"Good, good," Gallus remarked, "The technique worked wonders with Tzirret in his earlier years. I'm glad it helped here."

It only took about a minute to don everything else, so Gallus was already walking towards the door when Meesei spoke. Gallus listened with a raised brow and responded, "Of course. Don't forget to grab some breakfast for yourself." Gallus opened the door and exited, "See you soon."

The orange light of the dawn still made the forest floor dim, but there were some people milling about nonetheless. As it was in Bruma, early morning routines were not universal, but they were prevalent. Gallus made a quick stop over at the store rooms for some food while he searched, but even from the platforms above, it was not easy to search for Do'ajee. He had to climb down a rope with his breakfast backstrap in his mouth to look more closely. Eventually, he found Do'ajee and waved as he approached.

Sabine was awoken in a similar fashion to the previous morning. She had woken up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, but did not bother Peiter for longer than the few moments it took to get back to sleep. Now, she had awoken in a sweat again, but not a cold sweat. The heat of the jungle might have overheated her had she slept in any longer.

She smiled as her eyes opened to Peiter's face. "Good morning," she replied, before tightening her embrace with Peiter and breathing in. She kissed him deeply for as long as it took for the sweat and heat to get too uncomfortable. At that point, she rolled onto her feet and stood up to stretch. Her smile was implacable. The sun was brighter than usual this morning. "I am hungry," Sabine commented with strain in the middle of stretching her arms out.
