Vaenosa shivered as she pulled her bed roll up higher, it was going to be a cold day for riding. Sitting up she pulled on her boots and threw her warmer tunic she had packed, on. Nay lay sprawled on the ground beside her bedroll. I better pack up my stuff now, I presume we will be leaving soon. She packed away all her belongings into her pack laying her bow and quiver as well as the large blade she had found ontop of her pack ready to go. I could sure go for some of that left over deer and a cup of tea.She headed towards the fire and the few figures that stood around it. Already others seemed to be up and about, two of the strangers, a woman and older man seemed to be having a disagreement and Brand and some of the other men were discussing the plan for the day.
Vaenosa quickly gulped down a cup of tea and wolfed down a slice of the deer. By the time she was done she noticed Nay was up and she thought she would ready him for the trip. She hoped today would not be a repeat of yesterday, Nay had become overly excited after his little show down with the man Osmod.He seemed to be calmer today, perhaps he knew they were off again.
After a good brush and rub down Vaenosa let him go and graze before she packed him up.Everone was now up and mulling around, tending to their horses as she was and hurrying to tidy up the remainer of the camp.
After a short time everything was packed and ready to go, even Nay gave no resistance to being loaded up. Brand called from the front of the group, asking if everyone was ready, which was followed by a number of yay's." Who shall take the lead and the rear positions?" He also asked them. Vaenosa spoke up," I will take up the front, I see far and Nay should not have another horse's tail infront of him for at least awhile today...I shan't have him misbehaving today." With that she looked around and caught Osmod eye, she almost smiled momentarily, but hesitated. She took from her pocket a leather tie, and tied her hair back from her face and pulled her hood up to shield her from the wind. Nay gave a nicker and they headed towards the front of the now fairly large group.
