198. On their way

Once Maria had fallen asleep again, Remey and Su volunteered to ask around the guild to gather some winter clothing for her. Gil and Walker prepared some food for everyone since Midnight had started to hound them about being hungry, to appease her Walker gave her ten of the darkness crystals he still had stored away. Through the journey she had eaten about half of them. He wasn't sure how much it was influencing her growth but for good measure he pulled out some of the bones he kept for her to eat as well. Getting her scales and defenses stronger was definitely an all around benefit to the party, plus it might help her fly sooner. Having realized that she had yet to practice flapping her wings he had Onyx go outside with her and practice for a bit. This also got her off his case wanting more crystals.
