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug, then started to smile once she could no longer see his face.

"Oh, yes, okay." Kaleeth said, immediately forgetting the question she was answering. Janius placed her down, but she only managed to sit up for a few seconds before falling on her back in the sand. It was a clear night, and with no trees above them, she could see the stars a great deal more clearly than in most places in the marsh. In fact, apart from the previous night, it was the most complete and spectacular night sky she had ever seen. She had no knowledge of the constellations, but her mind did try to form its own shapes out of the stars above. "Is the sky always this bright? It looks brighter than normal; so many stars. I feel like I could stay here forever." She commented, trying to become more comfortable by unsuccessfully attempting to remove her dress.

Ahnasha tried her spoonful of the medicine directly after Fendros, though she did not like its taste near as much as Fendros seemed to. Still, it was tolerable, and as long as it stopped her nightmares, she could not care less how it tasted. "Ah...well, at least we only have to have a spoonful at a time. If this works, though, I might actually be comfortable with going to sleep for a change. Could you unpack our bedroll? I'm going to see if I can get Rhazii to sleep again. He at least seems like he is still tired."
