The driver introduced himself as Uncle Barum to the two boys after they sat down inside the carriages. His Silver hairs almost fully cover each side of his lean, menacing face. With beady hazel eyes, a face full of moles, and a kind smile, he seemed to be the perfect model of a bard. Surprisingly enough, his main profession was a "Bard", a tale-teller, but to make extra money to eat luxurious food, he had to drive some days a month.
Along the way, they chatted about many stuff, ranging from personal life to the matter of the World. The driver of the carriage, Uncle Barum was the most talkative among the three as he was a jolly type of person and a Bard. Due to these two traits, it was certain that he couldn't remain quiet. Almost entirely of the ride he was smiling and talking boisterously, and Whittaker got to understand how big the Water Kingdom really is.
