Larry helps Mistral onto her horse, then swings himself onto his own with practised ease. Throwing Chaos a rather stern look, he shouts ~ "Guard the tavern well, buddy! I'm counting on ya!" ~ And heaves inwardly as the wolf reluctantly nods his head.
The beady-eyed hawk pauses in mid-flight, debating whether or not to stay with her good friend. At this, Mistral smiles and calls ~ "Keep him company, Isabeau! If I need you, I'll call you." ~ I can't bring you to danger...
With that, the companions set off on their journey, galloping away frantically in search of their friend, the indomitable Spree.
