Oriana stepped up when the final member of their party approached, an explanation dying on her lips as Adelise's fist connected firmly with Silas's face before she could even get a word out. She winced and stepped back again, deciding<em>not</em>to explain her and Horo's parts in the escapade after all. In any case, the rogue seemed quite content to take all the credit. Instead she busied herself looking through the Olegs' wares, emerging a few minutes later with a box of tea leaves and a scroll to replace the one she'd wasted on their first bandit encounter.<br/><br/>She retrieved her horse and strapped on its gear, securing her rucksack to the back of the saddle before climbing up. She shot Marisa a rather sheepish grin, but voiced her consent when the witch asked to tag along.<br/><br/>Tsoni seemed content to stalk through the frost-covered planes, viciously pouncing on unsuspecting plants, clearly amused by the crunch of frost beneath her paws. Without much to make note of in the wide, open fields Oriana spends most of the ride idly sketching in her journal or humming tunelessly to herself. "<strong>I hardly think he can claim to be the one who was abused last night!</strong>" she said, speaking for the first time durring the trip, though the rakish grin on her lips seemed to indicate that she hadn't minded being the victim all that much. For her own part she was quite comfortable, Johd's healing having had the added benefit of relieving much of what otherwise would have been considerable aches.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the little hut the sorceress was quite surprised by the extent of the disrepair. Lawrence had mentioned that the man was a bit off kilter, but this was more than she'd been expecting. "<strong>Wait here...</strong>" she said to Marisa, dropping down to the ground and patting her horse on the neck. She nodded after Lydia and followed Silas to the hut, but gingerly stepped through the overgrown greenery to approach one of the broken windows rather than the door. Shielding her eyes with a hand she leaned forward and peered in as the rogue pounded on the door.
