Ysaryn and Ruli stopped when she said she'd return to the caves, both glancing at her in matching curiosity. "Right." Ruli said in response to her thanks, watching her walk away. 
"[i]What did you do to her[/i]!?" Ysaryn hissed at him.
He whirled to leer at her. "[i]Me? I didn't do a damn thing Don't assume.[/i]" He snapped back, and Ysaryn growled at him and turned to keep walking. He jogged after her, kicking a pinecone with his bare toe, hissing. "[i]Don't accuse me of something and walk away.[/i]" He chased after her, ignoring the argument she slung toward him as they made their way along the foot of the mountains.

They were gone for the majority of the afternoon, returning after dinner. They ate their portion of dinner in a treaty-like silence, before retiring to their own sleeping pads without a word. 

In the morning, Ruli spotted Kire's injured hands and frowned, crouching beside her. Did she not mention she could use her energy to speed up healing? He leaned, inspecting her hands the best he could without touching her. It looked painful. A familiar scent of the pink-haired elf found him. "[i]Think you could make a poultice?[/i]" Ruli asked without looking over his shoulder.
Ysaryn only hummed in response as she sauntered out, and Ruli tore his eyes away from the unconscious woman on the ground to watch her walk away. 

As Ysaryn went to work on the poultice, and Ruli helped Sid in the 'kitchen' to make breakfast, Envy woke and roamed the caves, enjoying the first cigarette he'd had in months. It would be the only one he'd have this week, if he could control himself, to keep the need to restock them minimal. Zeke found him in the main chamber, asking about the massive amount of lumber outside. "We'll be building." Envy declared happily. "Real beds and furniture. And, as soon as we're able, we're going to look for a place to build outward. Real buildings."
"So, we're not going back to Ziad?" Zeke asked. A few heads turned, curious. 
"I don't intend to." Envy explained honestly. "But that doesn't mean we will abandon it. But I think building a home here could be good. At least for me."
Zeke frowned at him, but decided not to argue at the moment. Instea,d he went back outside to inspect the supplies. Envy exhaled, glad for his silence.
