Ignite the Sun

Once the group was left alone, they gathered in one of the rooms, and after making certain no one was listening they got to talking.

"You got pretty good at bullshiting." Isara praised Calen. "That knight didn’t suspect a thing."

"That’s because as far as they know we have no connection to Alfred, from his perspective he was just a random kid." Calen shrugged. "Speaking of, did he choose a new name? I don’t think it would be all that bad if he used his real one, but it’s better to not tempt fate."

"He didn’t say, but I imagine he had one in mind since he was so adamant about making up a backstory for him." Cassian reasoned. "Do you think that the round table will meet with us tomorrow?"

"Why wouldn’t they? Harold told us they’d see us tomorrow so I imagine they will - no reason for him to lie."

"He also said their busy because of the Serakhiin army in the area, and I don’t think their soldiers will move by tomorrow. I expect they will keep rescheduling to ’tomorrow’ for a few more days."

"I mean it’s not that big of a problem." Elira commented. "We need time to gather evidence anyway, not to mention come up with an excuse for why we came here in the first place."

"Do we need an excuse? We can say that there was a temple we had to reclaim nearby, and since Mountainfall was transported to the other end of the kingdom they were the closest secure settlement - we can just skip the part about Alfred and his master." Calen proposed.

"I suppose that’s true. If we really won’t be meeting with the round table tomorrow then I suggest we use that time to resupply and fix out gear - and make contact with the blacksmith while you’re at it."

"I mean, it’s just late afternoon, maybe the blacksmith is still open - fixing armour isn’t will take some time, so the earlier we give it for repairs the sooner it’ll be done."

"I concur." Cassian nodded. "Cal and I will go see if the blacksmith still takes orders, you can ask about medical supplies while we’re at it."

"I guess this way will be able to focus more on gathering information tomorrow... alright, we’ll spilt up and meet up back here once we’re done."
