Sabine gave a bright smile. "That will be good. Making potions should be without worry, then."

Before they moved out, Fendros turned to Sabine. "Did you want to come with us to breakfast, Sabine, or did you want to stay and finish up here?"

"I am already underway and I want to finish before this tent is packed away," Sabine responded. After another breath, she paused and tiled her head to one side. "Could you...bring me something back? I am hungry."

Fendros smiled and nodded before moving out of the tent with Meesei holding on.

Janius pulled back to see Kaleeth's face while she spoke, but his expression lowered into a look of sad sympathy at her last point. "Oh, Kaleeth, I completely forgot. I'm so sorry, I would have carried it out for you last night." Janius closed his mouth and looked to Kaleeth's shoulder, running a hand down it. "I know how much that armour means to you..." His eyes turned up to her face again and he tried a hopeful smile. "At least we have this. Maybe we'll get lucky and be able to collect your armour later. We'll see what happens." Still facing her shoulder, Janius' eyes turned to the light coming in from the tent entrance as the pack was leaving. "How does breakfast sound to you?"

It was perhaps half an hour before Gallus finally showed his face to Uthri and Peiter. Tzirret was nowhere to be seen, no doubt he had been drawn into helping the healers pack up after he secured his pack's belongings. In the meantime, Uthri had gone to collect some breakfast for Peiter, though she wished she could console him more.

Disappointed with Gallus' delay, Uthri didn't say anything when he arrived. She merely greeted him with a cordial look as he approached.

Gallus himself was walking with long strides and had a tension in his jaw. The sunken look in his face and the dark around his eyes spoke as much of exhaustion as they did of stress. Uncharacteristically, he didn't so much as smile when he slowed to a stop at the end of the bed to greet them, even if he managed some enthusiasm in his voice. "Good morning!" he said, trading glances between Uthri and Peiter. He settled on Peiter once he paused to find some opening words. "How are you faring, Peiter?"
