"Have everything you need for now, then?"

"Think so, yeah... 'm really sleepy."

"Okay. See you tomorrow, then."

Elaise leaves Sayuri to go back over to Amajina.

Who's still awake, if looking tiredly grouchy. "So, sleep?"

"Yeah. Looks like you could use it."

Mmmph.

Still, she's curled up and starting to drift off.

Elaise sets her own bed nearby, and lays down to sleep.

The night progresses without major disruption, and Mas wakes them all up in the predawn hours. 

Bluh this is still far too early.

Shinrei rolls out of bed easily and sets to breaking down camp.

Sayuri seems better at least, even if still unhappy - she's able to help heat up breakfast. 

And Amajina seems entirely recovered. She's helping their sensei with packing up and erasing signs of their presence.

Mas eyes Elaise. "Not a morning person?"

"Not unless I really have to be." Which she doesn't, right now.

Snort. "Fair." They lay down near her, apparently content to watch everyone else work.

Definitely a cat.

Elaise drags herself up to eat and contribute to the work of getting ready to travel.

Sayuri's pretty glad for help cleaning up after breakfast. 

They're ready to go soon enough. 

"We're continuing to the next base on our route. Low chance the Akatsuki come back this soon, but stay on your guard."

"Understood."

"I'll take the lead. That girl can be beside me." They nod to Elaise. 

"You know the route?"

They nod.

Then Elaise and Mas will lead the way.

Mas questions Elaise as they travel, especially on thoughts, knowledge, and observations about the areas they're passing through. Fewer thought experiment scenarios than their sensei tends to give during her traveling lessons. A lot of Mas's attention seems focused on Elaise's situational awareness - they ask about small details of things their group has already passed by several times. 

Small details aren't her strongest suit, but she knows enough to spot most potential threats, and can synthesize the little hints Mas gives to improve as the journey wears on.
