"I hope we make progress today." James agreed, leaning against the wall. He closed his eyes, and went over today's plans.

The town was large enough to have a mage's guild of some kind, so it was worth looking in for research. More immediately, however, he had to feed Anya. She couldn't feed exclusively from him, and he couldn't spare much anyways if giant hyenas ran amok. He'd have to secure a meal for her quickly.
"I hope you don't mind, but I need you to stay with Elric for a little while." he said, getting up. James collected his armor from the ground, and began to strap it onto himself. "I have to go run a few errands outside, and I don't want you caught outside if the weather clears up."
After finishing with the armor, he belted on his sword. "I promise it'll only be for a while, though. If it's rainy when I come back, I'll take you out then. Sound good?"
