Canillas thought that they would arrive at the inn not far from the predicted time that was informed by the Barasca knight as the answer to the question that was asked by his wife, as he had also felt tired of maintaining his sleeping position.
He really wanted to change his position, stretch his body, and jump on the ground.
But until his wife sighed more than three times, they had not arrived yet. Thus, he decided to stop pretending to sleep, as he also felt he had given his wife more time to calm down—enough time to subside her restlessness after finding out their intimate gesture.
Feeling thirsty, Canillas slid from his seat to the left and took a leather water canteen that lay on the chair across from him, which he occupied before he took a seat beside his wife. With the water canteen in his hand, Canillas then pulled the lid open and took a few sips to wet his dry mouth and throat.
