Knight Juliano stared at the ground in silence for a long moment before taking a bite of the granola bar. As if he was afraid Desmond would yell at him for even chewing too loudly, he deliberately chewed slower to prevent it.

Tink looked over at Desmond before shaking her head a little in disbelief. She couldn't believe the usually soft-spoken Paladin had raised his voice.

Once she was done, she corked the vial and put it back into her pack before doing the same with the water sample she found in a small nearby stream that trickled out of the side of a hill. "Is that good, Paladin?"
