The sun rises in Valwick, a cold breeze making its way through town.
Clara slips out of Esmerelda's bed, giving the dhampir a tender kiss on the lips before putting her clothes back on. She makes her prayers to Iomedae and puts Misty next to Esme. The paladin goes to her room and puts her gear on. She sighs as she goes to see Barclay.
Ashram smiles as he puts on his armor. For once in his life, he was stepping out of the comforts of being a simple cleric. He straightens his vestments and puts his holy symbol around his neck. He leaves the temple's simple cloister and heads to Hadrinn's for breakfast.
Barclay stirs from his slumber, the persistent knocking being more than he could ignore. He opens his chamber door. "Clara? It's early..."
"I know, but I needed to leave some things with you for Sādhanā, should she return while I'm gone...or if something happens to me," Clara says. She produces a key and a couple of books. "Please make sure she gets those."
Barclay yawns and takes the items. "Of course. Iomedae bless you on your journey and grant you victory."
Tesia shivers in the early morning breeze and groans slightly at the light coming in from the window. Feeling Rhy next to her she smiles, last night was amazing and it would have to be enough to get them through the next few days. As much as she loved Rhy, she wasn't really into displaying her love in front of others. Not in such an intimate way at any point. Brushing some hair out of her loves eyes she kisses her softly on the lips, "Good morning light of my life. It's already time for us to get up. What about getting some breakfast before we head out?"
Clara turns and heads to Hadrinn's. Though she was nervous, her night with Esmerelda bolstered her spirits. She would need some food to make it through this trip.
Rajni reluctantly opens her eyes as the morning light comes in the window. Dillons arms still around her she smiles remembering the activities of the previous night together. Turning in the bed so that she faces him she presses her body up against his as she leans in to give him a kiss, "Good morning my love. Are you hungry....for food? I think I have enough time before I have to leave to have some breakfast with you if you like." She runs her hands along his back down to his backside and gives it a squeeze.
Dillon smiles at Rajni. "I think I can squeeze in a breakfast at Hadrinn's before I have to start class."
She nods and smiles back at him before leaning close to him to give him another kiss, this one slower and deeper than before. She sighs happily, "HHhhmmmm....well, I better get up and put some clothes on before I'm tempted to satiate my hunger with something else." She sits up on the side of the bed and puts her now dry hair into a couple of braids before standing up and looking around the room. Spying her nightgown and cloak on the floor she sighs, "Well...guess I'll have to get back home first before going for breakfast. I forgot I wasn't wearing exactly clothes when I came to you last night."
Picking up her things she puts them back on quickly and turns to Dillon, "I'm gonna go home real quick and get changed, grab Shamara, and we'll meet you at Hadrinn's okay love?"
"I'll be there."
She nods with a smile and gives him one last kiss before hurrying out of his room and heading back to her own home. Thankfully most of her supplies were already on the sled that was at Alethiro's house. All she needed to do was get changed, pick up the bag that she packed with a few things, Shamara and head out. She gave little thought to the fact that she would be entering her house in her sleep things after not being in her bed all night, still caught up in the euphoric state she was in after their night of lovemaking she wasn't thinking about much of anything else period as she let herself into her house and starts up the stairs to her room.
Rajni's room is empty except for Shamara since Elena now sleeps in Kama's room.
She shrugs as she figured Elena would spend her time with Kama now. Getting her day traveling clothes on and making sure she had a change of clothes in her bag with everything else she had, she puts her boots on and calls Shamara to her before grabbing up her bag and heading back downstairs.
Waking to the gentle kiss, Rhadaya's eyes flutter open to meet Tes' loving gaze, a slow smile spreading across her face. Never in her life had she ever had an experience that even came close to her first night with her wife. Even the thought of the word made her smile wider.
"Good morning my angel. AFter last night I think breakfast sounds like a great idea." she says caressing Tes' cheek.
Taking Rhy's hand she kisses it softly as she smiles at her beloved, "Then let's put some clothes on so we can go eat. It feels colder this morning than it has lately."
Checking one last time to make sure she has everything with her she heads out the door to Hadrinn's to meet up with Dillon.
Clara laughs as Ashram and Dillon come walking in. "I suppose this is the unofficial meeting spot."
"It looks that way."
"I guess Rajni isn't here yet."
Clara shakes her head. "Guess we'll all eat together."
"Yeah it does, fortunately I didn't notice last night on account of my hot wife." Rhadaya says with a wink as she get's out of bed and begins dressing.
Tesia blushes, the familiar pink tint going all the way to the tips of her ears as she also gets out of bed and gets dressed for the day. Once dressed and her hair done she says her prayers quickly before making sure everything is in their bag that they need. As soon as they're both ready she holds a hand out to Rhy, "Shall we my love?"
Rajni shows up at Hadrinn's a couple minutes later and joins the others at their table, "Sorry I had to....do something real quick." She had to stop herself, not everyone needed to know what she and Dillon had been up to the previous night. Sitting down next to Dillon she gives him a kiss on the cheek, "Did I keep you waiting long?"
With the rising of the sun, Alethiro got up from his bedroll in the living room, packed it up, and make some breakfast for himself. Arista's family soon got up after him, and they ate together. Figuring the other's would most likely be at Hadrinn's, he bid Marie and the others farewell, and headed that way.
"Fare morning to you all, hope I haven't kept you waiting." The Elf greets everyone.
Taking the opportunity while Tes prays to meditate, feeling the connection to the elements and mentally giving a nod of deep respect to Nethys, Tes takes her wife's hand with a smile on her face.
"Yes we shall." she says as they head downstairs and out towards Hadrinn's.
Dillon shakes his head. "Not at all."
"Good morning, Alethiro," Clara greets. "How is the family doing?"
Sitting next to Dillon she practically glows with happiness as she looks at Alethiro, "Nope, just got here myself and I think we're still waiting on a couple aren't we?" She takes Dillon's hand under the table.

