Garnae turned away in embarassment. Why did I have to go so far? It's so typical of me. He was conveniently distracted (and annoyed) however, by Mayonette leaping on to a horse and making a bold gesture. Curses! Why can't these women learn patience? But he was glad for the interruption.
Leaping to Crean, Garnae made sure he had everything on him. A bow, a sword. These will be needed before the end, no doubt. Once again, there is time for relaxation when this is done. He wondered if they would make a song about their band. Hear now the deeds of Mayonette's adventurers eight-counted! Righted a man of treachery, saved a child in jeopardy, renowned in battle and bravery! Garnae reminded himself that there was nothing that special about this mission. But it was his mission. Their mission.
