Still, better than expected was still better than expected and for that he was grateful.After awakening, early, he promptly promptly donned his overcoat, which he had taken off before retiring for the night briskly. While he did not do so in a rush or sloppily, he did not waste time in doing so either; he always felt exposed without both of his coats on.After he had his overcoat in place and fastened, he then, and much more casually, donned his boots, over belt and then his cloaked mantle. Again properly dressed, he stowed his bedroll onto his horse and then set about to do what little else he had to do before the messenger arrived.After the messenger and Alden arrived, Alexander took the two messages and read them while the messenger left and Alden prattled on. Alexander was pleased with his decision to prod Wet-Nose’s ego the night before; as he saw it, it was best if the tracker was eager for the hunt.He then turned towards Alden; who did not seem as light footed as before, he also seemed like he was trying to act as before despite his present condition. Having not know Alden beforehand Alexander would have gave it no thought, but the man wanted Alexander to pickup his drinking tab the night before; and if not for the stench of the camp he thought he might have smelt the stench of Alcohol blowing from Alden’s mouth. “Nay, you should ride the animal like a man and not draw attention to us; we do not unwanted attention while we are traveling in the company of Gnolls; my orders even state to avoid letting the Gnolls be seen. So ride normally, I don’t care if you enjoy it or if you find it utter misery, just don’t act out to draw attention: I believe you’re able to do so.” He commented before telling Alden “But for now, bring Net-Nose and Poo-Breath, they will be accompanying us and I will give them an additional command before we set off: I wish to do so soon, so you being swift about it would be preferable.” He finished while looking at Alden, he would have spoken up to see if Alden filched because of a hangover, but that would help nothing at this point.</blockquote>
