Kazi decided to stay outdoors and patrol the area rather than go inside. This time, there wasn't a single monster lingering in the area. Everybody could rest as they pleased. He wasn't alone though. Pauline tagged along, quiet and anxious. She was trying to make up for running away before. The hours passed and the sky began to lighten with the first hues of dawn.
"The sun is up," Kazi noted. "Let's take a break."
Pauline nodded, her relief evident. Beside one of the long tables, Kazi set-up a picnic, flattening a blanket down. Without trees and fresh green grass, it was rough. As for food, he muttered, "Open inventory," and brought out a basket full of bread and almond croissants. "A friend of mine works at a bakery and any leftover baskets she gives to me in case of an emergency," he explained. "Good, isn't it?"
Pauline ate the croissant with a nod and thank you. She stole glances at Kazi.
