Midnight Leave.

The glow of candlelight inside the Mansion was dim but the lack of light did not bother him. Jared had made sure that he was packed and ready for travel. He hadn't even slept in the bed Rensain had kindly offered - his mind full of thoughts for the future and what would have to happen from here.

Too frustrated to give a damn anymore, he had realized some harsh truths. To just leave would be better all round for everyone involved. Since he had already been villified a thousand times before, people wouldn't expect anything less from him. Besides, the crown Prince surely had a right to do as he wished.

He leaned down and planted his report to be given to Vladamir down on the side table next to the foyer, and hauled up his things.

Opening the door, he quietly as possible stepped outside and began to make his way across the courtyard to catch a horse, knowing Ralean would be waiting too.

~Ral stands next to a pair of saddled horses, wearing his dragonscale armor which he had brought with him to Icehold in case of any situations. his family blade and the shadow dagger are at his hip, opposite each other. a travel pack and unstrong bow with quiver of arrows are on each horse as well, and provisions he had acquired. he had left a gracious thank you note to Maire and Rensain in the foyer, along with sincere apologies over the abrupt departure, and had spoken to the carriage driver of returning Lady Amarra to Merriddia if it was required. He waited only for Jared to finish up now.

he soothes one of the nervous animals with a gentle touch, glancing to the door and then up at the sky, narrowing his eyes slightly at the darkness~

"Ral, I can't thank you enough..."

His tone was hushed and urgent, as he caught up. His gear was accounted for, but he was travelling light so that they could travel fast. It was in Jareds mind to stock up on weapons in Grorr.

He patted his friend on the shoulder, taking the reigns of one horse and spent a few minutes, squinting in the dark trying to get his bag tied on secure. One foot in the spur, he hoisted himself up, sitting straight and steadying the horse.

Waiting for Ralean to be ready, he grins.

"All set? Lets go."

Nuding his horse with a click, the horse set pace for Grorr, non-phased by the rumbling thunder in the sky.

~Ral hoists himself easily into the saddle, patting his mount's neck and grinning in the darkness. "Let's catch the wind, my friend." he spurs his horse forward as Jared does, having already arranged fort he gate to be opened for their exit.

he turns to Jared as they leave the manor gates, chuckling. "feels good, doesn't it?"~

"Feels good? Its incredible!"

He laughs, allowing the horse to quicken in pace, leaving the gates as they groaned open.

"Wooo!"

Just the rush of air that brushed past him, was enough. He finally felt free of worry and other peoples actions wouldn't get to him anymore. This had been an important lesson, one that would be lifelong.

"Bring on the open road!"
