The rest of the day and the night went by with a complicated atmosphere in the clan. On one hand, they were anxious about Harriet's fate, and her packs were somewhat listless. However, for all, there was a measure of relief. The sordid business with Jerrick's murder had been resolved, he would be cremated under the bright moons the night after they were full. Then, everyone could bid him a true farewell.

There were some minor concerns that had sprouted since the trial, the greatest of which was the matter of succession, but also other complications. Word had spread quickly of Galsek's arrest, as well as the words he had shouted through the halls during his questioning. Surprisingly few people were upset about his true nature, and those that were drew emotions of betrayal for the most part. At least the plan to release him hadn't been eavesdropped upon. At least, from what Meesei's pack could gather.

As far as Meesei's pack fared now, Fendros had recovered from his episode and joined everyone for dinner. Everyone idly rubbed their necks as they felt the stress they had stored through the past few days. Laughter and smiles were traded easily as they shared catharsis in their unity. Fendros especially was relaxed to be with Ahnasha and Rhazii without any great fear hanging over their heads. It had been an eternity since the last time. Janius was glad to be around Kaleeth, not only because they were separated, but because he was eager to swap stories with her about their experiences with their respective lieutenants while they guarded them. Finally, Sabine ate happily, but she couldn't help but feel that she enjoyed the excitement of working with new people and materials. For all her smiles, her eyes drooped with fatigue and she eventually fell asleep on Lorag's side despite the loud murmur of the dining hall.

Morning came by as everyone woke up one by one. Due to the lack of sunlight, stirrings seemed to be more sparse. Fendros awoke first to find an empty space where Kaleeth and Janius' bedroll was. Even while groggy he solved that riddle quickly. Just the movement of Fendros sitting up stirred the others. All except for Sabine, who was still fast asleep and looked like she would be until further notice. It was no wonder with how exhausted she was last night.

After sliding the sheet of leather off the light-stone, an almost silent sound of struggling was heard next to Fendros. He looked over to smile at Rhazii, who's little eyelids were scrunched in protest. "Good morning, little one," Fendros said softly.
