The second rest day was week six, which meant Ryuken announced it at breakfast on a Tuesday in the same way he had announced the first one, between finishing his bowl and standing to leave.
"No training today."
He walked out.
Kaito looked at his tea. "Same as before. Do not stand in the outer ring."
Vane was already looking at Ashe. She was already looking at him. The logistics of the first rest day had established a pattern and the pattern was that they went to Korreth and she bought things from a sequence of vendors and he carried them and the day was better than any day that had spent itself in the sanctum.
"Twenty minutes," she said.
He went to get his jacket.
He passed Lancelot in the corridor. Lancelot was coming from his room and going toward the eastern wall, which was where he went when there was no scheduled purpose, the specific trajectory of a person whose default state was the wall.
Vane said: "We are going to Korreth. The city."
