The next morning, Damian woke up to find Toph already gone from his side. With a quick search with his mana sense, he located Toph in the neighboring room, which Sam currently occupied. Feeling reassured, Damian relaxed. Sam often took Toph along whenever he fell asleep—it wasn't anything new.
He sensed a few other presences nearby, causing him to frown. After getting refreshed and taking a bath, Damian went to the next room. It was already morning, and he was ready for a meal. Though he wasn't exactly starving, he could eat, and he figured his young body could use the extra nutrition; he felt a bit too skinny for his liking. Asking Sam if he wanted to join, to which Sam agreed, Damian brought Toph along, and the three of them headed down to the inn's tavern for breakfast.
