After exchanging a few greetings with Percival, the family loaded their things into the carriage before setting off on their journey. Elden was 17 hours away on horseback, cutting through a small section of the forest on the way. Meaning that they would arrive by morning if nothing went wrong.
Neel, Gray, Armin, and Lillian sat together in the second carriage, while Arya, Percival, Leon, and Streya sat together in the first. It was rather quiet for the first few hours, as rude as it was to remain silent when he had guests, Percival simply didn't know what subjects to bring up around commoners, much less children at that.
