<strong>Aeryn Sunlight<br/>The Quartermaster's lair, Point Respite<br/>With a great deal on her mind</strong><br/><br/>Aeryn had answered Reginald's good wishes politely.  "Good luck is always required, thank you."<br/><br/>She was equally courteous to Quartermaster Nils.  "Good day, Sir.   My personal gear I brought with me.  But perishables.... one weeks travel rations per person, I think.  A bit of a load, but that will take care of itself as time goes on.  I will be distractede enough with what I see and observe, I don't want to waste time hunting."  A thoughtful look at Eshalu.  "Which for other reasons, may not be a wise thing to do unless we have to do it."<br/><br/>Another look at Lazarette, Lyra and Reliyian.  "Small tents for those who want them, I don't need it, I'm used to a bedroll out in the open."  A tight smile.  "A tent makes it harder to hear or smell a wandering appetite looking for trouble."<br/><br/>Sunlight may have appeared slightly distracted.  Dissension in the chapterhouse to a degree noted by outsiders?  That was bad.  And she still had not yet met the Abbess.  That was very bad in light of the Commandant's observations.<em>Is there an Abbess? </em>She was starting to wonder.  They could be removed by the members.  It was rare, but it happened and here, in a potentially critical House?<em> And I have not been informed if such is the case, because they know I am headed out into the field and they hope to have things sorted out by the time I return.  Oh joy.</em>
