"I would join you in exploring, I'm sure there will be no trouble. No further trouble, I should say." He walked to the last bed.

He lay his staff in the bed, the light coming through the windows played on the crystal at the top, throwing star signs across the room.
"The stars are out, there's no better time for exploring. Let us go."
