[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5666836, member: 14889"] The trek back is grueling; when they finally arrive back at camp, a little after sunset, the adventurers have been walking for close to seven hours without a break. They are greeted by the welcome smell of roasting meat. The camp is much the same as they left it, although someone has apparently spent the day weaving mats and baskets. Gelik, Alkas, and Jade sit outside near the fire. Jade is turning meat on a spit. Aerys is leaning against one of the shelters, occupied with a book--in fact, with Kovack’s logbook: she is writing in it. One of the jars of wine is snuggled in the crook of her arm like an affectionate cat. She looks up as the group arrives, her gaze meeting Hú Lí’s with a mixture of hope and apprehension. Jade greets everyone with obvious pleasure. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]“It is good to see you are all safe. Sit down, it will be cook soon--Sasha go out earlier and hunt.”[/COLOR] At the sound of voices, Sasha emerges from a shelter. She is even more scantily dressed than usual, because there is a bandage covering most of her left thigh.
