While I was waiting for you to return, I managed to wheedle Dayhawk into posting some. We've got the caravan on the road again at last.
Horatius reminded the humans that he needs meat, and had been planning to get some for the whole party besides. Ralph, the page, was all set to assist him in managing the carcasses. But Ebony, Lucy's horse, thinking of hunting as only a sport rather than survival, demanded to come along for the sake of a nice gallop. So now the MAIN party consists of Susan, Aravis, Adilia, Elena and Kayeleigh.
