The nest was kept safe, and Kel was glad he'd been able to protect the eggs and keep the woven bed of straw and twigs intact as he finally found a safe place for it. He dipped his head to the mother bird in apology, admiring her bright eyes and graceful beak, his smile wistful for a moment as she brought to mind a memory of another bird, dark feathered and bold, but he shook off the nostalgia with a sigh and turned back to the Slagveld's main room.
His room needed a new window, but he saw no panes of glass lying around, nor any idea how to make one or where to get one. The young hunter hesitated about whether to go back up the stairs or not, not wanting to run into the proprietor's monstrous puppetmaster in the close confines of the hall, but Sam's appearance downstairs gave him a reason to linger there. Before he could approach the redhead, though, Sunjata reappeared with the cruel fanged man in tow.
He didn't know that he'd be back, and the work he'd done hadn't earned so much as a mouthful of bread, but who could argue with the region's Arbiter? Mouth tightening in frustration at being so easily taken advantage of yet again, Kel gathered his weapons and followed the other quiet man out, shoulder blades itching at turning his back on Nate again.
