He honestly didn't care about who liked or didn't his decision, it was made to keep rumors from spreading. Too many already knew about him traveling with a demon and dragon, and he didn't want more to guess.<br/><br/>He glanced up at Xendi as she arrived, a bit earlier than expected, and was glad the horses were effectively hobbled, despite them screaming in utter terror. "Xendi, shift form before the horses manage to bolt. We need them to pull the wagon, and I don't trust the bandits to have mounts better than food for you. If they do have some, then we can sell them, so let me check before you start chowing on anything. I want us a bit closer to the fortress before we camp, but not being in the open would be ideal. There is a nearby mountain side, see if there is a spot to house us for a few days, as well as the horses and cart. Within a half day of the fortress would be ideal, but I doubt they have anything that close they don't know about, if they are anywhere near decent quality."
