Helios woke up just before dawn the next day. The crisp air greeted him, and he could hear the soft rustle of the wind as well as the movements around him.
He stretched his arms to shake away the lethargy and saw that everyone else was already clearing up. The fire was gone, and their items were all in the space.
Raz seemed to have just woken up though, having already been replaced by Puto as the nightwatch.
Because he was the employer, Helios didn't have to do this. It felt comfortable and refreshing, and he definitely was maximizing all those gold coins that he would have to pay for eventually.
Speaking of that… that was hundreds of golds… he'd have to work a lot to pay that back quickly enough. Although Jonathan didn't give him a deadline, it wouldn't do to extend it for more than a year!
Hopefully, Sahara was really in Bleuelle. He wouldn't have the face to declare that 'he'd take care of her' if he fell deeper into debt!
