Mariska is glad to be back on the road; there is a purpose in moving and it didn't seem so necessary to talk.  As they continue their journey toward Baldur's Gate and dawn, she doesn't too much sign of fatiguing, thanks to a magical ring she'd purchased with the proceeds from one of her previous adventures.  However, after several hours of walking, as the night sky begins to change to the rosy tones of dawn, she says, "I will need to rest soon in order to prepare my spells."<br/><br/>OOC: If I've moved too far along with the time, please let me know and I'll edit.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
