The trip back was mostly uneventful. Arran knew about the skeleton so he could easily avoid passing through the keep and with that the most dangerous part of his journey was bypassed. A light storm did come around and make the mage a bit sodden as he neared his town though.<br/><br/>When he arrived at the laboratory Jachym was working on some sort of potion. The pot that he was using was steaming and he was stirring it slowly. "Good, you're back and not a moment too soon. Bring the package over to me, you're free for the rest of the day."<br/><br/>Though the mage paused and resisted the urge to laugh before delivering the next bout of news. Some of the town's young men had already gotten used ot seeing the apprentice mage and had inquired about his disappearance.  "You're admirers have missed you though. You can find them in the usual place."
