The girls and company made themselves as comfortable as they could outside of Al'var. The vehicle was room enough for a few to sleep, and an awning had been erected over outside mats on the ground. It was midday. There was a delightful breeze, but it was still very warm. Jiji went with the four girls to a spring where they could clean up and wash their clothes. Solomon was on a mat in the grass. His eyes were closed as he rested in tranquility. Funf and Skarg made a trip to a nearby merchant, purchasing various goods including alcohol, tobacco, and Vae'yiri stankweed.
