[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4927487, member: 11146"] Ben drops Talashia, grins, and roughs up the hair at the top of her head with a meaty palm. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"You got taller, Tal. Hey, where'd Ernie go?"[/COLOR] Ben seems to suddenly realize that his comrade in arms has left, which causes him to peer into the fog past Talashia. [COLOR="sandybrown"] "C'mon, Tal. Let's go see where Ernie went."[/COLOR] Big Ben lumbers down the byway and soon enough rounds the corner around the White Deer, swatting at fog the whole time as if it were a gnat in his face. At the Gate, the smaller of the pair of guardsman replies to Tac with a shake of the head and a suspicious glance at Elyra, who stoops by the open gate doors in a crouch to hunt for tracks. [COLOR="sandybrown"]"No, the watch afore us shoulda had them doors shut fast."[/COLOR] With that, Ernie the Small pushes past Tac and, picking up a stout length of wood leaning against the wall to the left of the inside of the Gate, closes the doors and slides the wooden bar into place. [COLOR="sandybrown"]"That'll keep 'em out."[/COLOR] Ernie declares, brushing splinters and dust from his hands.
