Compared to their first day in Crystal Lake City, the rest of their vacation suited Talauia's description of the city very well. It was comfortable and… sleepy. Aledia's ritual with bloodstones had done a great deal to restore Ashlynn's energy and by the time they left as day turned to twilight, Ashlynn had recovered enough that Jacques didn't even notice anything amiss. Though, in truth, that could have been Jacques's lack of observational skills more than anything else. 

The one luxury souvenir that the witches treated themselves to was a pair of hammered copper bracelets set with polished stones in the shape of trees. They weren't expensive items, they spent a handful of silver tails on each of them, but to Ashlynn and Heila, they were a precious reminder of the time they spent together.
