"Odysseus and I are ready to head out when you two are," Fiore said as he calmly walked towards Odysseus, running his hands through Odysseus' mane, which was thin and short to lie flatly against Odysseus' neck. Odysseus stared out towards the street, looking at the waves of people. 

"Huh... I thought you took an interest in Leifr's horse..." Fiore whispered into Odysseus' ear. Odysseus looked at Fiore, his glare at Fiore making a statement, a statement of pure annoyance towards Fiore. "... All right, all right! I won't question it anymore..." Fiore looked over towards Leifr and the girl, unknowingly giving a slight nod. 

[i]My companions for the next few days on this job...[/i] Fiore said in his head. The corner of Fiore's mouth seemed to give way to a slight grin. [i]This is going to be exciting, just like the old days, even if one of them is a girl and the other is a kind man under the house of the Forbannet.[/i] Fiore turned around to look at Odysseus.

"This can go either extremely well... or extremely wrong..." Fiore whispered in Odysseus' ear. Odysseus snorted instantly without hesitation after hearing it, looking at Fiore, glaring at him with his penetrating eyes, almost as if he was saying, "Do you not trust your noble steed?" Fiore looked self defeated now, taking a glance at Leifr's warhorse and then back at Odysseus. 

"... Well, you did say you didn't want to charge into battle-" Odysseus squealed towards Fiore, which caught Fiore off guard. Fiore was taken aback, and then looked at Odysseus, who's eyes were filled with utter determination. "... Well all right then." Fiore brushed Odysseus' mane as he turned around to look towards Leifr and the girl.

"I have some days of ration," That was a lie. Fiore had more than "some" days of rations, he had thirty-five days of rations. The only reason he said some days of ration was because the job was likely to end with the bandits, and he didn't want to really brag about rations. "Three canteens of water, so I'm prepared on my part."
