As expected, the members of May Joyce's team were extremely curious. Those on better terms with Bloodfall couldn't wait to start asking around.
They were also very tempted by the good weapons, but then they realized that even Bloodfall's own members had to wait, so their turn was probably a long way off. However, trading their share of supplies to her for Crystal Cores seemed like a viable option. As long as the price was fair, it would save them trouble and let them cozy up to Bloodfall. They might even be able to find out where the group was going next, or how to contact them. Perhaps it wouldn't be too late to follow up in a few days!
Since they weren't in a hurry on the return trip, it took them about four days.
During those four days, May Joyce was at her wit's end.
