Kordia van Mora, Kassin Korabodur van Gra'Rhuel, and Lapins van Montmorency paused at the junction of the road they were traveling on.
Snow lingered in places despite the lateness of spring, and the choice before them was a difficult one.
"I say we risk the capital. It's not too far away, and no one's expecting us to be anywhere," Lapins said. "They probably don't know we're gone."
"My mother always seems to know everything about everywhere on Areth," Kassin said, tugging a bit on the short travel skirt Kordia had loaned her. "I don't want to risk getting caught."
They argued for a bit, but in the end, Kordia was the decision-maker. This journey was hers. To find and aid the Silver fox spirit whose life was linked to the Mora clan's lands. She chose to risk the capital.
"We need supplies. And swift mounts if we can find some," Kordia said, planting herself between them both and giving Kassin a reassuring touch.
