Alyssa decided to remain behind and finish breakfast. Her matters could wait for the time being, particularly once she had found some wooden spoons. Retrieving the bowl and box she made her way into the dining hall and found a couple familiar faces who were settled down for a game of cards after their night watch. Sitting down next to them she swapped some stories while they got her up to date with the latest gossip and deeds that had taken place within the Temple's walls.<br/><br/>Having finished the stew and lost considerably miserably in several rounds of guards Alyssa threw in the towel and left the small group in good spirits. Too used to taking care of her own dishes on the road she headed back to the kitchen to wash up the bowl and spoon herself rather than dump it on an initiate.<br/><br/>Entering the kitchen she found it empty of the commotion from earlier, some of the younger initiates here were busy cleaning and in the midst of food preparations. One girl seen Alyssa standing a bit awkwardly, unsure of where to go to stay out of the way and she wandered away from her wash basin and forcibly took the bowl and spoon away.<br/><br/>"T-thanks." She choked out at the abrupt nature of it, damn kids.<br/><br/>She didn't hear Zato or the one new monk, Al was his name, arrive. Alyssa did however hear the sharp crack of the cane which brought her, and everyone else's attention on the blind monk. Watching them go right to work like obedient little bees left her with a stir of pride at seeing everyone responding quickly and clearly. The monks were not ones for idle hands. Unsure of her own place in this maneuver she approached the pair.<br/><br/>"Toxin in the library? Was there anyone inside when it happened?"
