Jocelyn mentally smiled when she saw the midwife's reaction to having Hunter there. She believed Hunter sensed the hostility because he started barking and growling at her. He was soon corrected by his master, and sat down. The apprentice was going to speak until she was hushed by her mentor, and getting stern instructions not to speak to anyone unless spoken to. What was she, her mother? She could say damn well what she pleased. The midwife wasn't going to take that from her at all.<br/><br/>"Yes," she spoke simply before resuming quiet. This was going to be such an interesting day regardless. She'd finally get to visit the manor, and see what the gossip in town was all about. She knew Hunter wouldn't be needed, but she brought him to agitate her superior. She had this eerie feeling that this trip to the manor would be one that made an impression on her life, in one form or another. She wasn't quite sure how, but she simply couldn't shake the feeling.<br/><br/>Soon, with Hunter by her side, Jocelyn began walking in the direction of the manor. It seemed to be a long, tiring walk there since it reigned on the outskirts of the village. It didn't seem to have an effect on the young woman or her canine companion. It might be more difficult for the midwife due to age, but that's what Jocelyn expected. She expected to get ahead and get to the manor and enter before she got called out for it. The anticipation had caused her to sprint towards the entrance of the rather large manor. It certainly was old and had an intimidating appearance but that didn't stop her from going to the door and knocking. This was the moment of truth.
