[@Eviledd1984] As the day on the road wanders onward Kormac doesn't talk much. Aware that the note taking would make conversation foolish. However as the dark comes in and Xavier is forced to remain close for lantern light he begins to ramble a little, "You ever heard of a town called Oriath? Small border town between Meche and Escudo. Its where that little fuzzball your cuddling is from. Young farm boy handed it over to me when i left him with his new family. He lives near Meche now, close to the capital, he wants to stay as far away from the border as possible ever since they started getting aggressive. What about you? Any thoughts on Escudo's more dramatic stance on borders?"
