When Aureus and Erlos moved towards the forest, though they did not let the other two know, their departure didn't go unnoticed. A war veteran like Morpheus wouldn't let his vigilance down just because he hadn't been active for the past decades. However, he had little interest in why those two young men sneaked away since had a bigger problem at hand.
He and Ember were left alone.
Ember was helping Morpheus to roast the fish though he didn't need any help. When he held the first fish to clean it before skewering it to a stick and propping it in between two rocks on opposite ends of the fire. With bright eyes, Ember tried to copy everything he did to the second fish like an obedient little student.
"Am I doing it right, Morph?" she asked as she carefully placed the stick on the arranged rocks, such that the skewered fish could roast without needing to hold it over the fire..
