Xaden had spent the remainder of his entire early hours of the morning awake.

He had been unable to go back to sleep since he and Erik had killed the beast last night.

"Sure." Xaden nodded even though he himself did not think he was okay.

The others still did not know about the incidence with the Ryliat last night.
