Nodding after Deawen's correction, Imlosiel also excused herself, anticipating the warmth that awaited her in her quarters. Once last look around the beautiful room and her eyes closed to the world for the night, as if her body knew that difficult times lay ahead, and that this would most likely be the last comfortable bed in which she might lay and rest for a time.

Anira nodded, rest would be needed if they were to set out on their journey soon. Taking her leave as well, she walked to her quarters and quickly changed into another tunic before slipping into bed. This is going to be no ordinary journey, she thought to herself as she stared at the ceiling for sometime. With little knowledge to go on, the task at hand will be all the more treacherous. With that thought in her mind, she drifted off to sleep.

Deawen remained in the hall close to the fire she stared at the flames in thought.
Eston cleared his throat breaking her concentration " You better retire as well Eston, " he bowed and left the hall through shadows that he seemed to dominate. Dea watched the servant clear out the food and begin to dowse the torches.
she curled up on a sort of divan or carved couch. and watched the flames from there sorting her thoughts.
" I think I scared them out of thier wits, " she sighed.

The next day Halana awoke just on time. two hours before they would leave.
she gathered her things and made the bed. she wasnt sure if they had a full stafe here or not. but if they did she saved them one trouble.
she got all of her things together and walked out of the room. she knew that this would probably be the last time she would have a good nights sleep in a warm bed.
she sighed and went downstairs to see if anyone else was awake.

Anira awoke at their scheduled time of departure, pondering the situation for a moment. She knew nothing of what lay ahead, yet she felt no regret for her choice of action. If we can help save one life, it would all be worthwhile, she thought. With that thought, she quickly rose. After changing into a green tunic and making her bed, she quickly gathered her belongings. With one final glance at the room, she quietly exited and headed to the hall to see if the others had awoken yet. Seeing Halana already there, a warm smile traced her lips. "Good morning," she told the other woman in greeting as she came to wait beside her.

(I had to read quite a bit to catch up... Sorry for not posting, I've been very busy.)

*Sen sat quitely, listening to Deawen's speech, though his eyes were on those that were to accompany them. They were young, most of them, and some lacked experience, though their hearts were in the right place. Once Deawen was finished, and the others began to drift off to bed, Sen turned, and spoke to Deawen.*
It will be an interesting time, no doubt. I just hope we do not have to spend most of our time defending those who are supposed to be helping us.
*Sen rubbed his arms, and went over to the fire. He sat down in front of it, and, taking one of the furs that had been folded up nearby, offered a seat to Deawen next to him.*
Come and join me, my love. It is cold tonight, and it is best if we speak in warmth. It does not feel right, the way this cold seeps into your bones. Even with our fire, I can feel it trying to get closer.

Deawen relocated herself right next to her husband. "It is unatural for the cold to be this harsh so late. " she responded drawing her feet closer to herself. she looked very young sitting there next to her husband but her eyes betrayed years of wisdom. She wasn't sure when she fell asleep, but the fire had died only the embers remained when she woke in her husbands arms. She took note of her surroundings and noticed right off the bat she was in the great hall where she fell asleep. Her inner clock told her it was three hours before dawn. She sat up and yawned, she turned to Sen who was still asleep, " wake up, my love " she whispered carresing his face. She smiled and went to their bedchamber and dressed for the day.

Two of the servants of Deawen's household stood outside Morwen's door, bickering in excited whispers. "I'm not going in! She's known as a viper in the morning!" said the shorter of the girls. The taller responded, "You were oredered to do it! I'm only supposed to light the brazier and heat water!" The first retaliated, "Yes, but I did your work for you while you were sick. You owe me a favor, and this is how you should repay it!" As they went on, their voices got louder. To their horror, the bedroom door creaked open and Morwen stood, squinting into the daylight. She spat out, "Well, I'm sorry to know how much trouble I'm causing. I usually only hate the one who has to wake me up, but since you both just achieved that, the fault falls on you both." She slammed the door on the maids as they scurried away and threw on her riding clothes. She stowed away her things, shouldered her pack, and trudged to the common hall.

Deawen dressed in a black riding skirt and black tunic. She packed her few belongings in two leather packs. She pinned her hair back into a complex braid then went out into the great hall. Eston had already had the table set with breakfast, mainly pastries and leftover meat from the dinner.
she wasn't hungry at that moment she still had a few hours before they had to leave. she noticed the others were assembled and smiled in greeting " I trust you slept well?" she asked, though she slept in the great hall she showed no signs of weariness.

She had dreamt of Héahgod, her betrothed. A soft, pleasant dream that left Imlosiel with the lingering shadow of a smile on her face. The noises that often accompanied morning routines awoke her from this slumber, and though the sun had yet to break through the dark of the night before, she sensed other were awake, as she should be.

She changed into the clothing she would wear as they set out on their journey, and stepped out into the hall.

Morwen sat heavily, letting her helmet make a clunk on the table as she set it down. She pulled a peice of dark bread towards her and smothered it in honey. She could hear Eohric now, asking her if she would like bread on her honey. Thoughts of him brought back dreams of guilt, leaving him again for another adventure, one she was not sure what to expect of if she would come back. She ate in a moody silence. It's just early, she tried to reassure herself. You will feel better later.

Halana joined the others and was rather cheerful. her frightend mood from last night had lifted. her heart was lite. before she came downstairs she pulled out a book she brought with her, her father's jornal(sp). she read it and it gave her some encouraging words. she ate some oatmeal and waited for the others to finish.
in the meantime she pulled out her book again and started reading.
she noticed the moody expressions on some of her companion's faces she hoped she would find something in the book that would cheer them up.

Anira quickly finished her oatmeal, all the while mentally preparing herself for the task at hand. If she had learned anything from both her master and her prior battles was to never underestimate an opponent. Yet, with so little to go on though, it made it near impossible to determine what they would encounter in the wild. With a sigh, she waited until they would be given the order to depart.
