It was already freezing by the time Sybille's entourage had arrived in the encampment Sir Herod's men set up just along the fringes of Witold Fields. Supplies were running low, so the men stationed there were more than happy when the new Queen arrived with precious cargo: food. Among there number was also a quirky vendor, who refused to sell his wares unless properly paid, thus was not exactly a welcome presence.

The queen had decided to scout for these rumored werewolves allegedly running rampant in the area, but opted to allow her men (or women, in this case) to sleep in. She wasn't stupid enough to go alone, so the group may find themselves with not much more than a few empty tents and the quirky merchant to greet them when they wake.

[This is the part when you guys wake up. I'll be controlling the merchant for this short thread, which won't be graded, but you'll need to make some wise decisions for later. :NomNomNom: ]

Roslynn kept warm enough wrapped up in her fur cloak. It was still pretty cold, but it definitely helped. She stood, already fully armed, stretched and wrapped her cloak around herself again. She looked outside almost instantly spotting Sybille. Rose walked over to her. "Good morning, Your Highness. I expected to be the only one up this early. I'm impressed."

Though it had been some time ago since she was last around temperatures near freezing, it had been a small comfort to find out that her body had only needed a relatively small amount of time to adjust. It had taken her a bit longer though, and it took some time imagining people getting hit by dark spells -- quite therapeutic, mind you! -- and muttering under her breath before she realised this little fact herself.

Slowly but surely, she got back into her old habits from childhood, from growing up in a small mining village in the mountains. The cold wasn't actually that bad, to be honest, it could get far worse. She smirked as she passed a guard who was far less happy with the temperature, her mood getting better with every passing minute. Spotting the queen talking to someone a bit further off, she decided to go for broke and walk over.

- "'Morning, your Highness."

Her bow was just enough to be polite. Though she was a woman, she was adamantly opposed to curtsying. Hell, if she'd curtsy she might as well go and wear a dress, she'd prefer some actual clothes any day of the week. It was what she saw as one of the advantages of being a Shamaness: the thick robe was at least thick enough to be weather resistant, and people would hardly be able to tell what you wore under them even it it was full plate.

As for what she did wear, it was a matching set of dark colored and warm-looking vest and trousers, combined with some boots that seemed to be doing a good job at keeping her feet dry despite the snow, along with a fur lined black cloak. Hr hands were trust in the pockets of her trousers, and she seemed right at home in the cold, the cool and indifferent look in her eyes fitting right in.

Sybille was somehow still there, in spite of the fact that she clearly remembered leaving. She looked moderately confused at her surroundings.

Well, no use in questioning the odd functions of the universe. She remained staring ahead even as Roslynn addressed her, seemingly enveloped in her thoughts. "I always wake up early," she answers with a sigh, then nodded to the newcomer who had courteously greeted her. The queen never curtsied herself nowadays. "The weather is going to be horrible. We'll need to buy from that... peddler."

The queen eyed the strange man meditating on a rug. In the freezing cold. He was short, slight, and definitely not a looker. His hair was feathery in texture and his face, though humanoid, sported a beaked mouth and reptilian eyes. He was hunched as well.

"... Who wants to go first?"

Kel woke up when she felt a disturbance in the space-time continuüm.
She got dressed appropriately for the the weather, which meant she actually covered herself for once.

She wore a long, fur-lined robe, purple since she rather liked that colour, and comfy boots underneath it.
Instead of her usual hairstyle she’d opted to tie her long hair back into a ponytail.

She looked a little sleepy still, she wasn’t exactly a morning person.

“Who wants to go first what?” She said to Sybille, then followed her gaze.
“…Oh, him.” Much like the others she found him to be, well, ugly.
“I’ll go. What do we need?”

"Everything we can get. Coats, food, tents, saddle bags..." Sybille sniffed the air warily. "How many of you know how to ride?" Horses would also be good, but it made no sense to steal some from her men if this brood didn't know how to ride them.

