I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

WHO: Jesper Fahey, Ciri, Claude von Riegan, and Gideon Nav
WHAT: It's Quest Time Baby
WHERE: Throughout the journey to Solvunn's Supply Run
WHEN: September
WARNINGS: Eventual violence!



With Solvunn providing aid, the leaders of Thorne and the Free Cities have asked some of their trusted Summoned to travel to an agreed-upon meeting point to retrieve the supplies, check them, and bring everything back safely. This will take two weeks out of Cadens to do. While portals will be utilized to cut down on travel time, they will still need to cover the remaining distance of some miles to reach their final destination each way.

The Free Cities will ask the Summoned to accompany some soldiers to help guard the supply transport. They will be taking the southern trail (shown by the dotted lines) across the desert, traveling west to the forest that sits between the Solvunn and Free Cities border. While a portal will take the transport team as close as possible, characters will still need to make the rest of the journey by horse, ensuring the wagons come through the portal safely. They will also need to watch for the usual beasts and bandits, as well as take into account weather, terrain, and other hazards. To complete the assignment, they must successfully bring the supplies back to the waiting portal and into Cadens.

One more shrug from Claude happens at her response, this time just with one shoulder as he keeps his eyes out on the horizon they're meant to be watching. He's aware of how it sounds, just as he's every bit as aware only those who've experienced something along the same lines are the only ones who don't have some kind of physical or verbal recoil over it. Asking if that's the case for Ciri, however, is decidedly not his business at this point.

"Made it easier to get by is all it was. I'm sure it says more about me than anything else."

And it is far easier to stare at desert with nothing in it rather than thinking about the collapse of Libertas, or how working those rescue and infirmary shifts pushed him to team up with the military when he'd worked to avoid them for months. Here they are, and they'll return to what they left behind soon enough.

Maybe it's for that reason Claude doesn't feel the need to find anything else to say for a change, and why he doesn't bother break the quiet which falls between them after until it's time for other, lighter subjects to come up eventually. There'll be time enough for other talks later without soldiers overhearing whatever else might be said.
