 Chuin woke with a start, soaked in a cold sweat.  He'd had that
 nightmare again.  He never really remembered much, except running and
 the unending fear.  He took a deep, steadying breath and got out of
 bed.  Opening the shutters, he saw the first rays of the dawn.  He had
 that breakfast meeting with that one girl from Alari.

 He stretched and slowly got dressed.  He, then, brushed out his long
 hair and tied it up into a ponytail.  Downstairs, the only people up
 were Blake, the blind kid, and the barmaid.  Did they ever go to bed??

 Blake smiled at him and walked up as Chuin sat down.  "Can I get you
 anything?"

 "Tea for now.  I'm to meet someone.  I'll order something to eat when
 she arrives."  He ignored Blake's raised eyebrows.  When his tea came,
 he sat, sipping his tea, and waited for the girl to come down.
