Hm, Eila was taking a lot for granted. She thought that having something for everyone would help morale, but she hadn't considered that she'd have to bring her own cooking tools. She had a knife and the like for preparation purposes at least, but she had dropped the ball on one of the most important elements. Holding back a sigh of frustration, she instead returned Ermes' smile with one of her own as she led him back to her bag. Alright, just because she was used to certain things didn't mean she had go walk around making assumptions of [i]everything[/i]. She just needed to...stop and make a checklist. That would help!

Fortunately she had made this recipe before and instructed Ermes on what to do. Not that it was that difficult as it was mostly just chopping things and throwing them into the pot in a certain order, but soon everyone would be able to smell the stew cooking. She somehow remembered to bring everything else she needed, and after taking a taste, deemed it a job well done. It was actually a relief; for some reason, she thought she would've forgotten something or added too much of anything.

That said, that was only because she had been thinking about how they should divide themselves for the night. She was sure they wouldn't be able to rely on Cerric for help as this was their test, so that left four of them. Kyreth seemed too uneasy to be left alone, but maybe he would be more comfortable with someone else? That would make it five people, but it still left her with some hesitation. Kyreth, Liliann, and Ermes all seemed too green to be left alone. Not that Eila was some battle hardened archer herself, and anyone could argue that the only one qualified was likely Ceolfric. Putting Kyreth with Liliann could be alright as Liliann could maybe distract any enemies while Kyreth woke up the rest of the group. But what about Ermes? After giving it some thought, Elia figured someone was going to need to pull double duty. And as Ceolfric was unlikely to volunteer, she would have to. Just the thought of getting less sleep was enough to make her weary, but then again, if she framed it as punishment for arriving late and wanting to show a gesture of goodwill to both the group and the client, then it would be fine. Probably. 

It needed just a little more time, but they were basically done. Once everything else was put away, she let herself relax. [color=palegreen]"A job well done, I would say,"[/color] Eila told Ermes cheerfully. She did, however, also think now was as good a time as ever to ask something.

[color=palegreen]"As we cooked, I considered how we should divide up the night's watch,"[/color] She noted, making sure to speak loud enough for everyone to hear her. [color=palegreen]"I will take the first watch and the last, with Ermes accompanying me in the second watch. Liliann and Kyreth can take second, and Ceolfric third. Any objections?"[/color]
