"Thank you," Cara chimed gratefully, setting her own plate down before sitting beside her brother. The two began to eat in relative quiet, both of their gazes once in a while trailing to Hecate and what he was doing, particularly when light began to shine from his general direction. Blinking, Cara stopped mid-bite to turn head to to see what he was up to. "Making tea?" She murmured quietly, her eyes shifting to Kiernan to find him shrug carelessly. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to be of their concern. Except, of course, when it was later revealed that his actions had indeed ben for their behalf. Blinking in surprise at his explanation and scolding tone, Cara stared up at him as his arms rejoined. Her head tilted slightly, finding that strange, but after a few moments she remembered her manners.

Rubbing one of her cheeks in a shy fashion, she nodded. "You're right. Thank you."

Chuckling, Kiernan nodded his agreement. "Yeah, I appreciate it." He accepted the plate with a grin, not hesitating to go ahead and give the warm tea a try.

The two resumed eating at a casual pace, both thoughtful and relatively quiet as they looked about absent-mindedly and tried to digest the happenings of the past days. It was all quite a bit to take in. Cara's being warned and sent home, meeting Kiernan with a woman (of all things), meeting Zed, the attack on Shilf, seeing Asleen, receiving help from these strangers... It all seemed like a string of intriguing coincidence to her. Kiernan dwelled on his chance meeting with Numira quite heavily, reviewing what she'd told him, what he now knew. There was so much to to find out for both siblings, much left unanswered and many ties not yet realized. They both stirred from this state of calmed thought as the door again opened.

Kiernan stood abruptly, not loudly, but certainly swift to act as his gaze caught Ixera. Numira. The image of her flashed in his mind and his muscles tensed in anticipation as he forced himself to silence as she instead chose to address Hecate first. Biting his lower lip quietly, he refrained from asking any unnecessary questions until they were addressed. So, now it was alright? Blinking, he allowed his muscles to relax again. She would be awake soon; Numira would be alright, after this. Letting out a sigh of relief, he was soon joined by Cara who only now stood after they had been spoken to. Smiling hesitantly as she moved to her brother's side, she patted his shoulder once, encouragingly.

"There are... too many, really." She spoke calmly, admitting to the flurry of questions hovering over both of their heads. Which to address first was the difficult part, at this point. Dare she broach the same topics Zed couldn't speak of? Certainly Kiernan had some too, but would he ask of Numira before she woke to answer what ones he had himself? Cara watched Kiernan rub his neck troubledly as the two moved to follow after her.

"We really appreciate the help, first of all. Numira is precious to him." Cara spoke up before allowing too much silence to pass, wishing to at least come across as grateful after having seen her and her brother come to a rough start. Kiernan said nothing of it, the fact already having been confirmed by this woman earlier. Then, hesitantly, she piped up again, "Can I ask just where this Kiranes is? Also, what the Iskander is?" They were at least the basics, in terms of those not tied too personally to Numira. "Why does she not react well with magic?"

Kiernan remained quiet for now, just glad to accept Numira's health for the moment though he did listen to his sister's questions.
