Contrary to his word, Kelcis left her to wait for a minute or two in the small antechamber outside of the room. There was, however, a basin of clear water and a few more small, soft towels in the room, if the one he had offered her proved insufficient. On one wall, a trio of coiled cloth wraps hung on a wooden rack. Two looked much the same as the one that Kelcis wore earlier: dark, greenish-brown material clearly meant to blend into forest environs.<br/><br/>The third, by contrast, was a vibrant blue, with black bands along the edges. A tactile inspection (if she dared to touch) would reveal that its texture was also much smoother and softer than its duller companions. Even from a distance, the discrepancies were fairly obvious, however.<br/><br/>When Kelcis did finally return, he bobbed a small motion which vaguely resembled a bow (as if, for instance, he had seen a bow once or twice long and was working off of a vague memory). "Forgive me for my …" He paused for a moment, baring his teeth in frustration as the word failed to come. "For my time gone. But I have good news! I have found your companions. Or, more accurately, they have found me. Good that I sent word to the matriarchs, yes? The sooner that you meet with them the sooner you can be on your way!" He paused again, this time in reflective thought, and then added, "Well, probably."<br/><br/>He held out a hand to her and, if she accepted, led her out to rejoin the party.
