Assuaging both egos and fears, Larissa now just needed to see the full strength of their forces actually gather. In due time. Turning back to the militia, Larissa said, "Go and fetch your loved ones and the rest of the townfolk - you are free to use the courtyard as a camp for the time being. If your nerves find standing around disagreeable, please find Morgouse - she needs all the hands she can get." Back to Giselle: "We'll discuss the siege plan for the villagers another time; Castle Rend has a few nooks that I think would be fine holdout spots."<br/><br/>If neither Giselle nor the militia of Graveford needed her, Larissa would head back into the castle - she had matters of a different sort to attend to. And she could think of no better place to start than the makeshift brewing room in the basement. If she were likely to find their resident potion maker, it would likely be there.
