He doesn't want to wait further. The castle afforded comfort, luxuries for each of the group, and the promise for more to come. But they were already proving too tempting... providing reasons to stay rather than head off an accomplish the mission."Things will be well in hand if we leave now," he nods, offering deferential support, and maybe pushing him to action even sooner. Looking around, he sees the others continue to look to him as a kind of leader, and (truthfully) the Colonel sees himself that way as well. But he's determined to let the young lad find his feet. He doesn't want to usurp that authority, but he's already bristling with the possibility of the delay being stretched out further."Supplies will be set, sir," he says, confident that things can be pulled together for the morning. The use of the honorific comes naturally to the Colonel, and wil continue unless Donnell says otherwise. "A group as small as us should be ready to go whenever you are ready."The Old Soldier is ready to undertake a new role as diplomat. The sooner they get to Howling Crag, the sooner they can put the worries about the giants to rest.[ooc]Let's get going! No waiting for 3 days. We have info from the scouts. Time to set off.[/ooc]</blockquote>
