Ariel nodded to each of the pack as they introduced themselves, except of course Lorag, whom she did not know what to make of except that he seemed to have a wounded leg. It was nice to meet them on terms which were not at the end of a weapon. "Thank you, Meesei. I'll get changed." She said before making her way to her belongings. The rest of the pack put away their weapons and dispersed.

After putting away his sword, Fendros felt like heading on back to sleep. "That was interesting," he commented to Ahnasha on his way back to his bedroll.

Janius took it upon himself to fetch a bedroll for Ariel and get her settled in. It was no small embarrassment to Ariel to be interrupted while changing despite them all seeing her when she initially arrived. Janius never indicated whether it was because he temporarily forgot common modesty, but apologised all the same.

Sabine was in a good mood now, so she didn't feel too apprehensive about Meesei wanting to talk further. What she explained was interesting to say the least. She could hardly remember what it was like before becoming infected. The idea of relieving the nightmares and fears was very tempting, but it sounded scary in itself. Talking with a godlike collective consciousness was not something that she had ever planned on doing. Going through with the ritual might change her. Whether for better or worse. Sabine stood silently by Meesei for a moment, then looked up to her. "I'll think." She said, before heading to her bedroll. As if waking up in the middle of the night didn't make her tired enough, the whole episode tonight had been emotionally exhausting for her.
