"Crap! How long until they get here?"
Mericel says "I'm not sure, maybe two hours?"
"Okay, we will deal with it. First, I need to finish freeing these girls."
Mericel says "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
"Go back and keep an eye on them, see if you can overhear anything."
Mericel says "Am I looking for something specific?"
"Yes, it is weird for that many troops to be marching away from the border. I want to know what the king is up to if possible."
Mericel says "Alright, I will see what I can find out."
"Thank you."
Annya says "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Sure, you can help Myria. We need to get everyone organized, figure out who can ride, and how soon everyone will be in shape to move."
Annya says "Sure! Most of these people are my people anyway!"
