Callista nodded. "I know. I'll teach you all the blocks that I know. Not today though. I need to set the safeguards now, before the sun gets too much higher. I'm sorry."

"The sun is my weakness. Even if I'm out of it, it still affects me. When it gets to be high in the sky, my body will be like lead and I won't be able to move." She began to weave a safeguard at the entrance to the cave, making sure to use one that was flame based.

Valzar wrinkled his nose, "That sounds...unpleasant."

Callista shook her head. "I'm defenseless during the day. That's why my safeguards are so important. Do you think you'll be walking down to the lower chamber today?"

"...there's a lower chamber?"

She nodded. "That's where I got the water from. I want to know whether or not to set a safeguard at the entrance to the lower chamber's bounds or at this chamber's bounds."

"It's alright. I think I'll seal it off today. You can go exploring later if you want." She sealed off the entrance and turned back to him. "I know you're not comfortable with this, so I can sleep a human sleep today if it will make you more comfortable. That way if you need me, at least you'll be able to see me."

"Remember the trick I showed you when I was a baby? Where I shut my body down and appeared dead? That's how my people sleep. Human sleep doesn't do anything for us. Our sleep heals us and rejuvinates us much like your sleep rejuvinates you."

"I don't want to alarm you. I'll be in the ground. You won't be able to see me. If you're fine with that I will." She turned and waved a hoof to open the earth. A hole appeared about six feet down and just large enough for her to fit in.

I can hear you too, remember? "I don't have to sleep like that today if it's going to bother you..."
