Jing watched over the others as they went through their post battle dealings. As Yui called out he quickly answered. "[color=7bcdc8]Ohh Yes, We will indeed be heading back to Civilization. And when we get there the first round is on me for everyone's good work on a well finished job.[/color]" While raising a goblet he kept on him filled with wine. Alm sat and listened to Pox's question. "[color=00aeef]I don't know if they wanted it, or if it was here and they simply just didn't destroy it.[/color]" He answered giving it a bit of thought. After a bit more of silence Alm decided to speak up a bit, "[color=00aeef]You know Gwen isn't as bad as she seems. I mean there is a whole bitchy thing about her, but she does care. Sure for the first few times we got hurt her choice in medical practice seemed a bit Draconian, but she hides the face that she cares. I mean if you look at us who have been here for a while we don't actually have many scars to speak of, Well except for Jenramo and his damn healing sword. The initial healing hurt a bit, but in a day or two the wounds would be gone."[/color] He started explaining and moving one of his hands to cover his own wound that he received in the battle. "[color=00aeef]I know you two have your differences but don't take her in such a hard light, she has seen a lot of people she cared about get hurt and pass in front of her eyes. She was there when Riou died... She gave her all to save his life, but it wasn't enough. She felt like she failed Jing that day and she has been on the "tough Love" routine since then. Just thought you might want to know that before judging her.[/color]" Alm continued before starting to get up and ready himself for the return trip. ------- After a bit of rest Jing and the Irregulars started to make their way back to civilization. The trip back would take a little longer due to the Loot the Irregulars had collected in the tomb totaling two weeks. During those two weeks things seemed calm almost to much so. There wasn't a sign of any raiders or Orcs on the path which gave the Irregulars a bit of free time whenever they stopped. Gwen spent a few nights teaching Octavia the bare basics of magical concept to the point where Octavia could create the magical arrows to use in the bow, While Shion spent the rest of the trip teaching her about archery so she could actually use the bow. Alm spent his off time meditating, training/sparing, cooking, or taking extra watch shifts. Jing and Jenramo made sure there was always a nice fire and Booze to be drunk as night fell. Stephan kept a close watch on the collected loot and treasures making sure no one took anything outside of their share. Allant and Sybille kept mostly to themselves mainly taking the night watch while sleeping during the day. Although the took two weeks soon enough it came to an end and The Silver Moon Citadel came into view. The Wooden walls that protected the Gatehouse City stood as the final checkpoint back to civilization. Upon entering the city Jing promptly made his way to the Tavern rented rooms for the irregulars and ordered everyone drinks including Garrett and Haph. And after that he told his plans to the group. Stephan, Allant and Sybille were going to go on ahead to sell the loot and collect the contract and were to meet back up with the group a week from now in Blackrock Village, a small village on the way back to the Sanada Estates, while the rest of the group would stay here for the next few days to rest before making their way back home. After telling the plan and a few more rounds of drinks Jing dismissed the Irregulars. [@13org][@Noodles] After his rounds of Drinks Jing remembered he had a bit of business to attend to and he took Jenramo with him to go meet someone. They traveled through the gatehouse and entered the Citidel itself making their way to what looked like a neglected house. As the two entered a man sat in a lightly furnished living room across from a fire. "[color=7bcdc8]So,[/color]" Jing started to question, "[color=7bcdc8]How did they do Hector did they pass?[/color]" He asked as he moved to sit in one of the unoccupied chairs and Jenramo followed suit "[color=a0410d]Yes, they passed.[/color]" Hector answered, "[color=a0410d]They weren't the most graceful ones you have brought me, but they survived the ordeal.[/color]" He continued before giving a sharp whistle signaling for the new recruits to come out from their rooms. [@Lyla] After the Irregulars had been dismissed Alm came up to Nanami, "[color=00aeef]So since we have some free time, want to head to the Merchant's district see if anyone have brought any fun trinkets from the desert.[/color]" [color=00aeef]He asked walking up next to her. "I think we earned ourselves a bit of a break after this little adventure wouldn't you say?[/color]" [@HowlsOfWinter][@Sync][@ShwiggityShwah][@Athol][@13org][@Noodles][@LiverisGood]
