Alphail MacRoach:
Aphail doesn't mind sleeping in front of a warm fire again, on dry beddin for a florin.
Caith shrugs, hopeful at the thought of a roof over her head for another night, but looks to Brannon as she eats, still following the conversation about the table.
At the Hearthwarden's agreement, she relaxes visibly, and smiles gratefully in Alphail's direction as she finishes her meal. Caith drinks lightly, though happily appreciating the cider's taste, as she compliments Gond on it's quality and makes polite conversation on various matters as she waits patiently to greet the moon at midnight.
In the morning, she pays her share of the tavernkeep's bill without complaint or argument. The hedgewitch seems cheerful enough on the road, if quiet but speaking of the useful wayside plants to be found along it.
------
The howling in the darkness draws a long and wary look into the night from Caith, not so much fear as grim recognition. She says little, other than
"Could be wolves, but may nay be..." as she piles more kindling on the campfire with a stern expression on her face.
-------
The equine corpse on the road the next morning is not a welcome sight to Caith, and she stops, looks to Brannon and says cautiously
"That nay looks to be a good sign to me. Wait a moment..." as she is intent on looking around the animal's body carefully before she investigates it further.
"Nay touch it!" she says urgently to Usopi
"Nay afore we know what slew yon horse anyway."
