gen, you viper
Cain and Amarina needed to sleep before any such adventure could be undertaken, that much was clear. While they did so, the others took turns resting as well, and Nima and Edare also spoke with the villagers and had supplies gathered.
Eventually they set off in a low but sturdy flatboat, designed for carrying goods and occasional passengers up and down the river. It was not overly spacious, but there was enough room for them and their supplies to fit comfortably.
Or at least, comfortably in the physical sense. Nima had not said a word to Edare and very little to the others, and though she was not a particularly talkative person, her silence seemed angry rather than just a natural state. Instead she had chosen a corner of the boat where she could be as far from Edare as possible, and claimed she was going to rest. Admittedly, she had been busier than the others that previous night, meeting with Adfri and the military leaders of the village, but- She seemed more to be staring at the passing water than doing any sleeping.
"This is... Absolutely amazing," Edare said after a long stretch of quiet with nothing but the passing scenery to hold anyone's interest. "I've traveled like this before," he admitted. "But not nearly so fast."
Perhaps it was the urgency of the situation that caused Amarina and Cain to reach such speeds against the riverflow, or the fact that this river was not as fast as the one on the journey Edare was comparing to. But he suspected that their abilities with their element also far succeeded those of a more common person.
"I feel like I have nothing to do but marvel," he said with a small laugh. "Can I get either of you something to eat?"
They had plenty of rations now, and it was important they kept their strength up.
