Beornraed led his commander away from the soldiers' barracks as he began to reply. "Nothing from the town yet, my lord, but the day is yet young." He stopped walking to speak to Alfred more directly, now sufficiently distanced from the sometimes nosy young recruits. Beornraed seemed slightly tense as he reported to his superior.
"There are more pressing matters than local skirmishes today, sir. Lord Banweald has requested audience with you, as soon as possible. Says it's urgently important."

Wilmot seemed pleased by Garod's offer. "You're a very kind man, thank you ever so much! I'm very grateful for the help, I get lost quite often and I don't want him to be upset with me." She stepped toward the door but waited with some hesitation for Garod to lead the way while she nervously chattered on. "My master's name is Alexius, Justiciar Alexius... he's a very fine master, always kind to me; never starves or beats me. Nothing like folks say."

"Maybe I will, if your old boat is faster than little ol' me!" Mildemaer taunted jokingly, taking off down the road. Her hound chased her clumsily, almost tripping over itself more than once.
Deep within the girl bubbled a new feeling, a blossoming happiness at making a friend. Among most of the townsfolk she was considered quite an outsider, strange and detestable, and though some had warmed up to her with time it was rare to find anyone she could relate to. As the stone walls of Cirencester proper came into view, Mildemaer saw peasants wading into the river shallows in search of mussels and seasoned sailors untying their boats for the day ahead, as the dawn sun peaked through the otherwise gray sky.

The girl nodded, pretending to know where Sweyn's Dun was as she shifted her arms to stop the hen escaping her grasp. "I see, then, you're an outsider like me! I'm not from Cirencester either; not from Gloucestershire at all. I'm Mildemaer of Crowland, though..." She smiled wickedly "If you ask the other merchants in town, they'll tell you I'm Mildemaer the Miser."

Wilmot smiled politely, but lowered her gaze and kept fiddling with her pendant. "Thank you sir, but I've no money to spend for myself. Even if I had six pence I couldn't stay; you see, I'm just a humble servant. I need to get back to my master soon, or he'll be... he'll be very angry with me." She looked again around the room, but couldn't see a single familiar face. Her eyes returned to Garod. "Oh! Maybe you can help me! Has a judge in red robes been here?"

As she plodded along the river as barefoot as the pup that trailed her, the auburn haired girl caught a glance of Sigrid's ship. She picked up her pace, skipping down to the waterfront, finally standing in the mud just at the streams edge as the boat passed by.
"Ƿes hāl, sailor!" She greeted loudly. "Are you new to our hamlet? Are you headed to market?"

Awakening from her cloudy thoughts, Wilmot found herself without her master. She bit her lip and looked around, turning her bead pendant around in her hands as she searched her surroundings for a familiar landmark. She spotted an inn that they'd stayed in many times before, and thought he'd maybe went inside when she wasn't paying attention. With one last glance up and down the main road through town, she went inside.

Ah! I'm back! Long story short I was in the hospital very unexpectedly. But now I'm fine and I actually have access to the internet again, so we can actually get this ball rolling. :) Hopefully you all are still here and interested? If that's not the case I totally understand, I haven't made the pre-game for this exactly smooth for all of you.

I'll make the first IC post now and y'all can jump in whenever you can.
