The next day had passed mostly filled with rest again, with everyone still being exhausted. Thanrie might not have been tired, but she really didn't want to do much walking, so she took it equally as easy.
The day after, Mhyl was the last one of them all to wake up. Lwyn had woken up first, working to make sure there was a decent enough breakfast. Qheria was next, who went to do some physical training after having neglected it for so long. Thanrie was after that, though all she did was find a chair and consider her own thoughts. The two guys, no one knew when they woke up, but they had disappeared at one point. Chyurae disappearing was normal, but while Zyuixqs disappearing similarly was abnormal, the going idea was that someone was probably way behind on expected paperwork.
Mhyl finally got up and out of bed. The moment she left, Lwyn jumped her. "Oh, awesome, I was wondering if someone was going to have to wake you up for breakfast. With Zyuixqs back into the normal schedule, I was thinking we should try and get back to a normal routine too. We have a really nice breakfast today." It seems Lwyn had been very busy so far, and had ambitions to make something of the day. That had her a bit worried. Mhyl finished getting ready for the day, and went to check on Thanrie.
"So, how are you doing?" "Pretty good actually. Gave up on those logs for giving me support, walking without is just a lot easier now." Mhyl was surprised how much Thanrie has been improving. At this point, there were hardly any signs Thanrie had ever been in an accident. Zyuixqs was probably more injured at this point, and he was well enough to get back to work. At least Thanrie wasn't doing anything rough. Lwyn's plan to get everything back to normal might actually be possible today.
Eventually, breakfast occurred. As everything was wrapping up, Lwyn pitched her idea for everyone. "So, I think it would be healthy if we tried to get something done today. We've done a lot of nothing for a while now, even getting fresh air from the surface could be a really healthy thing. So why don't we..." "No." Lwyn was hyped to get something done, but Qheria shot it down hard. "Why not..?" "Thanrie has barely had time to get better, we aren't ready to make any kind of.." Lwyn was getting sad at her plans falling apart, having been shattered by Qheria.
Thanrie however was the one to interrupt next. "Qheria, stop it. You can't keep doing this to yourself, get out of your rut and get your head back in gear. I know you're not even worried about me at this point anymore, what is bugging you is just who is going to suffer next. At this point, you're suffering plenty, and you should stop that. The only way I can see that changing is if we do something."
Rhyde picked this fine opportunity to arrive. As the others had been speaking English, he had no idea what was being sad, but the tones and emotions conveyed a lot. "Is Qheria still at it?" "Yes, she is. She's the only one not willing to actually get back to our original goals." Rhyde picked up on the situation quickly, but Thanrie was being especially snappy with the current subject. "Our goals, as you put it, are just going to cause us more trouble and.." "Ah, yes, I see that she's still lost in her own faults. Qheria, you have to.." "What we have to do is actually stop endangering our lives. This kind of thing..." Qheria and Rhyde were at it again, arguing endlessly about yet another subject, not letting each other stand in. Mhyl looked at the situation rather hopelessly, while Lwyn tried to find an opportunity to do something.
Thanrie smashed the table with her hand, bringing silence to the entire room. "Both of you, 'shut up' quiet. Fighting and arguing isn't going to solve our 'F***ing' problems, we need to get over that right away so that we can fix the real 'F***ing' issue here." Mhyl fell off her chair, she was so surprised. Thanrie had clearly snapped or something, her tone left no impression for compromise and Rhyde and Qheria had actually gone quiet. Her insertion of English into her statement was clearly to project her own intent better, the usage of swears even felt like a desperation to grasp for expressions she didn't yet know.
