Boundary appeared from the inn garbed in his newly bought robes, his hood up over his head and his sword clipped to his belt underneath the robe with its hilt slightly sticking out from the cloth. The sun reflected off of the clean, white paint of the hilt. The morning sun and a cool breeze greeted him as he took in the new day. Waiting for an opening in the crowd, Boundary stepped away from the inn and in the direction of the gate the halfling told him about. Just outside the gate, he saw the caravan and a small group that he imagined was the group he would be traveling with. Among them he could see the rather burly lady from the inn, a cloaked man that had escaped his attention yesterday and a drakekin. Boundary had not seen a drakekin up close before, they were not very common back home where he used to live. He walked up to the caravan and lightly knocked on the side of it, attracting the attention of the driver, who stuck his head out and gave him a once over.<br/><br/>"Top of the morning." Boundary said in an obviously fake upbeat tone of voice, "How do you do?"<br/><br/>"I am alright kid, and keep your hands off the wagon, some valuable cargo is in there." the driver said, annoyed.<br/><br/>"Valuable cargo?" Boundary asked.<br/><br/>"Yeah, it may look like simply lumber and mundane supplies? But there are quite a few valuables in there that will fetch a pretty sum."<br/><br/>"Hmmm, the little man did not mention that."<br/><br/>"You're getting paid aren't you? Who cares if a few details are left out?" the driver replied with a matter-of-fact tone. Boundary decided not to comment on that strange reply the driver gave him. Of course it was important to know all the details when there was a possibility of danger.<br/><br/>"Do you know anything about where we are going?" Boundary asked.<br/><br/>"Just that there is a war with the dragons up there, bad stuff."<br/><br/>"You are not nervous about heading towards a war torn area?" Boundary asked once more.<br/><br/>"Heh...tis a safe enough place, besides I am getting paid quite a lot to get this delivery done." the driver said, smirking at the mention of money.<br/><br/>"If you say so..." Boundary replied dryly.<br/><br/>"What about you kid? You do not have the look of battle about you, no matter how you are dressed. That sword of yours better have a good pair of hands swinging it or else the halfling might as well split your share with the rest of us."<br/><br/>Boundary frowned slightly, then gave a confident grin. "Do not worry, I am more than capable of handling myself, same as the others I hope."<br/><br/>"Whatever you say kid, just try not to get in the way or anything. And please stop leaning on the blasted wagon!"<br/><br/>Boundary jumped a little and did not notice that he had started leaning on the caravan, getting off of the wagon, he walked away from the driver and sat down against a roadside fence beside the man and the woman and her bull.<br/><br/>"We are going to be leaving for Shoven soon, so be ready to depart." The driver said, Boundary giving him an affirming wave in response. The young traveler focused and began going through the morning exercise his master had taught him to do every day. He tried to visualize his aura, the magical energy that surrounded his body, and to grab hold of it. His master had told him that his aura was a bit out of control and that in order to operate at optimum efficiency would have to  do a short morning meditation to settle the energies and make sure that he was not wasting energy in a combat scenario and so that his aura was not as noticeable to people. It had become a part of his routine and he smoothly went through each step, focusing on his energy and bringing it closer to his body as opposed to all over the place like it usually was. He closed his eyes and just let the feeling of his energy consume him as he meditated.
