A grunt was heard from Alaerth, and one of his eyes slowly opened, surveying the deer and cooking, then each of the party in turn. The eyes slid shut again and he took a deep breath followed by a yawn. His movement stirred Alae, who blinked in confusion a few times. She jumped up when she spotted the deer.
"Did you catch that Xvim? You're wonderful!" The famished princess was next to the kreen in a blink, helping her strip the edible pieces of meat (which she promtly ate). Using the dragon form did more than merely tire, it drained the body's energy. It didn't matter if themeat was cooked or not.
Alaerth grunted again and pushed himself to his feet. After doing some breif stretches he meandered over to where Gus and Ivan were, giving the fire a curious glance, but not hesitating to grab a piece of meat and roast it.
"We'll be leaving the Defari territory today, so be on your guard. The people on the other side are likely not to be friendly towards us."
