Kalir arose and quietly and made his way downstairs. He had a quiet breakfast alone then decided to wander around a bit.
"I'm fine, I must have just caught a bad breath, I'm fine, I could do with a bit of water though," Avery said as he came upon Avery and Ajada.
"Is everything all right?" Kalir said as he approached. Ajada looked suspiciously at his sudden arrival, and Kalir gave her an even stare right back. "This trouble-maker is not attacking you is she?"
Ajada gave a startled gasp of indignation at Kalir's accusation. "I am not a trouble-maker," she said under her breath.
Kalir nodded, mocking disbelief at her statement. He turned to Avery. "You are all right, though, yes?"
"Of course," she nodded. Kalir could not tell whether she was feigning assuredness or not, but he did not press her. He looked around, but did not see any of the others anywhere. He guessed they had not arisen.
"May I travel with you today?" Kalir said, "For I do not know the city well at all."
"All right," Avery said, "But let us now go and await the arising of the others."
Kalir nodded and they silently went back inside. Once inside, Kalir treated himself to another breakfast. He was not used to such amounts of food at his disposal at home, so he decided to treat himself whilst he was not at home, at least for that day. He sat eating, chatting with Avery and sometimes Ajada, and awaiting for the others to arrive.
