Laurel smiled at Lanaey when she appeared at the doorway 'I am glad to see you are walking now' Laurel moved towards her with a visible limp. 'We have some good news from our missing comrades. Cartil is alive and awaits rescue. I am going now to see where Herebrand is. He will help us plan what to do' And with that she unsheathed her sword and made her way slowly down the streets.
She shivered after a while, and rubbed her free hand against her shoulder. The night was getting colder and colder, and it made her small walk more difficult. After some time she passed the tavern, and asked the barmaid if she had seen Herebrand. She nodded and pointed not far down the road.
She found him moving through the houses, checking for signs of his men. Laurel felt a pang of pain and guilt for causing him such worry, and pain.
She moved forward and slowly said 'I am sorry I had to cause this. Your men were good fighters. I hold all my hope in them. Still, I should have known better...'
