It was kind of sweet. Larea fell asleep, just like that. She must have been more exhausted than she realized. Zel took a moment to pull her covers on top of her. He was gentle, though he didn't really have to be. She was out like a light. He stood and watched for just a moment, making sure no last minute tragedies occured, then went back to his own room.<br/><br/>Zel folded the note Larea had given him into fourths and tucked it safely in his bag. He crawled sleepily into bed and felt his eyes flutter. They felt heavy, but refused to close completely. He could feel himself drifting in and out of consciousness until eventually his eyes shut. The world faded away and he found himself lost in incoherent dreams which he would probably have forgotten by morning.<br/><br/>Zel was an early riser, so he trusted himself to wake up early enough to wake the others and have them go on their way. For now though, he, pardon the expression, was sleeping like a rock. Sleep always felt like a godsend after a long day.<br/><br/>-----------<br/><br/>Zel woke as soon as the sun shown on him from the window. Judging by its position and the time of year, it was probably somewhere near seven. That was a decent time to begin a journey. Zel got out of bed and strapped his sword to his belt. He pulled his bag out from under the bed and did one last inventory check before slinging it crossways over his shoulder.<br/><br/>Zel made sure his room was in order before he left. He was pretty sure he wouldn't be coming back, and the inn had a cleaning lady to take care of things, but he was tidy by nature. The stone man locked his door on the way out and went downstairs to return the key to the inn keeper. He then headed back upstairs to Larea's room, figuring he might as well wake her up first since her room was closest to the stairs. Well that was his original plan, but then he was met with the sight of Sigrun sleeping at the summit of the stairs. He must have subconsciously ignored and stepped over her on the way down.<br/><br/>Zel gave a sigh. The night must have been quite the problem child when she was younger. "Sigrun!" he called out her name and nudged her with his foot. "Wake up. We're leaving."
