Ka'z stopped in front of his room, one hand still resting on the stone door as his exhausted eyes slowly swept across the familiar faces occupying the small chamber. The first thing he noticed was Ru'k sprawled shamelessly across his haystack bed as though he owned the place. Tu'ka leaned quietly against the wall with his arms folded, Kurg sat cross-legged on the floor with a grin stretching from ear to ear, while Za'r offered him an apologetic smile the moment their eyes met.
Ka'z let out a long, defeated sigh.
"God... no." His shoulders slumped even further. "Za'r, I just want to sleep."
