The group walked along the road at a hurried pace, with captain Eleanor at the lead they were making up for lost time and covering the distance.
Lirian was walking just half a pace ahead of the captain as she continued to maintain that half pace distance between them.
"I would like for you and your disciple to travel with the group instead of moving ahead on your own," Eleanor stated her request, but it sounded more like a demand.
Lirian nodded and fell into contemplation before replying, "If I stick to this group it's going to take me several days of extra travel time, time which would be much better spent in Traunt," he said in a concerned tone.
Eleanor breathed out softly, "I'm afraid that I must still insist," she said, "There has been a lot of destress in these parts since House Kurt's troubles started,"
"The influx of refugees has only increased the trouble, and there are bandits cropping up all over the place," she said.
