Orion was careful to remain silent at his lords side, he knew his place was to defend against violence and occasionally offer advice. As the night went he ate and drank little mostly watching the room, he had to take his job seriously right now. Even if they were getting along things were still tense and both sides having thieves did little to put him at ease, he hoped this could be settled and they be on their bright and early tomorrow.

The Cavalier carefully looked back towards the door, he desperately wanted to feed and water his horse. The little mare deserved it at least for caring him all the way here. She was a tough little girl and he also wanted to ensure no one was trying to eat his horse. Food had become scarce and desperate people had resorted to eating horses and even dogs for food. He prayed it was resolved before many of the breeds of horses went extinct from being eaten. 

As the night rolled on he sighed. "My lord, my I go check on my horse. I do not fear much but I know some locals are desperate enough to try eating anything these days." He told Ryoichi as looked towards the door. He hoped his Lord would allow him to leave, he knew it was not usual for a bodyguard to leave who he was to guard but Orion could not abandon his steed it was much a knight as he was.
