Flight to Ecthys
Though disappointed, Defi did not have more than a night to lament that Leraine's cousin was still giving him misfortune. Sarel unceremoniously roused him from his pre-dawn meditation with the Current that went hand in hand with healing the land under the sansu trees.
He was immensely relieved that he'd milked the slimes first, not willing to brave the colder air outside the house this morning, or he'd have to make the woman wait over an hour as he did the morning chores.
He did a last survey of the house as Sarel made a quick breakfast, doing a last tidying up and distributing the kilograms of hybrid Naranj herb he'd harvested yesterday, before shouldering his travelsack and following Sarel to the pier.
He took Turq with him, giving Mite the rest of the zaziphos that was in the storage barrels.
