It was sweet of Jord to hug her, "Thank you so much. I am almost ready. I had better check and make sure I have enough food. I am not sure if anyone is packing their own or if someone is in charge of all of the food. Maybe I should ask Lord Vendatti. We need to be organized. Go ahead and get the things you need. I will meet you in the courtyard in an hour as he suggested." In a bit of daring she hoped he would like, she leaned to kiss his cheek. "I am glad you are coming with us."<br/><br/>Letting him go with a cheerful wave she turned to Nys Vendatti. "I hope you will call me Jia. I don't think we need to be all formal on this trip. Do we have someone designated to pack enough food for the trip? Maybe we should arrange for a small wagon or cart?" She was thinking of the time it would take to travel there and back.<br/><br/>"I know it took three days for the slow moving wagon I was on from the village near the ruins. We should be able to travel quicker if we have personal mounts. We have goats, they are quick and agile. We can't fly everywhere." she smiled at the Blanqua.
