[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5934301, member: 6673727"] Audra spends the first hour around dawn with only the wind and the water as her companions. The rising sun slowly brings with it the beginning of the day's activity, however, and as she continues her meditation, she hears the sounds of what is undoubtedly Captain Renlow and Nevilantura beginning their daily chores. Still, the pair do not disturb her, and she continues her practice until some semblance of peace has settled over her. At some point later on in the day, Nevil approaches her tentatively to ask, [COLOR="Olive"]"Is you alright, Miss Audra? Was up early!"[/COLOR] he says with a friendly smile, although the concern lying behind it is clear. The coming days pass without a repeat of the card's activity: Audra pulls it out and inspects it from time to time, but it seems as mundane as ever. While her sleep cannot be described as the best, it is at least not further interrupted by magically-augmented dreams. The days otherwise pass without any excitement, save for hitting another patch of river shrimp. After a little over a week, Captain Renlow addresses the group one morning at the tale end of their breakfast. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"] "Just wanted ter give you lot a head's up. Today we'll be takin' a bit of a shortcut down to the Starwater River. Madam Elenka, you'll know what I'm talkin' about,"[/COLOR] he nods to the redheaded summoner.
