Aeriah helped the girl Jena settle in, covered her with his own blanket, giving her his bedroll, smiled and bid her goodnight, before stepping outside to take first watch. As elves only needed four hours of rest, he did not need to sleep for as long as the humans, who tended to need eight on average.

The night came and passed, bringing with it, the breaking dawn, and large, grey, looming clouds, heavy with rain.
Jena awoke to discover Aeriah in their tent, sitting crossed legged, apparently meditating. As she opened her eyes, the elf smiled and bade her good morning, offered her his waterskin and stepped outside to allow her to change in privacy. Aeriah managed to be very proper and polite, whilst maintaining a friendly, almost considerate attitude towards the girl – almost as though, he were somehow responsible for her.
Kyr still slept within ‘her’ pack, but yawned as Jena awoke and crawled out of the bag. Smiling sleepily at the girl, the little pixie stretched and began to strip, changing in front of her and not for the world caring in the slightest. When she was finished, she pulled out her own tiny waterskin and drank her fill, today garbed in a light, flowing, silvery almost mist-like dress that reached her knees. Watching the girl, she waited for her to speak first.

As the others awoke, they woke to the damp smell of chilly fog, damp grass underfoot, and a fine misty haze as the cloud shed their tiny raindrops, drifting down upon the still air, lighter then tears.
Everyone slept peacefully and were well rested by the time morning came.
