To Silverymoon!

Pipper was awake when Ollin first stirred before the sun had began to rise. The little fox watched Ollin walk from the room, but continued to lay on Nym's belly as she slept. The old apothecary soon came down the stairs and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for himself and his guests. Pipper's ears perked up and he sniffed the air when he heard sizzling and smelled food cooking, but he continued to lay on Nym. After a time, Pipper heard Ollin whistle, which meant he and Vort were to be fed. Pipper hopped down from Nym's belly and yipped at her to wake her. When she didn't stir, he sniffed her ear and face. Nym groaned, but did not awake. Pipper snorted and lay across Nym's face, which caused Nym to burst into laughter.

"ALRIGHT. I'm UP!" she said to the fox pup, sitting up. Pipper yipped and ran out the door to be fed. Nym chuckled and went to help Rovanth with the cooking. Since all his own children had moved away, Rovanth was more than happy to listen to Nym chatter while she helped him cook.

After a quick breakfast, Ollin and Nym helped Rovanth tidy up his shop and then open for the day at 7am. By this time, the sun was rising. Nym, Ollin, Vort, Pipper, and their horses, Nesme and Ella, continued their journey to Silverymoon.
