When the time came for them to get moving, Leofwine awoke with little complaint or trouble; he just needed to take a few minutes to put on his armor (as sleeping in scale mail is rather absurd).  He took his backpack off, and lashed it tightly onto his horse, which he led along by the reins; choosing to walk instead of ride. Along with the saddlebags, he hoped that it made his horse look like a fine prize as well; not just for the fact that it was a good, stout riding horse, but for whatever loot the bags and pack may contain in it. If he wasn't riding on the beast, one might assume it was a heavy burden; perhaps laden with gold coins, given the weight of the metal?<br/><br/>If the road was wide enough, he marched alongside Ares and the cart; if it was small enough that they needed to go single file, then he would take the lead. He had sturdier armor, and a longer weapon. Plus, he had his night-vision, so he wasn't reliant on the magical light that Ares needed as a human, and which was also needed to draw attention to themselves. "I can't wait until we get to the elves. Nothing beats Elven wine, I'm telling you! And the women... Oh, just you wait until you see those lasses, my friend." This is entirely not like Leofwine. For sure, he did like his wine, but he was not one for drinking to the point of intoxication; nor was he one to talk so suggestively of women. Ares should know him well enough to know that this seems out of character for the half-elf... but then again, he's also being rather loud. A bit louder than one would reasonably expect someone to be, though he is not outright shouting.<br/><br/>"What are you planning to spend your gold on, eh?" As he asks this, he uncaps his waterskin, and takes a drink from it, before capping it again; then hooking it onto a belt on his armor. Perhaps the one thing that would be telling about his attempt to provoke an attack on them is the fact he's not actually looking at his companion, but past him; into the surrounding trees; keeping an eye out for trouble.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2017-09-08 14:51:30, TheHangedMan (uid: 12227) rolls: 1d20 Result: 2 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=107055)<br/></div></div>
