Courage nearly chokes back a sigh of relief hearing Kasha roar again. "Gah... Note to self. Install better sound dampners in this thing." He said while tapping the side of his helmet. "In any event, that takes care of the second trial. Can't recall how many more are left, but now would be as good a time as any for a breather. Wouldn't you all agree?"After hopefully hearing at least most of the same mine to rest, the tiefling finds a spot to sit down, and undo parts of his armor to begin some basic self-care and maintenance.
Which once taken care of within the first few minutes, the next while is spent brewing up some chicken dumplings to almost perfection using the big pot of a backpack with the assistance of Souperb. Those that consume the meal aren't only left satisfied and full, but even more invigorated than ever before.
He also trusted the others to either convince Kasha to revert or keep away until the meal's done. But if neither happens and he's left down a pot for the meal, then a mildly miffed tiefling grumpily finds a corner to brood instead without attempting another miracle meal.

Having been used to it by this point, Yvan shows no indication of being bothered by Kasha's deafening roar despite being nearby the polymorphed druid. If anything, when he calms himself down and stows away his sword, he drags the rest of the corpses nearby for her to chow down on. Probably a bad idea, but she ate weirder things before, she'd be fiiine.
When Courage suggests a rest, the goliath gives a grunt in agreeance and finds a spot to settle down nearby to watch the tiefling work on the quick meal. It was as if Courage had a meal planned for any sort of occasion, and it always smelt good. When it was ready and he was offered some, he took it tentatively and ate slow, savoring the flavors foreign to him.
Not wanting to waste good food, when he was done, he picks up Kasha's dish (had she not reverted back) and approaches her, waving his free hand to flag for her attention. "Kasha, Courage made this and it's really good." He lifts up the plate had she wanted to get a sniff. "Do you want some? It'll taste much better in your normal form too."

For some mystical reason, when Kasha was Kashasaurus, the Kasha persona was buried deep down in some other place where it had very little influence over Kashasaurus. It was strange, because Kasha and Kashasaurus were, technically, the same entity - just a different physical form. Maybe a side effect from her ancestry, but right now, as Kashasaurus, she was 90% Kashasaurus, and 10% Kasha. Out of one of her eyes, she saw Yvan approach, and thanks to Vastra's pictures, remembered this one was a friend. So, thus, he was not eaten right away.
WHAT **** THIS? DUMPLINGS?!?
She let out another roar and went back to eating the corpses. Clearly, she didn't want any.
Alys blinks out of her oogling with pink cheeks, but still held her dimpled smile. With a hint of pep, she’d trot over, chuckling softly from Courage’s comment about sound dampeners. “Perhaps one?” She’d respond to his question. “A breather when we can is always good.” The elf would nod, though a hint of a smirk tugged at her lips. Courage’s breaks usually meant snacks...
And it did! Alys would be guilty of hovering a little bit to observe Courage and Souperb’s process. She could feel her mouth salivate. The scholar would offer to help distribute out the food to the others.
When Yvan got up to offer Kasha her portion, Alys would sneak into his spot, plopping herself down in the middle of it to try to look like she was taking up the same amount of space. The wizard would sway side to side as she enjoyed the savoury flavours of dumplings, humming to herself. Her blue eyes would catch Kashasaurus denying Yvan’s offer. With a sheepish smile, Alys would crane her neck in his direction, pointing at the plate. “Want help finishing that?” Her head would tilt.
Yvan is left unfazed by the roar, though his does frown down at the plate of dumplings. He considered to save them for later for Kasha to try when she was back in her normal form, but food always tasted better fresh... Surely Courage could whip up another batch another day had the druid really wanted to try them. Cooking never looked to bother the tiefling any who and it would definitely be a shame had these gone to waste.
The goliath perks up a bit at the sound of Alys' voice, her inquiry getting a small smirk to tug at the corner of his lip. A chuff escapes him when he notices her sitting in his spot. "Of course." He makes his way over to her and settles down beside her, sitting in a way so that had she wanted to get closer, she could. "Food this good shouldn't go to waste," He affirms as he takes one of the dumplings from the plate on a fork and hands it out to her had she wanted to grab it or eat it from where she sat.