As they walk into Hadrinn's and see everyone gathered around one table she chuckles slightly, "Well...I guess I know where we're sitting." Going over to the table she pulls out a seat for her wife before sitting herself, "Goodmorning everyone." She looks at Rajni and smiles, "My you sure look happy this morning. Excited about taking this trip?" She asks innocently.
"Their doing fine for now. I just hope we can get everything settled with Malwen soon." The Elf replied to the Paladin.
"Good morning to you....Tesia and Rhadaya, is it?"
Smiling she nods, "Yup, I'm Tesia and this is my wife Rhadaya." She says as she takes hold of her wifes hand.
She shrugs, "Yeah...sure I guess. I'm just hoping that while out there I find some big things to kill that will last longer than the food I've been finding around here."

Alethiro looked at Rajni, he knew that glow, after all, it was only a month ago he had a very similar one the morning after his wedding.
Noticing Alethiro looking at her she smiles at him, "I got the rest of my stuff with me, so after we eat I'll go by your place and hitch up Balladier if that's alright."
"I may be the strange one of the group, looking forward to seeing more of Zahvroma," Ashram says, flagging down the youth serving the people and ordering a coffee.
"I'd say you were, Ashram, except I think I've been cooped up in this town for too long...despite the good things that have happened," Clara says.
She nods, "Yes...very good things." She says as she smiles up into Dillon's face.

"Good to meet you all." Rhadaya says with a smile, flashing Tesia a grin as she sits in the chair she draws out for her. "Well I'm pretty new to Zahvroma so the idea of seeing more of my wife's homeland is pretty exciting."
"Sorry if that gets kind of annoying, I just really enjoy saying it." she follows up with a rueful grin.

"I feel the same way about my girlfriend," Clara says before blushing furiously.
She laughs lightly, "Well...first I don't find it annoying at all...but love, I'm not from here. I actually came from a villiage in Lakkara. I just came over here on the boat with Kaplan when Elder Sister called us before figuring out that she was crazy and needed to be put down."
