[IC] Prologue...
Kaleas's shoulders rippled in a shrug at Zuranduil and Vetur's dissuasions. He certainly had no intent of pressing on any of those points (or "getting into it", as the latter had put it).
He'd just finished setting up the last of the tents before the questions had broken out. They weren't all of standard make; some of them would be sharing the larger ones while others would get a small one unto themselves. The only question that remained was who would be waking when.
"I'll take the first watch?" It was as much an offer as a statement, but given his heavier kit, it was more prudent (or at least much less trouble) to be first or last, just in case. The same applied to another member of their company, though. "Unless you'd rather have it and I take the last, Zur?"
There wouldn't be a need for seven watches, of course, so the downside to this arrangement for the rest of them - that those who were woken would have interrupted sleep - was set against the blessed benefit of getting a full night's worth some of the time!
