"I have rations," Ayo said. "If you are hungry, I mean. They're mostly dried meat, some vegetables and a little dried fruit...and we have to eat them cold." He took one day's ration out of his sack and shared it with Amber. They could share another for breakfast. That inn might provide then with a warm mean as soon as they got there...his mind started drifting to warm stew...grilled game...cheese...sweetened wine...<br/><br/>...Ayo caught himself daydreaming and realized he should stay focused while it was his watch. He placed the quarterstaff and crossbow next to himself on either side of his legs - and sat up; leaning against a tree. He'd wait for about half the night to pass before waking Amber for her watch. Those hours of sleep should do her well.
