'Tace' enters the stables with all their belongings and quickly packs them away into the carriage, before looking at the horses and trying to think back to what he was shown during the during to Ersta.
He is actually quite surprised when he approaches each of them in turn with his hand out tentatively and they both respond well to him. He does try to speak calmly to each of them, making sure to mention their names often assuming they will, react to the words Choco and Mocha. Look at that, the city boy is a friend to the animals.
And so a little less nervously he manages to prepare them for travel, asking for help when needs from those working in the stables, and making sure each of the horses has a treat if he can find an apple or carrot or the like.
Whilst outside, he watches what is going on, but without reacting, knowing that this must be difficult on the townspeople. He nods to the Commandant when she mentions immediately leaving, and looks in surprise as the Sergeant pause to speak to Zaba. More humanity from the Sergeant, I wonder if his words will sink in.
He doesn't wait for the Sergeant to climb up onto the carriage himself, so he is ready as soon as the Sergeant is.
As they pass through the town, he also remains quiet, somber even.
When the Sergeant finally breaks the silence, he is lost in his own thoughts of what might become of Emma. And of the fact she knows a lot about him and his situation.
"Yes, Sir. I will confess I liked Emma, and worry for her. Danger seems likely to be part of the job, but attachments like that I was not expecting", he replies equally quietly.
When Lieutenant Ubwipi is mentioned, he spends a moment trying to think who that might be, recalling the gnomish Lieutenant.
"It has only been a few days, I expect he has been busy dealing with the fall out from the cave in".
