I think we have a fair amount of things to discuss, after that. But we'll also need to rest and recover here; We may be able to take it at Saturn's word that he won't alert Cyrus to us, but overstaying our welcome by more than a couple of days is unwise--that means we need to take advantage of this as much as we can.

...Are you alright, after all of that?

[ Comes her quick answer. She shifts a little here, glancing at Miphanus, who is just sort of floating there in the kitchen. ]
Honestly, those negotiations went better than I might've hoped.

... It does confirm to her there is more to learn, and so she exhales somewhat, situating herself near the counter, not sure if she should ask for more things to grab.]
