Journeys

When Tyaron finally woke the others, Hallindel noticed with some surprise it has only a little while before sunrise. The light of the distant rising sun was but just piercing through the blue veil of night. Why had they let her sleep until morning? Hadn’t they agreed to watch in turn?

Alariel had coaxed last night’s fire back alight for some warm tea and Hallindel joined the others for breakfast.

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Hallindel asked. “I thought we each would keep watch in turn this night.”

Tyaron looked just a tad guilty. “You were sleeping so peacefully, and I was not tired so I woke no one. But have no fears, there will be more nights to come.”

Hallindel felt a little guilty as well, and annoyed for not having woken up herself. She felt blood rising to her cheeks, hoping she could pretend it was just the hot tea.

“Ha-“ Halweg began but his sister cut him off.

“I just don’t want to be coddled, that is all,” she said, “I don’t want to feel like I’m escorted to Rivendell instead of travelling there with friends. Next time, please just wake me.”

She bit her tongue to stop herself. Now she had probably offended them, when they had meant well with letting her sleep. Not the best way to start a journey.

“I better go pack,” she mumbled embarrassed and rose quickly to gather her bed roll and other belongings.
