The Mayor, having remembered the conversation he had with Zepher last night, gave him a tight nod of his head. He didn't like the defiance Zepher seemed to possess for authority figures. Him growing outside the capital could explain it, but the Mayor didn't like it nonetheless. He approached Aristophillia with a smile and a tight hug, mentioning how she would not be forgotten and that her name would go down in the archives of history.<br/><br/>After the Mayor was finished speaking with Aristophillia, he turned to Zepher, giving him a firm handshake. "Don't fail us. I know you aren't a practicer of the faith, but we're putting our lives in your hands." That was all he said before backing away and watching as the group mounted their camels. Parisi's pulled the cart along as he was the lightest one amongst them. Upon the cart were things like dried food supplies and money, a large tent as well as 3 bed rolls and plenty of blankets for the 3 of them. Not to mention clothing as well.<br/><br/>Aristophillia gave one final wave to the teary eyed Madrona, who was audibly blubbering. Ari couldn't help but smile before the group headed for the outer wall of the capital. Their path before them was crowded with people and they all threw flowers, or the like, before them as they led their camel. Ari smiled and waved, but was feeling very heavy hearted and before they even made it out the gates, her smile was replaced by a more somber look. They had a job to do and it was time to buckle down.<br/><br/>"We were given, what..about a month to get there?" Parisi spoke aloud, not noticing Ari's nod at his question. "It should only take us about a week or 2 to get there, depending on the weather. We'll restock our supplies at Dark Ridge, I think." His voice was so..aggravating. Aristophillia awaited Zepher's comment to Parisi. She had already predicted that Parisi would slow them down, knowing that he had no way of knowing how to protect himself, but also that he would be such a stalewart. She hoped that at least or two of there stops held a pleasant surprise for her.
