"Rest well, Master~" Delphine would say - As she returned the hug, her slender but strong arms encircling Cedrik...Her hands resting lightly against his back! After all - they had a lot to do, tomorrow.<br/><br/>She'd ease herself down against a tree, listening intently...Her keen nose twitching, ever-so-slightly, as she sniffed the air at irregular intervals. No sign of anything approaching - But she'd only be at ease when morning came, if at all. At least Cedrik would get a few hours of rest, with her standing watch...And she certainly didn't intend to slack off.<br/><br/>Perhaps the Eidolon didn't need to rest. But this was certainly far less<em>restful</em>that her *very* comfortable lodging last night...As she thought about the ring she carried with her. For a moment, she was tempted to take it out - But the faint crunch of footsteps on the leaves made her change her mind, as she glanced over at the Cleric!<br/><br/>"I..." she began - Her brow furrowing, ever-so-slightly...Her expression thoughtful. She might be a creature of magic, but her use of it was instinctive...<br/><br/>"-I'm not sure," Delphine admitted, her chin coming to rest on her knees. "The ghouls...It felt like they were behaving<em>strangely</em>. Like they weren't acting alone...Like someone was guiding them,<em>controlling</em>them..."<br/><br/>Her voice trailed off, her eyes widening slightly in realization-<br/><br/>"...Something was watching us *through* them, I think - Someone<em>allowed</em>us to leave."
