She's a little tired - mid-watch will do that - but awake. A little tea and a little breakfast finish the job, and that gives her something to focus on that isn't the tempting tower-song. As is not unusual, she is packed up, armored and ready to go very quickly, with only a few straps to tighten while she listens to Neeral's instructions. This is almost reassuring, if not enough to fool Kiva into relaxing; the tower-song at the edge of her thoughts keeps her from that.<br/><br/>"Sounds good." Kiva stretches, then settles into a crouch, eying the tower. "Assume everything is a trap, move accordingly, don't get split up." Easy ...? Kiva looks around, then shakes her head. Easy usually means somebody is dead in the first ten minutes. Easy means they haven't been told everything. So, this is probably going to be 'easy', in that sense... Kiva straightens and looks around again, silently memorizing faces. Some of these she might not see again come evening. And to think, she thought she would be done with that ritual.<br/><br/><br/>
