Sessativa sitting next to Durgan in quiet conversation finally looks up and around them to notice all the little eyes watching them. Instinctively she grabs Durgan and asks him, "You don't suppose what ever is out there is going to come any closer?" Remembering her resolution to act bravely she lets go of Durgan suddenly almost as if he is diseased and decides to cover her fearful actions up and make another circle around camp clutching her staff and peering out into the darkness with fear.
After their watch passes and none of the eyes come any closer or attempt to attack, Sessativa wakes the others pointing out to them that they are all being watched and make sure not to fall asleep.
Rising in the morning Sessativa begins her daily ritual of preparing her spell and cooking breakfast. Packing her things she makes herself ready to go.

Coron and Micaiah's watch passes uneventfully. When morning breaks, Coron stokes the fire for Sessativa and begins packing up his things. He eats breakfast with the others and is eager to get underway.
Durgan relaxes and lets an arm embrace Sessativa. He smiles, his grey eyes shining, then sits confused as she looks down. He replies to her question, "I sure hope not, for their own sake. I would hate to cave in the... I mean, to harm whatever foolish beast tresspasses our camp. But I am unsure about this natural domain, it never applied to living in the city. What I do know is the position of the stars means we have half an hour to change watch."
As he joins Sessativa under her canvas, he leans close and whispers, "I don't have much experience with family in general, but I think that, when you know better, opposing your parents is a very brave act."
Come morning, he stays in bed late, tired from the long night. He packs first before taking food and walking as he eats. When he finishes breakfast, he mumbles a prayer for a whole hour, also on foot and stumbling occasionally on branches and rocks he doesn't notice.
Sessativa still remembering her conversation with Durgan the night before, and remembering that she never did get up the courage to ask him what he thought or felt towards her, decided to ask for some help in the matter.
"Coron, can I talk to you for a minute?" Sessativa moves toward the front of the line to Coron, getting wacked in the face with a branch as she does so. She tries to pretend the sting from the branch didn't effect her. Whispering to Coron she asks, "Can uh...Can you help me? Well... I couldn't get up the courage to ask myself... So.... Can you ask Durgan what he thinks of me?.... As in does he like me?" Blushing profusely at having to ask Coron for help. "Guys talk about stuff like that right?" Casting nervous glances at Durgan as she whispers to Coron to make sure he can't hear them.
Out of Character:: This might have gone differently if Micaiah was here to role-play this out with. Works out though, as I feel Coron gets left out of conversations with Sessativas one track mind!

Durgan looks across the distance to the keep and a beaming smile forms across his face. He begins to dance and leap in joy saying, "Yes! After so much hardship we found it!" He goes to embrace Sessativa and kisses her cheek, his unkempt fuzz scratching her slightly, and holds her looking deep into her eyes and smiling.
Once the elation has died down, he steps back and says "Ah, sorry, Sessaativa. I hope I didn't go over the line... Anyway, the cowards took the only rope I had. The long way down looks to take much time. I don't mind, I'm overjoyed just to see this building! Maybe we should follow the cliff eastwards."

Sessativa taken by surprise at Durgans elated embrace and kiss feels herself flush with fever. The warmth of his body and even the scratchiness of his scruff stirs her desire. Finding herself speachless for the moment until he releases her and apologizes. "Line? You can cross it anytime!" She says with a giggle.
Coming to her senses she blushes at her spontaneous remark. "You forget I have a rope. Although I don't know about scaling the cliffside." Sessativa says trying to change the subject and continues to smile at Durgans relief and happiness. "At least now we know where the ruins are."
Sessativa smiles from ear to ear while following the group along the cliff eastwards reveling in the thought of Durgans embrace.
Coron was happy to finally see the ruins and let out a victorious yell.
"Whoo hoooo! We found it! We should get as close as we can today, and start exploring first thing in the morning."
Coron walked with the group as they looked for a way down. As he walked, he daydreamed about what they might find in the ruins.
"Do you hear that?" Sessativa looks quizzically around the group. "There's something in the trees below us." She whispers not wanting to alert what ever it is of their presence. Sessativa grips her staff in both hands readying herself for whatever may transpire.
