Starkin and Layla were resting away on the same bed. Everyone else, including Kayi, had slept in their own beds.
"Hey, Tellenais?" Kayi asked the Panther, whose golden eyes were keeping an every alert sentry watch over the door.
"Grr.grr?" Tellenais asked.
"Well, do you believe that I'm from the future?" Kayi asked.
Tellenais came over to the bed and nodded. "Raw!"
"Hush, not too loud. You serious?" Kayi asked.
The huge panther nodded again.
"Well, my name's Kayi. Not Morgana- that's my mother. I'm Kayi," Kayi explained.
She could only see the panther's outline and golden eyes, which glimmered like a sunset in an ocean of night.
"Well, Tellenais, good night."Kayi's eyelids fluttered and closed.

Breakfast was cold porridge of Sonya's making.
"It's healthy," Sonya said proudly, laddling out the mush to all the clanners in the pub alongside a side of honey and dried fruit and nuts.
The Blue Mage shivered when he saw it but said nothing.
"Good morning sleepyhead!" Sonya teased. She seemed cheery today. "Bedbeetles enver got you last night?"
"Nope," Kayi said, smiling back and Sonya dished out the whitish gluey substance.
"Normally it's better, but the Inn was out of ingredients," the Summoner explained. "Hey, Ifrit, it's getting cold again," Sonya said to the fiery summon that just appeared.
He nodded and grasped the hue cauldron firmly in his large hands. The metal shimmered with red, and the breakfast was warmed. Ifrit disappeared.
"Hey! Missy Morgana!" Zhiraz yelled, waving from a table.
"Good morning," everyone said.
Willy still didn't have a shirt.
"Tell Willy to go get a shirt," Layla said.
Willy shook his head. His head wrap wasn't on either. "My favorite store is closed. I'm waiting," the Ninja explained.
Starkin had a wicked gleam in his eyes.
"Actually," the Dragoon said. "It'ss becaussse he'sss flirting. With the ladiesss. I heardPenelope tell him that he looked sssexy without his shirt- ow!" A bowl of porridge was now firmly lodged between Starkin's armor's horns. Everyone started laughing, and Willy went back to Sonya with the excuse that it was so good he had eaten the bowl too.
"I'll get you for that, Willy!" Starkin yelled, walking off to the bathrooms, ignoring stares and giggles a Dragoon with a bowl of porridge stuck on his helmet always got.
"Well, that was fair interesting," Sonya said, returning to the table. Willy followed behind with a new bowl of porridge.
After breakfast, they set out in the same encamptment by the river to wait for Bruno.
"Well, Morgana," Layla said, sitting by her. Starkin and Dasmon were wrestling nearby. Dasmon threw Starkin down with an "Omph" and sat on him.
"Dasmon, don't squash him," Willy yelled, mucking about in the water, looking for his shirt.
"Boys..." Layla muttered, turning back around on the rock. "Anyways, Morgana,Bruno'll be coming back in a moment- Holy crap, what is that?" Layla cried, standing straight up.
There was a rumbling, and another huge rumbling, and a stampede!
