Trix and Regi’s conversation is interrupted by Faerlin, who has come to take their turn at watch. They sit and carve a piece of wood while Rou tries to ply him with questions. Rou’s curiosity is met with Faerlin’s assurance that he’s not like most servants and is more than capable. They promise Rou that even if they never get paid, he’ll be loyal and will serve Trix so long as it takes, even unto death. When Faerlin leaves to get a higher vantage point, Rou notices Regi has been watching and listening the whole time.

Remembering what Regi had said earlier about dreams, Rou takes a moment to see if he can learn more about the dream that Eight had all those weeks ago. As the conversation continues he realizes perhaps it would be best for Regi and Eight to chat about this directly. When the conversation turns to Regi and Trix’s past, Rou lets Trix’s recent revelation slip and quickly realizes his error. The awkward silence between them is interrupted by a rumble at their feet and the group is forced to deal with one of the desert’s many dangers.
