Iris wakes up in the morning feeling great. Last night had been the single greatest time of her life and the festivities and the good times she had with her friends had continued in her dreams during the night, so she was in a fantastic mood upon waking up. She looks to her side and sees Rasul, her husband, lying there still sound asleep. Just seeing him warmed her heart tremendously and made her feel like the absolute luckiest girl in the whole world. She carefully got out of bed, making sure not to wake Rasul up, and she put on a bra and her shirt. Then she remembered the plague and their mission. Everything came back to her; the mutations, the desolated kingdom, Dente's betrayal and the hands, her father's death. She had managed to forget about all of these things during the night before, and as it came back to her all at once she broke down and burst into tears. She fell on her knees next to the bed with her wet face in her palms and tried unsuccessfully to keep it down for Rasul's sake. She felt sadness for having the weight of all this return to her and she felt guilt for having completely forgotten about it for several hours yesterday. How could she have let these things slip her mind? And why couldn't she stop herself from crying?

Tennor woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. The previous night had been a welcome change of pace from the harsh reality. A reminder of the world they'd been fighting to protect. He'd missed that. Leaving his home, Tennor walked to the lake and jumped in. As much as he enjoyed the safety, he felt cooped up here. While he wasn't the adventurous youth he once had been, the very fact he couldn't leave made him feel claustraphobic. The water felt good on his skin, but even it felt almost stale. He was only swimming in a shallow pool, nothing like the rivers and lakes he and his people had lived among. Surfacing, he dejectesly sat on the shore and stared into the water, just... thinking.

Mailan awakens to an empty bed. Yawning, she throws the blanket atop her to the side. She quickly changes into a clean outfit and grabs an apple from a table and heads outside. The mid-morning sun blinds her as she opens the door to venture outside. As her eyes adjust, she looks around, spotting her Zora and smiling sleepily. She shuffled towards the edge of the lake and plops down next to Tennor, stretching her arms and then offering the apple to him.

Rasul wakes up to the sound of cryingm uncontrolled, unbridled. He turns to see his Wife, his beloved Iris, in tears. He turns to face her, getting next to her and holding her in a lovong embrace "Its alright, Iris. We can beat this. We just need to find a cure."

Feeling Rasul's arms around her calmed Iris down a bit so she could breathe more steadily again. After a while of catching her breath and wiping her tears she put her arms around Rasul too and burrowed her face between his neck and his right shoulder. "I love you," she said. "I don't know how I could ever go on without you."

"And I love you, Iris" Rasus says, putting his hands on the back of her head, running his fingers through her silken white hair. "So whats the next step? Eventually we should visit the crash site of the Meteor. But i feel maybe we should look at the Domain and the Lake first for anything that might be able to help"

"We should discuss it with the others," Iris replies and gets fully dressed and ready to leave the house. "I don't want to slack around any longer. It's time to step up our game. We should gather everyone for a meeting."

Rasul started to get dressed as well in his travelling clothes, made for comfort and stealth. he exits his house and walks to the pond where Tennor is wading. Rasul put fishing pole on his to-do list as he sat on a log by the communal fire

Tennor wordlessly accepted the apple and smiled at the girl. He toyed with the idea of talking to her about his feeling of confinement, but he knew that it was best that they didnt leave often. Ultimately, he chose to keep it to himself.

Mailan sighs. “I had a dream last night. About the desert. The illness. That... there’s something bigger than us. Bigger than the Hands.” She looks into his eyes. “It didn’t seem right. But, it was just a dream.” She looks back out over the lake. “You know, truthfully, I’m not ready to get back out there yet. But we have to, eventually.”

"Don't push yourself too hard, Mailan," Tennor cautions, "We have to leave eventually, but for now... take your time to heal. The world can wait." He worried about her sometimes. She was definitely improving, but she'd probably put herself out there too early for her body to handle. Not that he wouldn't do the same in her position, but... well, there are some things he cares about more than himself.
