"Tzirret never asked, but he thinks they are for the garden and for decoration," Tzirret and Ma'tanza were passing through the main chamber quickly, despite slowing down a little to admire it. They were almost at the gate already, "He will admit, he did not search below for a bath, he just splashed himself with the water in the streams. They looked clean enough. Still, he would like a proper bath. Maybe he will find one below anyway."

The tunnel made much more of an echo as they passed through. There were still a few people ferrying supplies, so it was not as eerie as when Meesei and her advance party first stepped through it. "She says that the waterfalls are like being back in Pelletine. Are there many waterfalls in the Tenmar? Tzirret did not get to see any."

For a moment, Gallus considered dropping the issue and leaving Ri'vashi to her own devices, but his curiosity got the better of him. He nodded and gave a short hum. "That is fortunate," he said, before angling his head forward and continuing more slowly, "Are you allowed to disclose what the disagreement was over? I can tell that it was passionate, you look worse than my father after learning that a patrol was skipped."
