Orion stayed at Ryoichi's side, he wasn't normally given honors like guarding the Lord of the house but was happy to do the job. He'd been with the house for two years now and felt at home here, as for family he had Feathers, she was always good at cheering him up. He patted his horse as he dismounted when they entered the castle gates, leaving her near some dead grass by the gate. "I'll get you a drink and some food later girl, be strong it's tough on us all." He told her patting the mares side sighing.

He jogged to catch up to the other's moving to stand by his Lord, even taking the seat beside him at the feast. Though his years of service he'd learned that Knights of the house's were always honored. Most importantly to him however was keeping Ryoichi safe, he didn't like being here. Not that he hated Tosen by any stretch in all honesty he would like both house's to work together. The reports demons worried him and than drought, supplies were stretched thin soon he'd have to give up his water rations to his horse If food got scarcer they might try to eat her, he shuddered at the thought of losing his mount.

However Ryoichi spoke of the thief that had vanished from their group. He groaned and sighed looked at the Lord of house Aseryo, this was a bad way to start this meeting. He looked towards the Lord of house Tosen carefully, bowing slightly to show respect. "I am sure my Lord means no disrespect. The thief has been... Troublesome in the past and we simply mean to warn you of the thief's disregard." He said remembering the past problems they had with him. He looked back at the food waiting for his Lord to begin eating before he even touched the food. The knight looked at his fellow travelers trying to reassure them it would be okay.
