Sabine noticed Peiter's look by glancing sideways at him. She gave him a quick, twitchy smile in reassurance, but she suspected that there would be words later. Honestly, it would be nice to talk to him about it rather than avoid it, but she didn't not want to do that in front of everyone.

The speech that La'khay gave was heartening. They had of course expressed their gratitude for being saved before, but everyone knew that their imprisonment was a horrible experience. The gratitude would likely not be understood by the rescuers even if they recounted all that happened.

"Thank you," Sabine said with a nod, glad to be off the previous subject. "Hopefully, we can find your clan unharmed as well."

Tzirret even gave a smile. "We did not do much, really. It was everyone else." Tzirret's smile faded, "Well, I did kill one of them with a spear, but Leaps-On-Elves was killing him anyway." The memories brought back the image of Ciinriel hooked up to the rack and Tzirret gave her a glance and a swallow. "This one wishes we could have found you all sooner."

As was usual when she was nervous, Sabine's appetite disappeared. She stood up and went to replace the unfinished part of her meal with the rest of the food and walked up to the group one more time. "It is getting dark. I am going to sleep." Sabine began to yawn and spoke through it, "Thank you for the talk." With that, she turned and walked towards her bedroll.
