[QUOTE="spyscribe, post: 1997077, member: 5808"] On his way back to his tent following midnight prayers, Anvil notices a light burning in the tent shared by Eva, Lira, and Reyu. Low voices fall silent at his approach, but a moment later, Reyu lifts the door flap to let him in. "How did you know it was me?" Anvil asks as he sits beside them. "I looked," Eva replies. "I didn't notice." "Good." Eva and Reyu are examing a document, which Anvil quickly sees is the map of the Sovereignty given to the party by Lord Agasha. Off to one side, Lira sleeps soundly. "I couldn't sleep," Eva explains. "I wanted to be sure the only place you could be going if you were on this road beyond the mines was the Monastery." "What about the Vale?" Reyu points out, indicating a spot even farther into the mountains along the same trail. "From my understanding," says Anvil, "the Vale of the Holy Spring is the reason why the monastery was built. Even if she is going there, she will pass the monastery." "Do you know what the Vale is?" Eva asks. "A holy site of some sort. Lord Agasha--" Anvil stops talking as Lira murmurs something and rolls over in her bedroll. A few seconds later, her breathing resumes the steady rhythm of deep sleep. Reyu spares a glance at the sorcerer. "I am not certain it is a good thing she can sleep through our discussion." "That is true," Anvil agrees, adding, "Kettenek's Justice demands vigilance at all times." Eva flashes a small smile. "Look closer." Reyu does, and notices Euro quickly closing one eye under her attention. "If we were something to worry about," Eva continues, "he'd wake her up." Anvil shrugs, and returns to the prior topic of discussion. "Komatsu's concerns were clear. As we have decided he is trustworthy, we must assume the Inquisitors share our destination. And if that is the case," he adds, "we will not want to be delayed more than necessary in our departure." With that he rises and taking his leave, returns to his tent. Reyu, having no need of sleep, also excuses herself. Alone, Eva puts out her small lamp, and crawls into her own bedroll. But it is a long time before sleep claims her, and when it does, her dreams are troubled. [/QUOTE]
