Larea<span style="font-style: italic">started</span>listening to Sigrun's story with interest, she really did; but after just a few minutes, it was hard for even her to feign enthusiasm. For a while, she had her food to occupy her, but that only lasted so long, and eventually she had no choice but to give Sigrun her full attention. The knight droned on and on about the most minute and inconsequential of details, and if she hadn't just woken up, Larea was certain she would have fallen asleep from sheer boredom. Occasionally, she would glance at Zel, who didn't seem to be doing any better than she was from what she could tell. It was crystal clear that there was now an unwritten rule in their little group to never ask Sigrun for a story.<br/><br/>She let out an exasperated sigh as the story finally ended, though she tried her best to mask her annoyance. It was a godsend when Zel spoke up and said they should leave; the tone in his voice made it even more obvious that he didn't enjoy that event any more than she did, and moving on seemed like the best approach. Larea shot to her feet and nodded eagerly in agreement, even going so far as to start walking down the path on her own, rather than following someone else. True, they had important work to do, given the events of last night.. but clearing her memory of the entire history of Sigrun's life took precedence in her mind at the moment, and the journey to reach both of those goals began by leaving this spot.
