Hours passed in slow motion for Jack's party as they waited for him to wake up. Everyone was curious about what happened.
According to Eliza, something was off. Not only was he tired physically but the look in his eyes wasn't as lively as he normally was. Yet she didn't allow anyone to enter his room or even glance at him. Eliza made sure that Jack wasn't disturbed and he was allowed his beauty sleep.
The drifting smells of the succulent lunches on the main floor's tavern started to fill the air. One by one the party found themselves drifting toward their private dining room and making themselves comfortable.
Being the furthest from the door, Rydel and Maynard cheered each other in excitement for the adventure waiting head. They were the first to notice Jack taking his time to enter the room, still with a distracted look in his eyes. "Jack, come! The lunch special is great."
