Sir Kohran wrote:"So, what errand were you on? What would bring a reasonable-looking bloke like you to this mess of a country?"
“The Order of course”, Alcander answered with a slight smile. “I hate to be secretive but… it´s done now anyway.”
Galdrutt nodded gravely. “Oh, I see. Can´t reveal all secrets to complete strangers, eh?” He chuckled dryly.
“Sorry”, Alcander said with a slow shrug of his head and looking thoughtfully at the ground below his feet. “Anyway…” He dismounted his horse and shook Galdrutt´s hand. Galdrutt looked a bit sceptical at first but then his face broke into a smile and he chuckled lowly.
“Well met, Gnae-Ang-whatever.”
“Indeed. Why don´t you let Alba carry your bag?” he glanced at the horse and winked. “Our homelands are in the same direction from here.”
“Who said I was going towards the Royal Knight lands?”
“Oh, I´m young but not stupid.”
Galdrutt laughed heartily. “Well then, let us go, or do you want a visit to the inn first?”
“Nah, seems a bit too rough for me.”
“I wish I could say the same…” He fell silent for a moment but then he winked and put his bag on the back of the white horse. “Towards civilized lands then, Gn…”
“Alcander.”
“Alcander yes… Towards that horizon, Young Sir Alcander.”
And with that the two men set out on their journey towards the setting sun.
