Claude casts a glance back over his shoulder towards the camp at the mention of the middle of the night, then turns back to Kell with a grin. "You have a point. Now's probably not the most ideal time to start stirring up winds and knocking things around, is it? Especially not after everything."
The everything being something they don't need to specify given what they've been through - no need to make it look like they're under attack to someone who might startle awake and wonder why magic's flying around them. The people able to get rest need to get it where they can while they weather the element.
"And speaking of that, if we're going to be putting fire into the experiments, we probably don't need to make ourselves extra visible to anyone or anything around we might not want to visit. I've not been out in any of the groups hunting yet, but I've heard stories about the creatures roaming around the mountains."
One squint up at the sky shows the faintest traces of daylight approaching, so at least there'll be opportunities soon once everyone wakes up. "Dawn will be here before too long, so it probably wouldn't hurt to try getting some rest ourselves, for whatever that might be worth." Not that Claude believes he'll be falling asleep anytime soon, but maybe sitting with eyes closed counts enough.
