Neris really didn't want Ocieros more involved than he already was with this whole situation, but she didn't really have a say in the matter. Instead, Neris nodded and got up, throwing the false parsley into the pot to steep while she ate her share of breakfast. She tried to eat most of it, but the nervousness was enough to force her to quit after just drinking the soup. Strangely, despite what happened last night, she didn't have any odd dreams like she usually did. She couldn't quite remember them afterwards, but she usually had the sense that she did dream. Ocieros would more than once wake her up in the middle of her sleep and ask if everything's alright. She never knew how to respond when he did that.<br/><br/>"Issi, at least eat something," Ocieros frowned as he looked at her drained bowl. "I know you're nervous and all that, but you still need your energy."<br/><br/>Neris grudingly ate a few bits of meat and pushed the rest toward him as she went to take the fake parsley out of the pot. Hopefully there should be enough in there to cause some sort of discomfort for whoever ate it next. A smile crept its way up her face, but she quickly forced it down. Gloating can come after she got her book back.<br/><br/>Ocieros sighed and finished the rest of the food. "You're never gonna grow if you keep eating like this, you know?"<br/><br/>Neris shrugged. "I don't mind."<br/><br/>Ocieros grunted disapproval but went to get his hammer and coat. "You ready then?"<br/><br/>Neris nodded and followed Ocieros, necklace in hand, head down, thinking. Today was going to be an interesting one...
