Now that Fendros had a chance to calm down and put his worries aside, he wasn't feeling so adverse to going out again today. "Perhaps. There's still the rest of the day left. Not having any gold means we might not even get to taste anything, but taking a further look around the city would be enjoyable in any case."

Fendros gave a nod before getting to work on Rhazii's clothing. The cub would probably appreciate not chafing his legs on a salt-encrusted loincloth again.

The change that came across Meesei was jarring. Janius believed that Sabine would not be in any immediate danger, but it was obvious that Meesei was still worried. He gave no protest to walking at a fast pace back to the Arboretum. "If she's still in the Arboretum, she won't be too difficult to find. It's the least crowded public place in the city at this time of day," Janius said in an attempt to be reassuring.

When the pack arrived back amongst the great garden, they began to move slowly across the sides of the road with their eyes and nose scanning their surroundings. Occasionally, they cupped their hands to their mouths and called her name. With the amount of scents going through the city, Sabine's was difficult to pick up, but retracing their steps eventually found the last point at which they were together. When they were nearing the colonnade, it seemed that Sabine strode off to one side to inspect some mushrooms at the base of a tree. One of them had been cut from its stalk. After some further investigation, it appeared that Sabine had doubled back onto the road, but her scent went in the direction of the next district.

"She must have thought we were heading in the same direction we had been going. She might have missed hearing that we were heading to the university," Janius concluded to everyone, "The next district is the Temple District. It might be that she can find her way back to the inn, but we might not be too far behind her either." Janius was still a little worried for Meesei after her reaction to it all, so he walked beside her and craned his head forward to see her face, "Are you alright?"
