The sun was inundating his room when Alex woke up in the morning. Tina was nowhere to be seen, and he felt reinvigorated. The day was beautiful, and the birds were singing on the horizon. Alex slowly got up, feeling his muscles stretching and the sleeplessness slowly fading.
He yawned and walked towards the bathroom, where he washed his face. Soon, he was down the stairs, and everyone was already there, sitting at the table and eating.
There was no trace of hostility, like in the previous day. Just good camaraderie and Ravi being grumpy at the far end of the table. Alex had learned to avoid talking with the man early, or he would be the one getting cranky with time.
Alex was most surprised when he saw Rel'Tir sitting on the table beside Bogath and eating bread with a groggy complexion.
