The pattern of walking, then resting continued for the majority of the day. Hiritus kept up conversation periodically, asking about the clan, Meesei's companions, and just general questions about Gallus and his intentions. He asked to see the Ring of Hircine at one point, but did not actually ask Gallus to demonstrate its use immediately. He did mention that he wanted to see what it could do at some point, but since they were busy traveling, he was not greatly concerned with it at the moment. 

It was a few hours before nightfall when Hiritus could go no farther. He was both exhausted and starving, so after they set up their camp, he went immediately to searching through their bags for a proper meal. There was plenty of meat to be had, but of course, they did not actually have anything with which to make a fire. At least, not that would last long enough to cook anything. After a brief internal debate, he decided he would go ahead and eat what they had raw and simply get a cure for anything he might catch once they were at the hideout.

Jo'rashaad was alone at the moment that Fendros found him. He seemed to be distracted with his thoughts when Fendros called his name, so there was a few moments delay before he responded. "Oh, apologies. This one was just...distracted. Yes, Jo'rashaad would be glad to speak with you. Is there anything you need help with? You need only ask."

Like most of Ra'kalesh's pride, Jo'rashaad felt great respect and gratitude towards Meesei and her pack. They did not speak quite as often as they did before they found the Senchal clan, but nothing about his attitude towards them had changed during their journey to Orcrest.
