Following suit, Shift made his way to the ground, but wasted little time reaching the front of the carriage. Grabbing hold of the reigns, he looked over the silent travelers, always carrying their own weight without regard. Yet no matter how long he roamed the world, hunting for treasures or winning favor, there'd always come a point when he'd express what he carried - if not to others, to himself. Unlike these horses, that weight always stayed with him, in one form or another.<br/><br/>Mulling over these thoughts, and the slip-up that inspired them, Shift took a light, almost absent, tone upon hearing Lucas's question. "Just a change of clothes. I'll grab it before heading in, but I'm gonna find somewhere to fasten these two; they've been going at it a while now." Petting the large creatures, as if to thank them, he takes a steadying breath. Turning just enough to face Lucas, Shift looks him in the eyes, his gaze somewhat lighter than before. "Thanks again for putting up with us. I'll find you inside soon." With that, he began leading the horses around back in search of somewhere secure, and also to give his host a moment alone. After how he'd acted on the ride in, Shift felt he owed it to Lucas. A chance to catch his breath and unwind in peace.
