Smell

With things settled and new tasks to do, the club meeting was adjourned and they went their mostly separate ways. Dukiel's and Julius' dorms were in the same direction, after all. Nessa went back to her dorm. Everything they had to do could be done after a night's rest.

Not to mention their own tiredness, their tasks were of the social kind. It would be difficult to do what they needed to do when the people they needed to meet were unavailable.

Zach was the only one who didn't head straight to his dorm. He was pretty tired, but it was manageable, so he decided to stop by Alzara's lab before anything else. After a night and a day, Zach hoped she would have made some progress.

It didn't need to be much as long as she had taken a step in the right direction. Zach had gotten a sense of urgency after hearing how many had disappeared from the streets of Basila.

Zach stepped into the lab, hopeful but not sure what to expect.
