"I have a good feeling about the western exit." He shook his head, furrowing his brow as he tried to remember his past. "I know I went to bed with my wives, and I think there was a battle yesterday. But that's all I can think of."<br/><br/>He nodded to Three's suggestion. "That would be safer, yes. I think we have enough blades that we can risk dulling two for that purpose."<br/><br/>He started doing a more thorough inventory of their collective gear while Cael and the others did the cooking. When it was ready, he sat down cross-legged near the fire and ate his portion of the meal, using the bread to scoop up the stew.<br/><br/>"This is perfect. I feel much more alive now," he said, smiling at the cooks. "Thank you. This makes all the difference."<br/><br/>After the meal, he checked his weapons, attached a couple of waterskins and a small portion of bread to his belt, and struck out after Rose to the west.
