He grinned, and shamelessly bullied Blossom into taking it easy, letting her direct him, being a 'good' commander and helping his overburdened 'troop.' The food was set, and he was just stepping outside to wake them, a bit earlier than the hour he had wanted to give them, when he nearly ran into one of them. He dodged agilely, and steadied her, before mentioning the nice, hot food waiting for them, and that they would be hiking back home when they finished.<br/><br/>Once everyone had ate, he helped Blossom get her home ready for going without her for a while, letting the others wait outside, and idly mentioned they would be joined at some point by both Elwyrr, and another one, not bothering to mention it was Meridia. He did idly wonder how everyone would react, before deciding to deal with it when it became an issue. Once everything was ready, he let Blossom show him how to cast the improved speed ability on someone else, and then did it himself for some of them and himself, ignoring the headache which came pounding back, though he did finish before he got to the point where he would feel as if there was real damage done. Working muscles was good, forcing a strain to keep working was bad, but Blossom might just be acting, rather than fully rested. He suspected she was rested, as opposed to him, but he would fiddle with his brain to improve resting later. Now, he just wanted to get to the town.
