After their discussions that night, it was concluded that they could not remain in the forest forever. They would all return to the palace along with Botch, Mileka and Rug come the next morning.
Much to Rug's dismay.
However, Botch and Mileka were far too thrilled to spend some time within the royal palace of Trago to pass up such an opportunity. So they practically threatened the older man to accept the invitation.
Long after everyone in the cottage had fallen asleep, with Rakavi and Bashan laying on the floor in the sitting room along with the three elves, while Neriah and her husband rested in the room… Barak and Neriah remained awake doing nothing in particular.
They just laid in bed, facing each other as though they both feared to fall asleep.
