As Angis and Tommi had executed them all as a warning to others (approved by Titus as acting Townmaster) there was no need. She spent a few days adjudicating a few petty crimes, training her Julkounian equivalent (new to the job), and helping out where she could, then planned to ride back to Daggerford on her own.Tommi, during this time, had found himself a lute, and when they weren't busy, he and Sherlen would sit together near the river, and talk as he tuned. Then she would listen while he played. He was a natural, and he improved quickly. Tommi had found himself more in the way in Julkoun as the town worked its way towards its new normal. He had not accepted any formal positions, and as Lady Morwen had taken personal control of the training of the town militia, as well as her duties as acting Townmaster taken from Titus, Tommi had little to do. He tried to help with some rebuilding, but he was no carpenter. He wasn't particularly suited to carrying things, and he was too distracted to be useful as an organiser. When Sherlen told him that she would be leaving, he decided to join her and return to Daggerford. Tommi was given a horse to return to the Duke's stables - one of the extras that had been brought by Lady Morwen to hurry the trip there. They travelled along the Delimbiyr Route, just the two of them, at a leisurely pace. The first night, they shared a tent at a road-side campsite. The second, they shared a bed at a small hamlet's lone inn. The journey went on for four more days in similar fashion, and Tommi arrived in Daggerford the happiest he had ever been, with gold in his pocket. Sherlen took his horse to return it to the stable, but before she left him, she kissed him and said, "See to your mother, Tommi. She will have missed you."Tommi meant to do as she asked, he really did, but before he went home, he stopped at the Happy Cow Tavern, to tell his friend Lionel all about the adventure that he had missed.</blockquote>
