Tarentek did not think he could actually understand Onyx's beliefs without a much more in-depth explanation of the beings she was referencing, but it was obvious those beliefs were strongly-held. Of course, he felt that a more likely explanation for her ability to carry him was simply that she was much stronger in flight than he initially assumed, but he also did not doubt the power of faith in motivating someone towards their goals. Whatever the case, Onyx's suggestion that he get some rest was starting to seem quite appealing. 

"Oh, I do not think I will have any trouble getting to sleep. I will finish my meal, then retire for the night. Thank you for your hospitality. I hope my warning helps your people." He said. After a few minutes, he was finally able to finish what was left of his meal before bidding her goodnight, then returning to his room. 

As Tarentek was undressing himself, he sat down on the bed with his robe in hand, running his finger through the hole in its front. The robe was not his originally, but rather that of his friend whom he escaped Amman with, as his own robe had been torn to shreds by the same weapon which gave him his scars. Tarentek had done everything he could to save him, but the bullet had pierced his heart, and the bleeding outpaced his regeneration. His death, unfortunately, was not quick nor painless, but at the very least, he had a chance to give his final words to another. Tarentek could not help but to wonder how many of his fellow warriors had not been given the same opportunity. How many had died with unfinished arguments, unconfessed love, or other unsaid words? There was always the possibility that some had survived, but with what he had seen during the battle, he held little hope. There had been far too much death; it was something that he was still having a difficult time coming to terms with, so for the moment, Tarentek did his best to push the thoughts aside. After finding a place in the corner of the room to tuck away his clothing and other belongings, he finally laid down in the bed for some well-deserved rest.