And if worse came to worst, they could always eat their steeds.

- "I don't, the shaman i was an apprentice for never really got out much."

Maya simply shrugged, looking at the others to see if they could ride a horse or not. To be honest, she really didn't see the need to have horses in the first place. Sure, it was faster, but it was cold out, and walking kept you warm at any rate.

Then again, if Sybille would be joining them, a packhorse or two wouldn't be a bad idea. If the nobles she had seen pass through the village at times were any indication, they'd be needing a wagon train at least. Oh well, she didn't have much in the way of baggage herself, and as long as she wouldn't end up carrying someone else's bags it wouldn't be all that bad.

"I don't ride much, but I can besides if the horse didn't do as she told it to, she'd kill the poor thing. If we need to we can ride two a horse. It'll be easier for those that don't know how and it'd be warmer for the less...weather resistant." Roslynn shrugged.

“I’ll see what I can get for us, then. I assume you’ve readied money to pay the merchant?” She wasn’t about to barter with the guy without money on hand to make things go smoothly.

“I honestly couldn’t ride a horse to save my life, but I can ride with someone. It’s probably better that way, since if we’re not walking ourselves we wont keep as warm.”
She didn’t particularly want to ride with Rose after her actions at the ball, but she’d probably be stuck with her.

The princess was concerned about their ability to wade through vast amounts of snow, which was commonplace in the Stormpeak Mountains. Walking was adequate until they reached that portion of their journey.

She frowned slightly when Maya and Keleana admitted to being unable to ride a horse, but chances are it would spare a weary horses some extra work if they were content with riding with someone else. "I guess Maya could ride with me, you with Ros." Hopefully Albin wouldn't mind, though Maya was likely to be considerably lighter than Sybille, who was no frail violet.

She threw Keleana a pouch filled with coin. "I trust you have enough sense to get what we need. Food and adequate clothing is my primary concern; you'll probably need at least four layers." Tents were also high on the priority list. "We're going to spend a handful of days in the Stormpeaks before we finally find some shelter. Silvanus picked a good place to isolate himself."

"Before we get there, though, we're going to investigate this... werewolf problem. We'll leave the supplies here and pray they don't find the camp."

((Time to revive this somewhat dead topic, lulz.
I cant believe I forgot about it <.<; ))

Kel smirked.
Great, I have to ride with her…
“Try and leave my wardrobe intact this time, okay?” She said to Rose sarcastically.

She’d catch the wallet of coins.
“Food and clothes, hm? Shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
She was a little surprised at Sybille mentioning their werewolf hunt.
“We’re going after werewolves? That seems like a rather… random detour, considering our actual destination.”

Roslynn grinned a little bit, "Hahah, well, you know you deserved that one. Though, I guess I did go a little overboard ... ah well, it was fun, and very amusing. Totally worth it."

"I've no problem with looking into the wolves so long as we don't go too far off track..." she shrugged.

Kel couldnt help but grin a little at Rose.
“A little overboard? I cant show my face around nobility anymore, since you exposed my ass to all of them.”
Kel didn’t sound too amused.
“I wouldn’t call that worth it…”

She shrugged.
“But what’s done is done. I’m going to talk to the merchant and get us some clothes and food.”

She walked over to the ugly merchant, and waited for him to stop meditating and pay attention to her.
She made the money in the purse jingle, hoping it’d help.

Not very good when it came to dealing with people without using magic, Maya decided to just keep standing where she was and leave the bartering to those that hopefully were better at it than her. She shrugged at the mention of werewolves though, a small detour wouldn't hurt their cause too much and provided the others could put up a fight as well they'd only be losing a relatively small amount of time with it.

She was only half paying attention, hearing shards of the conversation between Rose and Kel, though not enough to make out what they were talking about. Not that she cared to anyway, she disliked people listening in on her conversations as well. Looking at the horse again, she wondered how she would be able to get on the blasted animal in the first place. Flipping open her notebook, she started to read through some old notes to pass the time.
