Ivy was seated at a small table near Meoldy, naturally. She was bouncing up and down lightly, which was either result of her exceitement, or the ale. Ale, she had grown far too fond of it. A trait undoubtably picked up by her father when she was but a lass. She drained a mug. It must have been her third, possibly fourth one, it was too hard to tell at the moment. Melody watched her bemusedly for a moment, as she tried to settle down. At last with a hiccup, she stopped bouncing around, and felt dreadfully tired.

We've come this far. A familiar site, no doubt, but it means we've made progress. she thought to herself, as she watched everyone slowly pile out of the common room and into their own rooms for the night. She noticed Madoc peering out the window. Now, Ivy longed to talk to Madoc, ask him what he thought of the trip, and he was very kind to her in her tardiness...but she knew that trying to go talk to someone in her current state would not be a good idea. In fact, it was a bad idea that she ever rolled out the ale in the first place. She'd be fine the next day though, she usually was, and the excitement would make up for any wan feelings in the morn anyway.

Pondering about this, Ivy found herself stumbling off towards her room. She managed to gather that she'd have a lot to think about later on, but she couldn't tonight. This was Ivy's true way of journeying. Not to think about anything, except the path she was on, which in any event, was the only thing she could think about at the moment. Any thoughts of death or injuries, or of losing her friends were lost.

I'll talk to Madoc in the morning, I've been meaning to ask him how he fares so far. Just to be kind... she thought, and glanced towards him.

As she walked away she noticed Melody was bright red, and gazing at Tom. I should get to know some of the others on the journey. It seems that Melody is quite occupied with Tom at the while. she continued telling herself mentally. She stifled a snigger, and walked away swiftly until she reached her room. Once she got there, she threw herself on her matress and fell immediately asleep.
