Three days worth of provisions, yes; but now that would be doubled, for the sake of having the fellahin - oh, but Nazli did not eat much! She would not have to add so much from the storehouse, and besides she had learned to hunt recently - small things - ...!

Three days there [...] stay for a month...

My -- help? Nazli was reeling from the news she would be somewhere else for so long, and wasn't aware of much else. She moved in to the room after being prompted and then sat, her mind filled with thoughts of her brother.

Tavina would look after him. The other fellahin would keep him busy. He did not need her so much, now, as they were older -- but deep down Nazli was afraid for him. Zakariya needed her and would always need her, that was a constant in her universe that had never been questioned.
