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!

Rhazii and Janius both ended up laughing at Leaps' antics as well. When Fendros finally pushed the creature off his body and stood up, Leaps changed targets, going for Janius. Janius saw him coming enough to bring up a hand and stop him from pushing him over, but Leaps was just being playful. He didn't put too much effort into it. "Yes, it's good to see you, too, Leaps!" Janius said. Leaps just as quickly went for Kaleeth and Ahnasha in turn, though he stopped trying to push everyone over. He opted to simply skitter about excitedly around them all.
"Alright, little Newt, I'll trust you for now," Janius said jokingly. "But I'll hear what your guardians had to say as well, okay?" Janius gave Newt a quick kiss and walked over to Jo'rashaad and S'ajira. "It's great to see your faces again, friends," Janius said to them both. With his free arm, he gave Jo'rashaad a quick hug and squat down to hug S'ajira's neck for a moment as well. The others approached to do the same as Janius spoke. "Shall we find a spot to catch up, or just talk here? Or we could catch up later, I'm..." Janius' mouth twisted awkwardly, but he did not want to ruin the mood of the moment right now. "You'll want to visit Ra'kalesh, I think."
Fendros held onto Rhazii's hand as he approached. He asked with a broad smile, "Thank you for taking good care of our children all this time. Did they give you much trouble?"

Fendros held onto Rhazii's hand as he approached. He asked with a broad smile, "Thank you for taking good care of our children all this time. Did they give you much trouble?"
Rhazii's actions were very similar to Newt's. They practically raced to their parents and Rhazii tried to tackle his kneeling father over. Fendros wasn't quite barrelled over, but the impact made him laugh. He gave his son a tight hug in return. "Hello, little one!" he said with a broad grin.
Unlike Kaleeth's inescapable grip, Fendros let Rhazii pull away quickly so he could run, grinning, into his mother's arms as well. "I missed you mama!" Rhazii said. His excitement ran faster than his mind could process the words to say. "Me and Newt got to do so much! We...got to stay up late! We...we had lots and lots of sweet food!"
"Sweets or no, S'ajira and Jo'rashaad must have fed you well," Fendros said. He brought the side of his hand up near the top of Rhazii's head. "It looks like you've gotten a bit taller since we left."
Meanwhile, Janius grinned and put his hands on his hips. He suspected that Kaleeth's reaction would be something like this. After a quick chuckle, he squat down and put a hand each on Kaleeth and Newt's backs. "Together again at last. Come here, Newt." Janius brought one hand to Newt's side and began to tickle him until he fought away from his mother slightly. Instead of giving Newt a reunited hug, Janius lifted him up by the armpits, stood up, and brought an arm under him to hold him close. "Have you been behaving yourself, son?" Janius said with a laugh. "Did you take care of Rhazii like we asked?"
The mention of growing by Fendros made him think that something was missing from this exchange. What it was hit him physically as hard as it did mentally. Leaps-On-Elves lived up to his namesake a moment later and succeeded where Rhazii failed, forcing Fendros to the floor after a running charge. Fendros held the small wamasu back with his arms and broke out laughing.
The parents seemed a bit too caught up to greet S'ajira and Jo'rashaad for the moment, but there would be time soon enough.

The weeks spent in the desert didn't provide Gallus any hiding places with regards to his pack. The quiet gatherings for meals rose in tension, in spite of Gallus working out his business with Ri'vashi. His avoidance of Peiter in particular caused heated arguments to break out between Gallus and Uthri. Gallus probably would have gone insane if he didn't have Meesei and Ri'vashi to socialise with.
More and more often, Tzirret was avoiding the drama by spending time with Ma'tanza. They continued to grow close, though the situation with Tzirret's pack was causing him great anxiety and distress. He still felt too awkward around Peiter to do anything much more than say a few words.
Sabine continued to spend much time with Peiter, though she couldn't do so all of the time with her duties. She could see the flaring tempers in Peiter's pack only making Peiter's situation worse. She wished she could do something about it.
In comparison, Meesei's pack was all but recovered from the attack. True, they were sad about Uthri's death and there was concern raised about Peiter via Sabine. However, the parents were mostly looking forward to seeing the children again, as well as taking advantage of the time they had alone together. Meesei's treatment continued without fear for her life.
"Where do you think they would be waiting?" Fendros asked Janius and Ahnasha either side of him. Wading through the crowd aimlessly was proving to be a slow method of finding their children and their guardians.
"Newt!" Janius called out, cupping his hands to speak over the crowd. He looked around the main hall with a furrowed brow. It was impossible to spot anyone outside of the immediate area. "If only they were taller. S'ajira's on all fours and Jo'rashaad isn't the tallest one in the clan." He tried again. "Newt!"
"Rhazii!" Fendros took up Janius' strategy.
Janius let out a breath. "It feels like it's been so long," he said to Kaleeth. "They've probably grown a bit."
"Rhazii!"
"Dada!"
Fendros' head snapped towards the familiar voice and the four shuffled through the crowds towards it.

Sounds good.
All I can think to do on the march is have Ahnasha and Fendros talk to Marcaille about life extension, but that's about it.
The goat life chose Kho.
"Ah, no no no! That part comes later," Gallus laughed at Ri'vashi's attempts to look seductive. Knowing her, it was just too ridiculous to take seriously. He tapped his finger against the air in front of himself. He said jokingly, "In Gallus' academy of mate-catching we stick to the principles I made you say until otherwise, silly girl."
Gallus chuckled and shook his head. "I could spend all night teaching you things that you'd learn with practice. But, the march goes on tomorrow." Gallus leaned his cheek on his fist. "Is there anything else you wanted to talk about, or should I finally let you sleep?"

Meh, PM me another if you want to replace it.
We decided to post up what we had and finish the rest in another post that we'll on now. Participants, let me know if there are any edits I should make.
