"Are you ready?" 

"Almost."

Penelope waited at the entrance of Jane's tent watching as the physician packed a small satchel of supplies. The knight was feeling a bit impatient. The day had been uneventful as she had spent most of it with Mia and Tomas. The meeting hadn't been very formal but they did discuss a bit about the war and the results of the last battle. Mia even expressed some worry about Bran, who had taken the news of his son's death rather difficulty. The baroness seemed to worry he would be fit to continue his job of overseeing the cavalry. 

The meeting eventually ended and so did the day. The sun was sinking on the horizon which meant it was about time for her and Jane to meet with Hazel. The knight felt nervous, unsure what to expect. She hoped the two would managed to get along just enough to be able to work together decently, however, she knew that she might be overly hopeful. While Jane wasn't a hot-tempered person, the physician likely wouldn't completely ignore the red-head's foul attitude towards nobles. Penelope sighed, it was going to be a long night. 

"Alright, I think I have everything." Jane announced, stepping over to Penelope as she slung the strap of the bag over her shoulder. Though Jane might have been reluctant to agree to this, Penelope had to give her credit for taking it so seriously. It was a bit encouraging to see the physician packing books and other supplies that might come in use during her meeting with Hazel. 

"Great. We should get going then." Penelope said with a small nod.

The knight lead the way to Myrefall. It felt a bit strange to leave camp without having to worry about being caught. With Mia's approval, leaving camp to visit the village had never been easier. It was a shame that Penelope couldn't use the convenience of the baroness' knowledge to meet with Crow like before. She trekked carefully through the forest with Jane following. The two chatted idly as they walked together, speaking about the last battles and what Penelope knew about the illness.

The two eventually reached the tavern and headed inside. Penelope took a seat besides Jane as they waited for Hazel to arrive. The knight hoped that the herbalist kept her word and didn't back out of the meeting last minute. Jane didn't seem as concerned and merely took out one of her books as they waited, beginning to flip through the pages as she read up on a few different treatments for illnesses that shared similar symptoms to the one in Myrefall.
