Aya sleepily woke up in her cot, hardly wanting to get out from underneath the blankets because of the morning chill. At once she remembered the events of the previous day and hastily reached to feel the spot where she Destin had curled up to rest by her feet. To her disappointment there was just an empty space. She rubbed her eyes and got up, realising she'd gone to bed fully dressed. Well, there was hardly any point in changing her clothes now.
In her examination of the tent, one that had formed out of a habit to make sure no one ever tried to fix themselves up with poor medical knowledge, she noticed that some herbs had been touched. She felt safe to assume that it was Destin's doing and wondered where the boy had gotten too. He hasn't gone back already, has he?
Destin walks into Ayas tent again and grins, seeing her. "Hey you're finally awake!" He says happily. "I was just outside getting some more water. I've been showing Brick how to make poultices." He sets the small bucket on the desk and walks towards her a bit. "Sorry I wasn't here when you woke up. I wanted to be. But...you know how it goes." He rocks back and forth on his heels, a bit nervously.
