"Callum, Huh? Nice to meet you too." Leonardo didn't recognize the name of the village, but he did know of Stairia and Voston, two countries embroiled in conflict with each other. He idly wondered if that conflict had anything to do with Callum's reason to pay the Dragon a visit. Before Leonardo could say anything further Callum broke off and began to follow the blonde, whose name Leonardo barely caught with his ear, Sophia, [i]not a bad name[/i], he thought. 

Callum seemed to react oddly to the apple girl whom, speaking of which, seemed cheery that Leonardo had accepted her offer. "Nice to meet you, Hilda." Leonardo replied. Now that the short-term future of his stomach was secure, Leonardo gazed down the valley. Once they set off down this valley, it was unlikely that they would find a vantage spot as good as this, so there was no better time to plan the route to that picturesque castle by the sea. He raised his finger and pointed to the valley, "There, we'll probably walk there before setting up camp." Leonardo spotted a clearing amongst the forest, half a day's walk away. Seemed like an ideal camping spot. Amongst his current possessions is a barely serviceable piece of thick textile that Leonardo had been using as a makeshift tent, which should to for tonight.

Suddenly Leonardo heard the carriage, and was stunned to see the mechanical horses and the wooden talking doll. Once again he felt a rush to draw, and immediately following, frustration of being unable to do so. He quickly realized that if he kept feeling this way for every magical thing he'll see from now on, he'll grow into a very bitter person, and just heaved a big sigh. It mentioned something about the Dragon not taking disciples, [i]Well, it's not like I'm trying to become one anyw—[/i], Leonardo's thoughts came to a halt. He had planned to meet the Dragon and ask a (admittedly big) favor of him, but, supposing it was granted, or even denied, what would become of Leonardo? Would he simply return to his home? Suddenly this idea of becoming the a disciple of the greatest mage in the world, which seem to be the goal of the other three, doesn't sound that bad to Leonardo.

Hilda seemed to want a ride to the castle, Leonardo quickly chimed in, "Agreed, please give us a lift, if possible"
