Merel was thankful that Alice took the first watch, but sleep didn't come as easilly as she had hoped. Her mind had turned to her own mother father and what little she could still remember from them. a few vague memories based on photos more than personal recollection, but they were pleasant all the same. It had been very confusing to her when one day her parents had never come back. the pain only really got into it when she was older and could understand the loss and how very different her life had become from what was intended. Eventually she woke to the vibration of her scroll's silent alarm, not recalling having fallen asleep or that it really was already time for her watch.

As she walked over to Alice she found her with her eyes closed, Merel thought at first she was asleep but her posture was definately alert, and her expression troubled. Merel quietly touched Alice's shoulder as she hadn't reacted to her yet. Alice jolted slightly from the touch, not quite asleep but definitely not with her mind on the here and now.

"Easy there, it's my turn to keep watch. Get some sleep, you look like you could use it"

As Alice got in the car to get some sleep Merel started to silently walk around the clearing, listening for movement and anything out of the ordinary. at this ungodly hour Merel had all the world to herself it seemed and could think about all that had happened today. At first she started to doubt her conclusion of Alice being Helena's daugher, but eventually she grew more confident. as the sky grew brighter and the night ended without incident Merel was sure that today would go well. They just had to find Helena and it would all fall into place...
