anyone needs is him dragging us all down." The ratfolk gave a hefty shrug, but Svetlana may notice some illusion of a smile on the tip of his snout.

The ratfolk takes a deep breath, then looks toward his housing for the night. "About time I turn in to sleep. Gonna be a long day tomorrow." Though he waves, he doesn't say good night, instead quietly off to rest before the big day.

The rest of the day comes and goes without incident. As Zrak spent his time talking with various people around the Post, Malkala spent most of her time doing various kinds of research and study. However, there were times where Zrak saw her talking intently with Tristian, who seemed thrilled for the conversation.

Zrak awoke the next day to a cloudy sky and somewhat dark surroundings. It does not look like it will rain soon, but as he looks to the south, he sees darker clouds. He finds Malkala already awake and getting her belongings ready. As she does, he can see that she has already divided her vials of potions between the pair of them.

"Morning." She says seeing the ratfolk awake.
