Jaclyn gave Nyra a small wave, and headed out of the caravan. The healer came in just as she was leaving. She looked Nyra over, and murmured, "Just get some rest, dear. Try not to worry." The elderly woman gave her a crinkled smile, and went out again.
Alice leaned into him, stretching up on her tiptoes to wrap her arms around his neck. This was the area where she lost control.

Cayli followed after Jaclyn after giving the sorceress and healer a quick 'g'night'. She wandered out into the cool night air, inhaling deeply. Deciding to sleep outside again, she went to find her bedroll and the rest of her belongings.
Nyra smiled weakly as Jaclyn and Cayli left, and murmured a 'thank you' to the healer. She laid down on top of the bed, staring up at the ceiling of the caravan, lost in thought. Finally, she simply drifted off to sleep on top of the sheets.
Joren let his own arms settle against her waist, his mind centered in on her and nothing else.

Jaclyn went to find her brother. He acted a little strange when he heard Nyra was there, and mumbled some excuse, heading off on his own into the forest. Jaclyn decided to just let it be, and followed in suit of Cayli finding her belongings, and preparing for bed.
Alice was first to break away for air- even though it wasn't really necessary, she still liked to be able to smell him as much feel and see and taste him. Her breathing was heavy and ragged.

Ready to curl up somewhere and sleep, Cayli dragged her bedroll out by the lake, though far enough away so that she wouldn't roll into the water. There were only a few caravans to go around, and she didn't mind sleeping out in the open. Crawling under the covers, she rested her arms behind her head and let her eyes wander across the sky, tracing patterns in the stars.
Joren did the same after a few moments, his own breathing uneven. When he leaned back in to kiss her again, he ignored the little part in the back of his mind that was asking him what in the gods' names he was doing.

Most of the others were either putting up little tents around the lake, or just sprawling out on the ground like Cayli. Jaclyn did the same, as did Azera, who had been busy arranging their camp. Both spread out bedrolls near Cayli, murmuring goodnights to eachother. Sage curled up next to Cayli, in cat form again, purring softly.
Alice broke away again, but still held him close to her, trying to get a grip on her sanity. "I thought you said you wanted to hunt?" she asked in a breathless voice.

Cayli smiled and giggled softly, reaching down to stroke Sage's head. Finally, she, too, drifted off to sleep.
Joren swallowed heavily, and pulled away. Have I lost my mind? he questioned himself. "Y-yeah," he mumbled.

Alice giggled softly. "We don't have to, though... I'm not complaining about anything..."

Joren laughed and leaned in to give her a last, quick kiss before turning back. "Well, what happened to my self control?" he called over his shoulder as he vanished through the trees. A couple minutes later, he was back, his eyes a bright red. "That's better," he murmured, wiping a bit of deer blood from his bottom lip.

Alice had flopped down onto the ground, waiting patiently for his return. She sat up from where she'd lain on her side, giving a bright smile.

Joren returned the expression. "Should we head back and help the others guard camp?" he suggested, gesturing in the direction they'd come.

" I suppose..." Alice shrugged, hopping to her feet.

Joren nodded, grabbed her hand, and dashed back off toward the camp. When he arrived, he found the vampires stationed around camp. Ravyre looked simply bored, sitting on a boulder near the edge of the lake. Feren was leaning against on of the caravans. Maven was on the side opposite Ravyre, and Leon was exploring around the edge of the lake.

Eden and Demi had reappeared as well. Demi was sitting on the beach near Ravyre's boulder, trailing her fingers through the sand in random designs. Eden had wandered a little ways into the forest on the far side of the camp from the lake, but still visible. Alice kept hold of Joren's hand as they came back into the camp, glancing around to make sure everything was settled down.

Feren looked up and nodded at them, signaling that all was well.

Alice sighed softly, and took the lead, pulling Joren toward a place where they could sit to wait out the night. - - - - - - - - Aaron was up early, setting by the lake, facing the rising sun, with her legs crossed and eyes closed.
