Unless there's any more conversation you'd like to have between Fendros and Kaleeth right now, go ahead.

Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

Fendros smiled and shook his head slightly, bowing it forward. Not only did it amaze him how easily Kaleeth put herself down, even after all these years, but Fendros thought that perhaps he didn't communicate his message properly. Nevertheless, he held the blade of his wooden sword in his other hand and let Kaleeth take a break.
"Don't worry, we trust you not to run off," Fendros said, "You do what you think best, and we'll all protect each other, just like always."
Fendros took a step back and raised his guard again. "As for making yourself better, you know exactly what you need to do about that. Come on, let's put worries aside and focus on practice for now."

So, I've thought of a little speed bump which could be interesting to play out. After the next skip, could we skip to roughly a week or more into the journey? I'll probably to a set up in the next scene.
Oh yeah, and I'm going to be out today. I'll be leaving in about forty minutes.

With a frown, Fendros nodded in understanding. "There have been...many times where I have been deathly afraid for Ahna or Rhazii's safety. I trust Ahna to be able to take care of herself, and sometimes she has to remind me to even then, but..."
As Fendros trailed off, he flicked his wrist around to try and get around Kaleeth's sword and thrust from up high. It was not certain to work, so he used the opportunity of forcing her guard high to step up and try to grab her wrist so he could try to strike her quickly. At that point it would be his speed versus her strength.
Whatever the outcome of the bout, Fendros had a brighter face as he recalled something. "When we had sessions with Najirra, he would hear us saying similar things to what you said, recounting our worries. After it all, often regardless of what our worries were, he would just ask us two questions;" Fendros raised two fingers, "Would we truly have control over that situation? And, is it useful for us to have such a worry in our minds at that moment?" Fendros showed his teeth in a small grin for a fraction of a second, "It may sound quite simple and strange, but just realising that a thought isn't useful to be thinking all the time is grounds to cope. You just...turn away that thought when you do not need it." he shrugged before raising his guard again, "It made more sense when he explained it, I can promise that."

There was a moment where Kyang paused in her breathing. She could have retorted Xin's point, but it was clear to her that he cared obsessively more about martial arts than he did about justice. She continued breathing and filed that thought away for later. As for Xin's method of turning the bodies in, he could drag them if he wanted, but it would be cumbersome. Kyang was thinking over possible alternatives when a thought crossed her mind.
"So, where's the 'boss' in all this?" She asked no one in particular, "We should go see Liu first, but I have a feeling we could go further than these grunts. We could check around nearby to check for a hideout...or ask our new friend that Liu is entertaining."
Kyang left the bodies for now and began striding back in the direction where she last saw Liu.

Fendros stepped back an attempted to parry Kaleeth's feint, so she had to step forward to follow through. Fortunately for Kaleeth, Fendros' sword was out of position, so he had to step back further. To try and ward Kaleeth off, Fendros swung horizontally from his left, but did not have much of a plan ahead. It made his next movements more telegraphed - a wild slash down on Kaleeth's head from above.
"Quite. As much as I am afraid to, I feel that I need to make amends with my parents as well." Fendros responded, "If only there was some kind of larger objective to work towards. It just feels like we're lashing out and destroying Vile's lairs where they pop up, but we're no closer to finding their central organisation...if there is one."
Fendros pulled a puzzled expression as Kaleeth suggested wanting to find some place to settle down. He was so used to either travelling or living among the Bruma clan that settling down some place else seemed odd. "Say, if we could go some place just to raise the children, where do you think we would go? Bruma has been quite safe since we rooted out their troubles."

I have a few things to do this afternoon. I'll probably get a post in after you go to bed. G'night!
Sabine narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly. "Sorry Peiter," she said, almost sarcastically, "It is going to be a while. I have a lot of balm to make." She patted his cheek twice, "So that can be your reward." With one last quick kiss on the lips, Sabine proceeded to put on her shoulder bag and seek out Ma'tanza. Sabine was definitely going to be working under a tent, but finding any sort of help would speed up the process greatly for making something in bulk.
In the heat of the grapple, Fendros was amazed that he managed to cut Kaleeth at all, but her honesty was well enough that she stopped. He accepted her hand and pulled himself up.
When Kaleeth mentioned her own family, Fendros gave a sympathetic smile and put a hand on her shoulder. "They meant a lot to you, didn't they? I know how you feel. I still miss my mother and father sometimes...despite their beliefs." Fendros pulled Kaleeth's side into his in a quick, comforting hug with one hand, before giving her a pat on the back and stepping back to bring up his guard again. "You know, you shouldn't write off the possibility of ever seeing them again. You still have at least half of your lifetime with a good chance to reunite. I may be an elf, but that is still a long time for things to happen."
This time, Fendros stepped up and swung first. He brought his sword around in a light slash to Kaleeth's side, meant to be easy to block but to be distracting. He followed up with a series of similar quick swings before feinting low and making a proper attempt at cutting her neck. Of course, he did his best to slow his strike down so he didn't end up seriously injuring her.

Sabine was busy finishing off Peiter's ankles as he started to speak, but she immediately grinned and began to flush as if she knew the tirade he was about to go on. "Stop," she laughed partway through, failing to stop him, "Stop!" As soon as Sabine was done, she leaned across and tried to cover Peiter's mouth with her hands as he was comparing her to Dibella, still grinning widely, "Stop that, Peiter!"
Knowing one sure way to shut Peiter up, Sabine moved her hands from Peiter's mouth to the sides of his head and began to kiss him passionately. They were at an awkward angle to one another, but it was the first time they had been able to kiss without pain from sunburn that afternoon. Sabine made it linger, running her hands through Peiter's hair affectionately. When Sabine finally lifted her head from Peiter's she took a slow, content breath. "I have to make balm now."
There was a nod from Fendros, "Yes, she has...parents who are very devoted to the eight, so it would not do to tell the whole truth, unfortunately. It was not something I was completely on board with, but it had to be done." Fendros let out a single, cynical guffaw, "We now own a hunting supply shop. Still, it was important for Ahnasha to reunite and make amends with her family. There were a lot of wounds that were healed. I just pray they do not turn up at Bruma without warning."
Fendros stopped to concentrate as Kaleeth took the initiative and hit his sword away. He tried to leap and step back, but once Kaleeth crashed into him, he could not keep his footing for long enough to cut or stab her. He was sent to the ground and pinned. It became a scuffle for who could land a hit first, as Fendros had no advantage in trying to control the grapple.

Sabine joined in Peiter's laugh and gave him a friendly pinch. "Thank you, but Freida is very pretty and brave." Sabine glanced to Peiter's eyes and tightened her lips briefly, "But, maybe she was just waiting for you to do something. A lot of girls seem to do that." Sabine's grin returned, "You took too long for me to wait."
Sabine's comment of course oversimplified the situation between her and Peiter leading up to their relationship, but it was true that she eventually had to step across the line first. In her mind, anyway.
The overreach in Fendros' attack brought his chest onto the end of Kaleeth's wooden sword. His momentum was stopped as he grunted in pain, while his sword only landed a superficial cut in return.
"Good hit," Fendros remarked as he rubbed the spot where his first bruise of the evening would no doubt form. He raised his guard as he responded to Kaleeth, waiting for her to strike first this time. "How have I avoided moon sugar? Well, with great care. I normally get Ahnasha to taste test food for me. Normally, though, if I eat any by mistake, it's a small enough amount that I just get nauseous for an hour or two." Fendros angled his head curiously, "Has Newt accidentally had any?"
