Gru flicks an ear and lifts his head from where he's been resting on the floor. With a curious grumble -- and a quick glance toward Alistair and Cullen, just to make sure they'll be all right without him -- he hefts himself up to follow Ivette out the door.
Maybe there's a deer haunch out there! A big deer haunch ALL FOR HIM.
Alistair debates another moment as Fiona fills her waterskin, then retrieves an apple and bundles it up alongside the bread. Thank you, Alistair, she murmurs as he hands over the offering; he even manages to hold her gaze as he nods and mumbles a reflexive lie: it's no trouble.
Focus on the important part, he tells himself. They have a lead. A genuine lead, the first in a rather long while going from the state of Ivette's notes. Everything else is -- secondary.
(This does not mean he won't feel worlds better as soon as Fiona's out the door.)
