Vala nodded, turning back to the woman. "If m'lady wishes, I shall tend to Alithea until we reach town..."
((I'm gonna be absent for most of the morning, so pretend Vala is in the back))

Without further ado, Ze'yer bounded off and put his nose to the ground. He singled out an outbound trail and loped away after it.

(( jaran: You probably could jump in now, or you could wait until they get to the town if you want to wait until you have more time to join in.)) ((@miklul: Sorry. What was the situation you were wanting, out of curiosity? Or would you rather it be a surprise?)) The woman looked torn, obviously wanting to take care of her own child, but aware that in her weakened state, allowing Vala to tend the baby might be a better choice. "I . . . I suppose. Thank you."

Vala offered the woman a smile. "Thank you, ma'am. She is strong, just like you." She held Alithea out so her mother could look at her, not wanting to seem selfish by keeping the baby to herself. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Ze'yer had disappeared, and worried just where he had gone to... (( jaran: Yay! Can't wait to see your addition!))

"It's a noble instrument. Too noble, perhaps--audiences don't respond to it as strongly as the flute." A crease appeared between her eyebrows, suggesting frustration, although Elevie never allowed it to become a full-fledged frown. "Nobody appreciates fine music anymore."

The next town is a mile West down the road and then two miles North... Ze'yer's voice faintly spoke to Liam and Vala as he disappeared into the woodlands, on the scent.

The woman managed to smile back weakly, reaching out towards her child. "Yes," she replied quietly, as Alithea caught hold of one of her mother's fingers. "Thank heavens." ---- Thank you, Ze'yer. Liam reached the clearing once more and guided his horse over to Vala and the woman. "Are you ready to go?" ---- Linnea opened her mouth to reply, but Kenneth spoke before she could, his tone quiet and solemn. "True. In music, in tales, in many things, they wish only to be entertained. But we should be the ones to remind them of what they have forgotten, even if it is not always what they want."

Nestling Alithea in the crook of her arm, Vala offered her other arm to the lady. "Can you stand, ma'am?" She asked.

"I . . . believe so." The lady took Vala's arm and struggled to her feet.
Liam moved to support the woman from the other side. "Here, mistress. Allow me to help you up." He gently lifted the woman onto Gallant's back. She swayed, clutching the pommel of the saddle, then seemed to steady herself.

Vala moved to Liam's side, looking solemn. "Should we split up?" She asked in a quiet undertone. "I could escort the lady and her child to town, and you could assist Ze'yer in apprehending whoever was responsible..."

"A good thought, Miss Vala, but I will remain with the rest of you." Liam glanced in the direction Ze'yer had gone. "I am not tracker enough to follow a wolf through the woods, and if there are too many for Ze'yer and I to handle on our own, 'twould be better for him to scout without me."
((If I poof, it's because I had to go work on schoolwork, just so you know.))

Vala nodded. "Excellent point, Sir Liam." She said, then smiled when Alithea cooed and swung her fists towards the knight. "She likes you. Her brave knight in shining armor, yes?"

"Perhaps. But good stories don't pay well. And…" Elevie glanced back at Mart. "And I have to put my sister first." _________
Mart nodded as though she'd expected as much. "They got the plague down there too?"

Mordecai, who smiled and nodded to Liam, decided to follow the small group, mostly hanging at the back. He was curious.

"To the nearest town-" Liam paused, recalling what Ze'yer had said. "One mile west and two miles north. You are welcome to join us, if you wish." ---- Kenneth nodded. "I understand."

He nodded. "I'll follow along then I believe. At least that far."

Mordecai hummed slightly to himself before turning and looking closer at the group. "Who exactly do we have here?"

Liam nodded to Tristam. "Very well, then." He started back towards the path, directing his next words to Mordecai. "I believe I introduced myself already, as has Miss Vala. Our other new companion is Tristam Abbey, and the lady . . ." He paused, glancing back at the lady. "I don't believe I asked your name, mistress."
"Reyna," she said, softly. "My name is Reyna."

Mordecai nodded seriously, smiling at Reyna and giving her a small wave. "Its a pleasure, Reyna."

(( NightBlade: Liam, Vala, Reyna, Alithea, Tristam (his real name is Aristos) and Mordecai are all in the same one with Ze'yer. As for the other group...I haven't kept track, sorry)) Vala offered a small smile to the others, sticking close to Gallant so Reyna and Alithea could be together.

(Kay!)
Kealade slowed and paused in midstep, looking around uneasily. The breeze seemed to pick up, with a peculiar chill...and the drear of evening seemed to be falling more quickly.

((@the burning cottage group: does anyone have anything they want to happen on the way to town? If not, I'm going to do a timeskip.))
Kenneth frowned at the sky and glanced around with a keen, searching gaze. "There is trouble on the wind."
Linnea shivered, wrapping her cloak around herself, but nonetheless made a face at her brother. "You're just saying that to be dramatic."

"No, I think Kenneth is right..." Elevie instinctively put an arm around her sister. "There's something evil in that wind." Mart shook Elevie off and smirked at the others. "Oh come on, people... It's just a storm."
