[b]"Very well, that is...agreeable."[/b] Valora narrowed her eyes at the man. It was clear that Isabella likely had zero experience with any sort of weaponry. The fact that he said she could keep it, was suspicious in and of itself. She'd make sure the rest of the men were kept on alert and to always travel in pairs - and not to leave anyone like Edith or other non-combatants by herself. 

[b]"Kinsey, Edith I want you to stay with her Grace. I want no splittin' up either."[/b] The more experienced guard didn't seem to pay too much attention to the approaching storm, but the others in the group seemed to whisper among themselves and watch with wide eyes. Kinsey shrugged but didn't say too much else, and Edith seemed to be more focused on the storm.[b] "Oi, everyone get their asses inside. We're strangers in a stranger land, don't dawdle! And you heard him. Hand over your weapons."[/b] Valora shouted back at the crew, which seemed to get them moving at least reasonably well.

Mervyn the smith and Lana the thief worked with getting the wagons together and putting them up, though Mervyn wasn't going to leave his tools so easily. That would be for the other guards to decide whether to take his hammer and other smithing tools.

[b]"Your grace, I'll find you once I get the rest of these layabouts settled. Now, the rest of you,"[/b] Valora started speaking to the rest handful of guards as they would hand over the weapons. She gave them a handful of instructions - most notably that she didn't want any of them traveling alone, and to always check their backs. Of course, most of the others that were armed simply thought she was being paranoid. In total the eight guards handed over their weapons.

Isabella went on to settled Turnip up at the stables - the horse gave a playful neigh, bumping his head into Isabella's chin as she gave him a friendly petting on the head. She untied the mysterious sword from its bindings before walking over to Edith, Kinsey, and Gracie and giving them a somewhat expectant and questioning look.

...so where would she be staying the night?
