"If that's what you want, then that's what we'll do." Peiter answered. They held themselves closely together as they laid down, not that there would have been a choice otherwise with the size of the bed. He closed his eyes and relaxed, glad to have just had that conversation, as uncomfortable as it was. Even if he had been hoping for a different answer to his last question, he was content with the knowledge that they could both be more comfortable with one another. He honestly had no problem waiting at the moment.

The next morning, most everyone was allowed to sleep as long as they needed. Several were resting well-past dawn, but Meesei forced herself awake as soon as the first light shined through her window. Although, she had managed to get to sleep early enough that she was reasonably well rested. Gallus was still asleep when she awoke, but as he was going to be needed for the meeting, she could not give him the luxury of a longer night's sleep. Once she had the chance to get up and stretch out her muscles, she knelt down next to Gallus' bedroll and started shaking him lightly. "Time to awaken, Gallus. There is much we need to do today."
