OOC: Making it daytime! You could still finish what y'all were doing though, but work the day into your post
IC: After everyone had been introduced to Callie and Balto, and finished petting the huge wolf, they started winding down, finding empty rooms to crash in.
Maxine had been suspicious of Kisho and Chaucer since they had that private conversation the night before.
Kisho seemed bothered about something.. Perhaps it was just about Nazari?
Maxine had a hard time sleeping through the night, her mind was racing with thoughts that wouldn't quiet.
She had awaken at the crack of dawn to settle some of those concerns.
She walked down the hallway and stopped in front of Kisho's door.
Knocking, she asked, "Kisho, are you awake?" Her voice was hoarse form lack of sleep, so she tried clearing her throat.
She figured when Kisho was half asleep would be the best time to ask him.

Dalton had woken up early, due to habit. He was used to getting up so early because of his detective work. Suspicious things were always at work late at night and early in the morning.
As he entered the main room, he saw Callie tinkering with some scrap parts.
"Good morning, Callie!" He smiled, half yawning. He sat across the table from her. "What are you working on?"
Callie was so preoccupied, she hardly noticed Dalton walking up. "Oh, good morning." She returned his smile. "Well, this is an invention of mine. It makes picking locks easier." She began to explain to him how it worked, and all of the scrap parts she used to make it.
Dalton was amazed that this little girl could create such a thing with those scraps. "That's amazing!"

Nathanael and Conri had gotten up at the same time. They literally ran into each other in the hall.
They both spouted apologies at each other and laughed it off. "I'm very clumsy when I'm half asleep." Nathanael explained with a laugh.
"Oh don't worry, it was just as much my fault as it was yours. But if you want to take the blame, by all means.." He joked, smiling.
Nathanael laughed. "So what are you doing up so early?"
"Security check. I actually just finished." He explained. "And what about yourself?"
"Getting things ready to head out. We're leaving today."
Before Conri could reply, Nazari spoke. "Conri, may I see you in my quarters?"
Conri nodded goodbye at Nathanael and walked to Nazari's room, the door shutting behind them.
Nazari paced a little, obviously in deep thought.
After a long pause, he turned to Conri. "I need your help with something.."
Conri nodded, intently paying attention. "Anything."
"No one else can know of this conversation we're about to have. Not Maxine, not Nazari. None of them."
"I understand, sir. So what is it?"
