"I wonder...do animals like that miss us? Or do they just patiently wait forever until we return like in the game?" Even in the game mounts didn't disappear when you got off of them. Though they did disappear and reappear next to you once you summoned them. "Ah well, we can't just ask Khronos since neither of us is a druid." He then added, shrugging slightly.

The ride back was pretty much uneventful. They encountered an animal or two, and one goblin that had wandered away from it's usual location, but Alakai ran past all of them, not wanting to deal with them at the moment. Once they got back though, the city felt...a little different. Like the atmosphere had changed a little. There seemed to be more people that were moping about. And there were a few groups, probably from larger guilds, that were proudly parading around. Alakai chose to ignore it though. It wasn't like he had any right to just walk up and tell people what to do. He didn't like it, but this wasn't the time or place to deal with such problems. Plus the both of them were tired.

Once they arrived at the inn Alakai ordered a dish with plenty of potatoes and vegetables, and only a bit of meat. However Kali seemed to not be in the mood for eating. She did order the same as him, but looked like she was pre-occupied with something else. Once they both had their food at their private table, he finally decided to ask what was going on. "Kali, you seem a little down? Or thinking about something? Is something wrong?" He asked casually just before taking a bite from his food.
