Ladonna cautiously approaches the warden. "I don't recall getting your name," she says. "And might I ask why you are in such a hurry?"

“Are the poachers planning to make their escape soon?” Lillian suggests.

"Did the count not tell you? I am called Sidhanar," the warden replies. "And yes...that is my concern. If they pack up their camp and move it may be weeks before I can track them down again."

"How long have they been here?" Ladonna asks.

"A few weeks, as far as I can tell," Sidhanar replies. "They move camp often, though; which is smart of them. Makes them harder to track."

"Well, hopefully they are still there by the time we get there," Ladonna says. "Lillian, take some of my rations," she adds.

Ladonna gives half of her last ration to Lillian, which isn't enough to satisfy either of them, but it's something. The others eat their own food, and Sidhanar goes to scout out the area while they eat.
"Ladonna, I've been meaning to ask," Jonas begins. "Did you..say anything to the garrison commander recently? I went to see him the other day to tell him I had found a sponsor, and he seemed suddenly indecisive about letting me join the guard, like he had lost his enthusiasm for it."

"I did speak to him, yes," Ladonna says. "Of course, it wasn't my intention of messing things up for you. I was trying to help by finding out what needed to be done to get you working," she explains.

"And you didn't trust me to do that on my own? You didn't even think to ask me about it first?" Jonas asks, frowning.

"It wasn't that I didn't trust you. I was just a little worried. This is a huge adjustment for the both of us," Ladonna explains. "I was afraid that it might be too overwhelming, so I was trying to help."

"You can't do everything on your own," Jonas points out. "If this is going to work at all, we need to be a team."

"As I said, it is an adjustment from Buho," Ladonna says. "I have to trust that you are going to do what needs to be done," she explains.

Lillian tries not to intrude on Liala's conversation.

"Yes, you should," Jonas agrees. "But we can leave it at that for now."
The rest of the night passes without incident. The following morning, the party gets up and starts breaking down camp. Sidhanar does not assist, but nervously paces while waiting. The weather is still clear, but the wind is stronger and cooler. It may get below freezing tonight at this rate.
Jonas, however, seems to be back at full health after the fight with the Wyld Boys a week ago.
=============
It is now Dymin 29th, 8 AM.
Jonas regains 1 HP. He is now at full health.
