She frowned as her lithe body gracefully leaned forward, and leaped to her feet. She also searched the darkness;
"If you heard something, then it's probably something. . ."
Nexus glanced beside her and saw a pile of ash at her feet, along with some stubs of wood that met together at a point, forming a some kind of horizontal tripod;
"Mon," he called softly; "Did you actually light a fire?"
She didn't lie; "It turns out I overestimated my own strength. . ." her lips was pressed in anger;
". . I lit a fire with the hope that the heat would keep me awake, but I ended up warming myself to sleep." she looked away;
"I'm sorry but I fell asleep on the watch Ni Yang. The battle earlier on drained me of a rich portion of my mana and stamina. It seems I was just running on the post adrenaline rush. . ."
She was a professional. She gave no excuses whatsoever, and Nexus appreciated that.
