Léof rose early, but if he was hoping for a bit of peace in the stables before the armsmen showed up, he was disappointed. One soldier was already there tending to his horse, and another couple arrived as Léof was starting to feed the horses. Well, it was going to be a busy day after all, and Athanar seemed eager to make a good impression on the local landlords. Hopefully a better one than Thornden and Saeryn had made, anyway – not that that debacle had been any fault of theirs.
He said good morning to Quin when he came in, but Quin seemed to be in a hurry and Léof had duties of his own to attend to, so they did not stop to talk. Even so, the interaction cheered Léof somewhat. It was nice to see a friendly face in the midst of so many unfamiliar ones.
