Naomi, noticing Aceline had started cleaning and washing dishes regularly, approached her.
"Hey, Aceline! It's really nice of you to start cleaning the dishes! If you ever want any help, just let me know."
Later, she shares her plans for the future with Aceline. She tells her that, as a deserter, she wanted to escape the reaches of the nobleman whose levy she deserted, and that when the time came for her to leave, she'd be very grateful if Aceline would consider leaving with her. She does her best to make clear that it's completely optional, and adds that Aceline can stay or go at will. She is, after all, a free person.
Rain is, as she usually does, keeping to herself. She's beginning to make a plan involving her departure. It also involves stealing a not-insignificant amount of the group's loot and leaving in the middle of the night. She does her best to not let anyone else know, of course.
Ariadne is satisfied with the effect of her threats on Princess. It's too early to tell if it'll stick, of course, but she has a good feeling about it.
Neve begins to get a strange, uneasy feeling whenever she's near Andarakashgat (she mispronounces his name). She reasons that it's just fear of the different, especially because he attended Mercedes' funeral, and even looked genuinely sad. She begins vaguely considering returning to her order and training as a Holy Knight after the punitive expedition, in order to do the good in the world that Mercedes wasn't able to.
