Sabine nodded in agreement and smiled.

Tzirret closed his eyes and nodded at the suggestion of sleep, but at Peiter mentioning him being missed, he looked at Peiter with a small measure of surprise. "Oh, right," Tzirret said as he itched his forearm, "Things have been distracting. Sometimes this one feels that he should not impose on you two, though. I do miss being around you both as well."

"Do not be too worried, Tzirret," Sabine reassured with her head angled to one side, "You would not impose on us most of the time, and even if you do, we will not be angry, we will just let you know."

"Oh, he can tell most of the time," Tzirret replied, looking to the table, "It is more that we were all busy with the searching. It left little time."
