The early morning passes easily enough, even after breakfast.
Celeste takes May out to go and explore the city of Kelros, as Roland ascertains it'll be a few hours before we can actually leave, given there's still some negotiating to be done with Kelros, and more importantly it'll take time to load any gifted supplies up.

She's slowly coming out of her shell and getting less shy, but it's still a process.
