As Gareth walks back into the mines with the others, he can't help but overhear the conversation between Meira and Lyra. The topic of their conversation is very concerning, and he has to resist the urge to turn around right then and there, but he waits until everyone is settled and Don Jon is snoring on one of the cots. The ranger nods when Eldrin says he will stay up and keep watch. Gareth takes the opportunity to approach Meira and Lyra.
In a low voice, he says, "I heard what you said about Don Jon. That's alarming news to say the least." He focuses on Lyra when he says, "No one here is going to hurt him. I know what we did with the ratfolk seems cruel...hells, it was cruel. But the ratfolk made their hostile intentions clear. Don Jon is different. I wouldn't exactly call him our friend, but we were hired to protect him. That's what we're going to do."
Gareth sneaks a glance back at Don Jon's snoring form. "I'm hoping he'll make it till sunrise. Then we should get him back to Phandalin right away. Maybe Adabra can help him with her potions."
Meirais a little concerned that Garethhad overheard her and Lyra. She makes a note to remember that in the future. But she does give him a nod as he speaks. "He'd better make it," she says, and with a momentary glance at Lyra it is clear she is more concerned about her reaction. "You don't suppose there's a horse or something near at hand? Some way to get back faster? You're sure we shouldn't try to go tonight?" She keeps her voice low but knows others might be able to hear.

Zephyros barely notices the subtle murmurs of the women.
