Aeron's travels... How about as "punishment" for stealing and as an opportunity to reform, Ravion puts Aeron to work for a day while they're preparing for the trip-- carry this, carry that, pack this, pack that. They'll keep a close eye on him, but there's still plenty of room for further mischief on Aeron's part. Then Aeron gets the idea to come along; heuses all his charm; much skepticism, huge debate...
Orual, what do you think?
