Lucivar laughed. Sometimes, he enjoyed teasing his trainer a bit too much, and this was one of those times. Inwardly, he wondered when Eclipse would finally get fed up with it and make a move.

Belle chuckled and stood up, starting to gather up plates from the people who had finished. She yawned briefly before she gathered up another couple plates, her eyes half-closed. Eclipse watched her carefully, not quite ready to make his move just yet.

Andy handed Belle her plate as the other trainer went by, figuring that Sess wasn't about to let her go any time soon. At least this time, she wouldn't have to worry about him sleeping without a bedroll... He would probably insist on staying in her tent. Not that she minded much.

Eclipse stood and walked over to Belle, taking the plates and murmuring to her. She frowned a little and shook her head.

"Not that tired," she muttered. "I'm fine."

"Go lay down," Eclipse ordered. "You need to rest, Belle."

She hesitated for another moment before she sighed and nodded, going over to where her tent was partially set up. Duo ran after her to help her finish setting it up.

Andy didn't realize how tired she was until she found herself falling asleep against Sess. Blinking, she tried to wake herself up a little more, and Sess noticed.

"Come," he said, helping her up. "You need to sleep. Today has been a long day." Andy opened her mouth to protest, but it ended up turning into a yawn.

"Alright," she conceeded. Before she knew it, he was taking her to her tent.

"Go on and go to sleep," he said. "I will join you once I make sure the rest of our group is taken care of."

Belle changed into pajamas and settled down in her tent, Duo sleeping in there with her as he normally did. Except Eclipse kicked him out to go share a tent with Seth for the night, who looked a little put out and the idea of having to camp all the time. Eclipse slipped into Belle's tent once everyone else had gone to bed.

Andy was already asleep by the time Sess came into the tent again. Quietly, he laid down beside her and gathered her into his arms. He knew she was a deep sleeper, so she wouldn't wake up if he moved her a little. Slowly, he fell into the first decent sleep he'd had in weeks.

Belle woke early the next morning, surprised to find Elenon in her tent, sleeping near her. Shaking her head a little, she got up and dressed, being careful not to disturb him, before she left, heading outside to stretch her legs a bit and sit and think for a while. She was still there by the time Seth got up and came out.

"You okay?" Seth asked softly.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Belle shot him a smile. "Just thinking. Didn't sleep very well."

"Sorry."

Andy woke a while later, and she was only partially surprised to find herself gathered comfortably into Sess' arms. Turning slightly, she saw that he was still asleep. Carefully, she managed to get up without waking him, and got dressed. Once she was dressed, she left her tent to see who was awake.

Belle and Seth were sitting by the remnants of the fire talking, with a few of the bishis up and about. Seth looked over when Andy emerged and got up, walking over to go talk to her for a bit while Belle helped put everything away.

"Sleep well?" he asked with a little smile.

"I slept fine," Andy replied, doing her absolute best not to blush. Glancing around, she saw her Hiei and Lucivar helping to deconstruct their part of the camp. "I guess I'm up a bit early... That's weird," she said.

Seth laughed a bit. "Late sleeper?" he guessed, going to get a bottle of water from his pack. "I usually sleep in, too, but I guess I'm eager to get going today. Small miracle, that is."

"I would sleep all day if they'd let me," Andy replied. "Then again, everyone turned in early last night, so that might be part of it. None of my guys bothered you after I went to bed, did they?"

"Well Lucivar, Lucifer, Thomas, and a couple of others came in and played poker with Duo and I until the wee hours of the morning, but it was fun." Seth smiled. "It was really fun, actually. Just hanging out."

"And, of course, now you want your own," Belle said as she passed with a grin.

"Well that's kinda why I'm here." Seth grinned, unabashed.

"And I'm betting Kaelas lounged about by the fire all night and the dragons made themselves as comfortable as they could," Andy said. "None of that surprises me in the least." She grinned. "I've heard that Lucivar is half-way decent at poker, so he probably held his own pretty well."

Seth nodded. "Yeah. I got creamed, though." He laughed a little. "It was fun anyway. Thomas suggested we play strip poker with you and Belle."

"He tries things like that," Belle said dryly. "He and Lucifer both. Honestly. Men." Rolling her eyes, she went to go fold a tent.

"When Thomas says things like that, don't listen to him," Andy advised. "Things like that fall under the heading of Bad Ideas. Now, if it was strip poker just between the guys, that's a different story."

"Ooooo, now there's an idea," Belle said with a grin as she passed them again. "I like that idea. Keep that in your head, Andy, in case we need a good pick-me-up one night."

Seth laughed and shook his head at the two of them.

Andy laughed.

"I'll remember it," she promised. She grinned at the look on Seth's face. "Trust me, with the number of pretty men we have hanging around, watching them play strip poker would be a real treat."

"Should I be glad I don't play poker?" Sess asked as he wrapped an arm around her from behind.

"Lucivar could teach you," Andy replied, grinning.

Belle grinned. "I'm sure he could. Or Thomas, or Lucifer. That might be fun." She chuckled and shook her head a little. "Although you may want to save the strip poker games for a more private place." She grinned at Sess and Andy.

"Alright, enough teasing," Seth said, interrupting her. "Come on, let's go finish putting everything away so we can go."

Andy blushed brightly at Belle's implication.

"Enough, you," she said. She nodded at Seth's suggestion. "Taking down camp and getting on the road sounds good."

Belle laughed a little and went to go help put everything away, still cheerful. By the time they left almost half an hour later she was still in a good mood, though quieter. She kept an eye open as she led the group along the trail.

Seth stayed back a bit with Andy and Sess, looking around. "How will we know when a bishi is close?" he asked her quietly.

"You don't," Andy replied. "It's more of a 'who the hell did I just trip over?' kind of thing the first few times." She grinned. "It's part of the whole new trainer experience, so you may as well get used to the idea. Eventually, you may find someone who can sense others around, but until then, it's more or less by chance."

Seth grumbled about that for a few minutes before he shook his head and fell silent, instead just focusing on looking around. He paused when he saw something flash briefly through the trees before he shook it off and continued walking, though he kept one eye on the woods around them.

Andy saw the flash of movement in the trees as well, but didn't say anything about it when Seth didn't react. If he didn't see it, then it was his loss. She glanced around and saw a few more flashes of movement in the trees, which didn't surprise her. Such a big group was bound to draw local attention.
