[Anastasia]

Thus you sleep, dream and rest. You awaken the next morning with Wood asleep besides your bed and breakfast laid out for you. You feel good and refreshed.

Go ahead, this is leading somewhere.

[Nephrite]

Moore stretches out and pats Wood's head a few times before he slips out of bed to eat!

[Anastasia]

Thus you eat. As you enjoy that? "Moore," Cresiel calls, knocking on your door. "We have a duty today."

[Nephrite]

"Come in." Moore says. "Let's hear it."

[Anastasia]

Cresiel comes in, "We are on reserve duty today. Should any action be intercepted and be unable to extricate themselves, we are to go and attempt to save them. This requires us being on alert and ready to go at a moment's notice. We are strong enough to crush most enemies, a bludgeon to be used in case it is needed. We will go in with minimal information and make things right."

[Nephrite]

"So not really any time to prepare, so short-term spells are out." Moore says with a nod. "All right. We'll all be ready, then."

[Anastasia]

"Have any preparations that last long term pre cast," Cresiel agrees to that. "We're gathering with books in the meeting rooms, so we can at least read and play games while we wait."

Any prep here?

[Nephrite]

Moore's standard spells for himself, there's nothing he has long-term for other people.

Note to self, see the status of their own mission readiness arch.

[Anastasia]

Thus the five of you gather. Dice and a deck of cards are out to game if you wish, books are stacked up and there's time as...

Set yourself up with how you're passing this as you wait, then gimme a d100.

[Nephrite]

Moore will spend his time reading whatever books are nearby!

An hour and then another passes uneventfully. Kaja slowly sharpens his scimitars while Cresiel waits silently. Xandra reads while Jetina begins to pace.

"Peace," Xandra doesn't even look up, "The patience to wait as a sentinel is a talent one cultivates."

"By waiting a lot?" Jetina asks back, "I'd rather be healing at least, rather than waiting and saving my energies here."

[Nephrite]

"While I don't disagree," Moore says, looking up from his book, "If there were needs for your skills to triage or act as a healer, I am certain you would have been called on."

[Anastasia]

Jetina gets up and paces, hands behind her back.

"Waiting builds patience," Xandra replies as she turns the page of her book. "Much as practice builds sword skill."

"Mm." Kaja murmurs, barely heard. "Some times of waiting are easier to endure than others. This is a hunter's wait, with no guarantee of prey arriving."

"Still, I feel so...after everything that's happened, sitting here and waiting feels like a waste." Jetina says as she paces.

[Nephrite]

"I'll see if we can find you a regular rotation in one of the groups that needs a healer." Moore says. "But for now, pacing won't help you."
