In the morning, Isabella does her best to extricate herself without prematurely waking Adarin. They don't need to leave on anything like a tight schedule.
She's not nearly graceful enough to reliably manage this, of course.

Isabella is not, in fact, entirely sure she heard it. She glances up at Path, who shrugs the wing which isn't in contact with the snoozing Vernaia; he doesn't know either.
She snuggles him. Maybe she'll bring it up later, she's not sure.

After a while, she decides the thing to do is probably to have Path ask Vernaia. This will probably involve the conversation happening while she and Adarin are a fair distance away from their daemons, since New Kystle is apparently not hospitable to same, but that might be a good cushion for the tentative awkwardness of the question.
Snuggles.
Snuggles.

"I'm actually not sure if she has caffeinated tea. It might be all various herbal fruity things."

"Awww, but you shouldn't have to suffer," she says, finally sitting up. "Maybe she does have caffeinated tea. I know Charlie has caffeinated coffee..."

"Okay." She gets all the way up, and stretches, and beckons Path to her shoulder; he nuzzles Vern and goes to his witch.

Vern's a little more coherent than Adarin in the morning - she nuzzles Path back.
Adarin yawns again, and eventually meanders his way up. General decency clothing goes on, then... It's time to stumble off to find tea. He retrieves Vern, deciding that since she is the coherent one she will direct him. Maybe.
"If you run into a wall," she tells him, "I will peck you."
"Got it," replies Adarin, and he puts her down.

When he manages to find the kitchen, Isabella has poured him a cup of coffee from Charlie's pot, and brought out Ranata's tea selection to look at.
"Most people like cream or milk, and sugar, in their coffee," she tells him. "But up to you how you want to try it."
Breakfast, it turns out, is pancakes, all already made with blueberries in them and keeping warm in the oven.
