The sound of the wooden frame dragging along the ground was was a constant sound Zetsello heard as he traveled. Its sound told him everything was okay and as such he tilted his hat over his face and drifted asleep. The day was gorgeous and the sun was at its peak with its warm rays keeping him comfortable as he and his horse traveled through the fields. Some would savor such a picturesque day but he didn't. From what he saw out of either corner of his eyes it was one big meadow to go through for some indeterminate amount of time.
Instead he closed his eyes and let the warmth bring him to sleep as the crimson of his eyelids faded into something else. Or he would have done so if not for the sudden sensation of cold quickly hitting his exposed toes and rising up almost to his knees as well as his back. The horse had stopped in the stream to rest and drink the water. Immediately he got up to put some of the items like his sword that were on the stretcher to the horse itself so it wouldn't get damaged from the water. He too also took his fill of liquid as he filled his canteen and took the time to let the water rinse his dusty clothes seeing as he was already wet.
Having walked along the stream which was not very deep but would have wet him lying down. He got back on the stretcher and let the sun dry him out. Sooner or later he'd be close to some civilization. As the saying goes, "where's there water, there's people." he set that horse to follow along the banks and he'd find someone or some place.
