*Elbow awakens after everyone else has left, and sits up in his bed. He squints at his surroundings, then smiles and falls back onto the mattress. 15 minutes later, he wakes again, and lays on his back, watching an unlit lantern sway on the chain that hangs it from the ceiling. He gets out of bed, whistling a happy tune as he tries to smooth out the wrinkles in last night's clothes. He folds them, tucks them into his pack, then dresses in simple pants and shirt. Stowing his pack under the cot, next to his spear, he decides to head to the deck, to check on their progress, and the whereabouts of Lemac.*
