Ulliendis spent the morning playing games and people-watching when he needed a break from the cards. He wasn't exactly a fan of being cooped up for so long, but it was fascinating to see how it affected other people. It was easy to tell who the introverted were, the ones happy with a book or pencil in hand, and usually sitting alone. The more outgoing of the group were what kept drawing his eye as they either tried to be the life of the party that needed the captive attention constantly on them or paced in frustration. Some people also took to exercising for some reason beyond his comprehension, or napped. Napping did seem nice, but he never gave in to the urge.
And now he was stuffing his face with juicy slices of melon. Some Candidates avoided the tables of food, no doubt remembering the attacks that came in the form of poisoned food, but Ulliendis knew he didn't need to worry about such things, especially not while in Telgar. So he ate more while everyone else scurried around. He'd get there when he got there. Somehow, he had yet to be late or even be the last to arrive at a Hatching.
It seemed that day would be no different as he finally wiped off his hands and meandered over to the Sands. A large portion had beat him there, and even the stands were filling up, but others still came in after him and it seemed like they still had a wait ahead of them. Or, at least not a long one, as Ulliendis spotted a few cracks starting to appear.
