Gwen frowned before schooling her expression to neutrality. The day had not started off well. When the next day came, getting everyone ready to leave took more time than anyone expected. Many of the nobles who were use to the life of luxury could not sleep well on the hard ground and dragged their feet when making preparations. Those who were use to this lifestyle had to take up the extra work. Overall this took too much time. Gwen had been generous in her estimation of when they'll start moving, but even she was taken aback by how unwilling some nobles were to cooperate. As such she had to humor and gently coax the slower nobles into action.

The group finally left in the morning, two hours after dawn. Gwen decided to walk with Fenrir by her side at the back of the column. It was mostly because she gave the horse she was riding to another noble because of his 'injured leg'. Gwen only smiled and handed him the reigns even though he walked perfectly fine. She looked around for any familiar faces in the crowd as they continued their march.