"Right!?" Alys would beam when Yvan would agree that Courage's cooking shouldn't go to waste. She'd immediately scooch over, just short of sitting on him and playfully lean over to try to search for the largest dumpling, before taking a big bite. "Tank yu!!" She'd chime with full cheeks, both to Yvan and Courage. When she'd swallow her bite, she'd bump against the goliath before looking up to whisper. "We'll have to find Kashasaurus treats she likes just as much as chocolate peanuts." Then she'd munch on the rest of her dumpling and flash a dimpled smile.
With one eye on the crowd, Kashsaurus continued to eat her high protein snack of dead bodies very messily. She wasn't a small T Rex, so she needed fuel to feed the beast.
"Darn tootin'!" Alys wouldn't skip a beat with her punny response when Vastra would ask. Her cheeks would turn a little pink, but she'd nuzzle her nose to press it into Yvan's cheek bone just before excusing herself. She'd pop up to her feet and scurry over her mentor and present her with a range of fresh clippings from the garden, happy to pack a pipe for her. "Super Lemon Haze, Girl Scout Cookies, Sour Skittles..." She'd name a couple.
"Girl scout cookies? Hah! Ahh... I missed this bout the primes. Such wonderful naming conventions. So chaotic compared to the outer planes too."Courage find himself commenting on while ladling more chicken dumplings into his bowl for a second helping. He then glances over to Griannarex, and after a moment's contemplation, said in a more subdued tone, "Has she... talked to any of you about what bothered a while back? How that ever got resolved?"

"The Girl Scout Cookies sound nice." Vastra says. "She hasn't and I won't force a friend to talk about something before they're ready, least of all one that can turn into a T-Rex at any time."

A soft giggle would leave Alys' lips when the two would enjoy the names of their strains. The elf would prepare a pipe with some ground up Girl Scout Cookie, topped with a hint of Pink Kush Kief to top it off. Vastra seemed to need a little extra boost after a long day and Alys would guide her through it starting with a little mellow body buzz to lighten any achy muscles and free her mind from stress.
Alys would think on Courage's question as she passed Vastra her pipe. "There's been a lot of change for all of us, and for her... We all handle our stresses differently... I hope Kasha's just taking some time to handle and process it her way..." She'd start softly. It was weird for Alys to talk about Kasha like she wasn't here? But she was? Alys had faith that Kasha would be okay. She'd open up when she was ready. Without a shadow of a doubt Alys knew she, and others, would never give up on her if she did waver to a dark place. They were there for each other. "We all check in in our own ways, in all of her forms, to try to make sure she's okay... And to remind her we're here for her." Alys would tilt her head and offer an attempt at a reassuring smile.
There had been a lopsided smile on Yvan's face as he watches Alys' movements in getting closer to him. Her presence was always welcome in his space, and he couldn't help but watch her with adoration dancing in the back on his irises as she picked and chose the biggest dumpling on the plate to eat. The smile only grows on his face when she thanks him and Courage, looking like a cute little chipmunk with her puffed cheeks.
The bump to his side gets his attention, shaking himself from his thoughts to actually eat one of the dumplings himself as he listens to her suggestion. "Hmm... Maybe Courage could think of something up. Maybe when we get back home we can ask..." He considers, his gaze going to Kasha now then back to Alys. "Probably something with meat in it..."
Yvan shows no qualms with Alys popping up to offer some of her herbs to Vastra when asked, though his face does burn up at the quick nuzzle she gives him before heading over. He suddenly becomes very interested in finishing the dumplings left on the plate.
When Courage inquires about Kasha opening up, the goliath falls into silence and merely listens to the conversation as he chews. Both Vastra and Alys were right in respecting Kasha's space and not pressing her to talk to them about the issue before. The druid would open up in time, when she wanted to (and if she wanted to of course), and they would be there for her when that time came.

"And lot's of it, for her to turn her nose up at Chicken 'n Dumplings."Courage comments. "Don't think I can manage something treat worthy for such an instance, but I'll do some experimenting later... As for the other business, I... apologies if I crossed a line there as well. Meant nothing by it, I'm just-..."He trails off into a sigh, and then looks to Souperb. Who in turn looked up at him and burbles something incoherent, which gets the tiefling to snorting in mild amusement.
"Pay no mind to this old man's rambling... Though do let me know when you all are ready for the next stage."
Kashasaurus thundered up to the group, her snoot wet and bloodied from her last meal. It was a messy one, that's for sure. With the intelligence of a shoe, she looked over everyone deciding whom to eat next, but, somehow, everyone Kashasaurus spied was a "friend". Even the walking blob of soup. Stupid placards. She let out a very annoyed rumble of frustration, and starting sniffing the ground, searching for more food. She wandered off in a random direction, sniffing loudly.
Once you've all finished resting, you hear the dragons' voice again.
"AND NOW FOR THE FINAL GUARDIAN. AUGERON, THE NIGHT WARRIOR."
The sky suddenly darkens, as it would during the night. You can see the moon and stars above, but they shift in an usual way, as if the heavens are out of order.
