I noticed Meli sliding the roasted meat from her plate to mine. I didn't say anything, but I nodded my thanks. My body needed the food, and she seemed happier with just the bread and vegetables.

I listened to Garrick and Isolde cautioning against going out tonight. I shook my head slightly.

[b]"I did not mean we should go tonight,"[/b] I clarified quickly. [b]"Isolde is right. Wandering into strange woods in the dark is foolish. And the Chief deserves the respect of a morning meeting, not a late-night intrusion."[/b]

I took a long drink of water, feeling the exhaustion of the last two days finally catching up to me. The warmth of the tavern was making my eyelids heavy.

[b]"We all need rest. I am tired deep in my bones. Tonight we sleep in real beds. Tomorrow, we start the work."[/b]

I finished the last of the food on my plate.

[b]"Let's finish up and get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us."[/b]

[hider=OOC]Cadmus finishes his meal. Unless interrupted, he intends to go to his assigned room (presumably sharing with Garrick) to get a full night's sleep to recover from the journey.[/hider]
