The little relief BlackBerry had when Victoria politely brushed aside worries of waiting long was quickly dashed at the mention of 'baggage'.

[color=00aeef]"Baggage?"[/color] BlackBerry replied dumbly. He looked over Victoria without seeing any extra bags on her...until he looked at Morty. Morty, being very dead, didnt look back. [color=00aeef]"Ah yes...of course. Oh very well. Come along Morty let us get you strapped in shall we?"[/color]

BlackBerry hopped down from the cart bench with only a small grumble to lend a hand getting Morty into the wagon. [color=00aeef]"Apologies for the squeeze Masters Mosswater, but pay Morty here no mind, he is a most polite swine though not much of a conversationalist. But yes, Victoria you are correct in your deductions for this wagon is of course fitted with all the trimmings needed for any journey."[/color] He gestured with a wave to the various odds and ends they had managed to gather and forgotten about. [color=00aeef]"We really should find time to actually sort through everything."[/color]

Soon enough they were back on the road again and Old Boy pulling the wagon at his usual comfortable plodding pace and BlackBerry cheerfully making whatever adjustments needed to keep them moving in the right direction. A mix of worry for the frozen road and lack of confidence kept BlackBerry from pushing Old Boy to move any faster than he already was, and daylight was slipping away faster than BlackBerry initially thought.

Despite this BlackBerry was still glowing from Victorias compliment, [color=00aeef]"A far cry from a few weeks ago."[/color] Victoria hadn't needed to snatch the reins from him at all on this journey, but she showed her expertise and experience by noting Old Boy needed a rest which BlackBerry agreed to and directed the Mule into the Halfway Point.

Following Victorias plan BlackBerry set to work securing the wagon and getting Old Boy comfortable, but still taking a moment to address the Mosswaters, [color=00aeef]"We are just stopping for a quick rest sirs if that is agreeable for you. A good moment to step out and stretch your legs should you need it, Gods know that I do. On another matter though, if I may be so bold as yo ask that you both could kindly keep all that you may have heard the previous evening to yourselves, please."[/color]

His mind turned back to the other evening with Master Arnaurd threatening to rave and shout about everything from the rooftops. The last thing they or the L'Roses' needed was more people turning against them or making things harder to deal with.
