He would sleep, but would awaken as the sun rose.

Velin reached for his hat and placed it over his head. He yawned and gave a long stretch.

"Morning sun to you." He greeted as he would begin to reach in his bag and pulled out ingredients to make some early morning tea.

"Regardless of the early waking... That was some of the best sleep I've had in... Centuries. I felt like a child again... I used to sleep in a little hammock under the stars in Sadrith Mora... I miss the mushrooms..."

*He seemed oddly... Sentimental. His joints unlocked. Except for his right pinky, it remained locked around his staff. He came to sit and removed a vial of some sort of lubricant to attempt to remedy the issue.*
Ariana
"Sadrith Mora?" He asked, he had never heard of such a place.

While he waited for answer, Velin began to heat the water to make the energetic tea that would give them a boost of healthy energy, without a hard crash. It would take a bit, but enough time for then to relax and talk a bit more.
Christopher
"It was the Telvanni district seat on Vvardenfell. A town of mushroom towers, master wizards, and slavery. My Argonian friend, we would have little... Picnics... On the branches of the mushrooms. I wasn't there long."

*His finger wouldn't budge. He unscrewed it from his hand, and actually had to do real maintenance. It was filled with little cogs and springs Velin wouldn't understand.*
Ariana
"Ah... Interesting those Mushroom towers. My grandfather used to talk a lot about them. I've never seen one with my own eyes. But I've heard one lies in a island not far from Skyrim. Solstheim I believe." He commented.

The tea was getting ready, both of them could smell the herbs used to make the tea. It was a recipe he learned from his travels.
Christopher
"Master Neloth's tower is the one on Solstheim. I've thought i should grow my own... People of markarth would burn me on a cross."

*He eventually got the finger to move, and he screwed it back onto his hand.*
Ariana
"I do not like the people of Markarth, something in their eyes gives me a bad feeling. Their auroras... Feel like everyone in that damn city is hiding something. I feel it's more corrupt than Riften in some parts..." Velin commented on Markarth.
Christopher
"I'm there because it's a very familiar place to me... The people are not the highlight of the city. The corruption runs very deep... I'm positive."

*He opened and closed his hand. It was in perfect working order now.*
