Julian did not hide the fact that she wanted to return to Saul's camp, but he did not refused her request.  He turned and called the name of one of the men - Lyon - to escort her back to the camp.  The women each told her their goodbyes and Julian walked the two travelers to the edge of camp, "Lyon will see you home.  And don't forget my offer - it is always open if you change your mind.  May Pelor shine is grace upon your journey," he said as she left, ending with the traditional sending-off, standing and watching them for a while before turned and heading back into the camp.<br/><br/>Lyon was more or less a bore.  When he did speak, it was slow and the man was obviously dumb.  But he was friendly and even an infant could tell that the strong-man had a heart made of gold.  He carried a heavy club and never was more than two steps away from Valla.  Just as night began to fall, they made it to her home camp and Lyon stayed near the edge, bowing respectfully,"You have a good night.  It was nice talking with you," he added before he left, even though the conversation was quite limited.  Still, it was pleasant enough.<br/><br/>Camp at nightfall was fairly boring - Saul was just finishing with his dusk prayers, praying for the souls of his flock to survive the night until Pelor's light would shine on them again.  Derrik was busy trying to make his still work - it was a small one, but he had a bit of success the week before until it boiled over.  But Tommy was nowhere to be found - not with Saul and not in his tent.  It was by he and Julian's initial night-time surveying trips - back before the schism - that they had warned people to not enter the forest at night.
