((OCC: Great to have ya back Muse! It wasn't the same without ya))
Merit & his group of sligs eventually set up a makeshift camp. The "cooks" make some kind of stew for dinner.
Merit: *finishes a bowl of stew* ugh...ok. *sets bowl aside* Hey guys, listen up. I want two sligs at a time to keep watch while everyone sleeps. We'll change guards every two n' a half hours alright? we have to get moving before dawn--so I suggest you boys try to sleep tonight. Tim?
Tim: Huh? Oh, yeah?
Merit: You and I will take first watch.
Tim: Yes ir.
Merit: As for the rest of you, we'll wake two of you when our shift is over. *Looks at Jaws--who's already fallen asleep under a tree*
Sligs: Yes sir.
*everyone cleans up after themselves & goes to bed--exept Merit & Tim*

Ben & the rest of the infantry have already eaten & are also getting ready to settle down for the night--the guards taking thier lookout posts for the night.
Ben: *lays down on Merit's bed* Sigh..... *takes his mask off & falls asleep*

Nomad wanders on--fearing that if he doesn't find Jeteal in time that the sligs will get to her. He's getting very tired--& is cold from falling in the river.
Nomad: *Looks around* I'm still lost... *sighs & staggers on* (I need to rest soon here..) Ugh.... *falls & passes out*
Voice: Nomad! You silly! What are you doing? *giggle* Wake up!
Nomad: *feels something get pushed up his nose* Ow! Stop i-- Jet! How'd you get here?
Jet: HAahahaahaha! You have a bug in your nose! Hahahahaha!
Nomad: Wha? Aa! *blows the insect out of his nose*
Jet: eeeeew! *whipes a snotty spider off of her face*
Nomad: *cant hold back a chuckle* Eh, eheh, oh I'm sorry dear!
Jet: S'okay *giggles & flings her arms around his neck* What where you doing?
Nomad: Long story Jet--I'll tell you later. You alright?
Jet: Yup! Come back inside silly! *lets go & runs back into the cave*
Nomad: *smiles* Haheh! (I was here all along!....Oh! Hey! My fish) *picks up the fish before following Jeteal back inside*
