When the men shook hands she felt a little better since she trusted Balthazarâ€™s judgment and when he asked when they were leaving she watched the merchant.. He took back his hand and downed the rest of his ale in one go and after a loud disgusting belch he spoke, â€œI promised the little lady as soon as you got here and yes I will provide you both with food and drink until we reach the next town.â€ He stood up, as id four others, â€œThese are my brothers, Connar, Sean, and David.â€ The three men looked a lot like their brother Shamus, burly, with hair in shades of brown, and a mischievous look in their eyes. She kind of liked the bunch even though they were a bit cruder then the company she held when with her father. At the mental reminder of him she stood up and nodded, â€œMe and my companion have two steeds to retrieve and then we can leave.â€ The men nodded and with that they left the tavern but she remained close enough to Balthazar that her cloak continually brushed against his own. She was nervous, excited, and wanted to share that excitement with him but she knew they had to look professional and her acting like a giddy air head would not help them.<br/><br/>When they were outside she checked the hood to her cloak twice as she made her way to the stables. She didnâ€™t bother looking to see if Bal followed since she could hear the sound of his footsteps on the gravel ground that they walked over. When she went up to the mare she greeted her in a friendly manner and since she was happy with the horseâ€™s state she tipped the stable boy. Bothe the horses had been brushed down and the mud cleaned from their hooves which made her happy that they were given good care. She didnâ€™t get onto her hose since the last thing she needed was to be a big target for anyone to see or aim at, â€œAre you okay with this arrangement?â€ She had to ask now that they had a little privacy, she could see the brothers and their caravan, pulled by two horses, and waiting for them.
