While he could only assume that most of the people that came here were in it for the promised reward, he had a much simpler goal in mind, at least in practice. His benefactor told him of some rare herbs that only grew in the Greenbelt that they had wanted and while the idea of such a lengthy and dangerous trip gave the boy pause, he was never one to question their orders.<br/><br/>One thing that he didn't realize would be so troublesome was just how much walking they had to do. Alni lagged behind everyone else, struggling to keep up, his lack of any real experience with adventuring made woefully obvious. However, upon reaching the the outpost, he caught a bit of a second wind, rushing ahead at the prospect of some proper rest. "Oh gods, I really hope they have a proper place to rest here. I'm so tired of this damned wilderness." he said to no one in particular, hoping the others in their little group shared his sentiment and didn't want to just leave as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>The smell of the stew left Alni practically drooling and it took quite a bit of willpower to not just immediately stuff his face. A few days of nothing but trail rations had left the boy positively ravenous! Fortunately, it seemed he didn't have to hold himself back for very long as Svetlana was quick to welcome them in, allowing them to help themselves to the food and wine. Alni graciously accepted her generosity, immediately grabbing a bowl of stew and some wine before sitting down. He refrained from scarfing it down quickly, instead eating at a moderate pace, not wanting to appear piggish to the others, but he did allow Largya to get the introductions out of the way for him.<br/><br/>Once the growling in his stomach had quieted, he looked up at the alchemist, who had just finished gushing about the outpost. "It's a bit bare bones, honestly. Though I definitely agree that the cooking is most certainly welcome. I suppose as long as we continue to get meals this good, I can't really complain... much." he replied, immediately turning his attention back to his bowl afterwards.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
