Gemlem returned without anyone ever knowing he'd left early in the morning with an armful of supplies and kicking at the heels of a rather despondent looking Roen.  The older gentleman, obviously nursing a hangover, now sat eyes cast downwards peeling potatoes while the sharply jabbing finger of Eshanna Maile darted dangerously close to his nose with every viperous word that jerked from her lips. Yes, indeed, for servants that were perhaps unaccustomed to soldiers, the tiny camp of rangers that had parked itself inside their domain was quite undomesticated.Mavic Larigne sat imperiously in a rough wooden chair, aloofly expelling small rings out in the courtyard from smoking a delicate, elongated pipe. His enormous, rough-looking hands stroked his beard in thought as the grizzled veteran Merres sat on a short stool in front of him, vigorously polishing his boots while his son Anders stood ramrod stiff at attention and gave the Captain a report on the events of the last night. After some coaxing, one of the house cats had deigned to sit upon his lap, and his other hand scratched absently under the animal's jaw.Thom the Elder and Gemlem had held a whispered conference earlier, and had left for the day to "see the sights" and no doubt obtain whatever largess they had decided was needful. Meanwhile, Mishell had led an eager looking Miggens out to the stables to tend the horses, much to the jealous resignation of Thom Younger, who stood unhappily at the front door of the temporary headquarters of the small cavalry unit.It jus' ain't fair, he thought, glumly looking out at the vastly menacing looking landscape of a peaceful city street. I was up all night!OOC: Note to self, never try this with any more followers than this.</blockquote>
