Regis nodded, relieved. He looked down at the blanket, smoothing a fold beneath his thumb.
"We should stop taking quests for a while."
"All of them?"
"All of them."
Aurelia watched him for a moment before nodding. "I'll let the Guild know. Until when?"
"I don't know yet."
Saying it left him waiting for another question. Aurelia simply reached for the paper she had brought and began writing.
"Do you want to gather everyone?"
"No. We can tell them when we see them." His fingers went still. "And tell Perto he doesn't need to decide anything because we're home now. The same goes for Morgana."
"I will."
Regis leaned back. He had expected the conversation to take longer.
"Is that all?"
"For now." Aurelia looked up from the page. "Was there something else you wanted to do?"
He opened his mouth, then closed it.
Usually, there was always something.
"…No."
"Then rest."

By afternoon, Regis had made his way to the study.
