Backscene: A Stroll Around Redcliffe
Who: Rhocanth Garal, Signy Dagna
Where: Redcliffe
When: 9:45, the day Alistair's group stays over in Redcliffe.
Summary: Curious about the sights, Rhocanth asks Signy if she would like to go and see them.
Rating: G-PG-Probably fine.
Wagons, Rhocanth made note for future reference, did not make for comfortable long-distance travel. "Agh..." he muttered to himself, sticking his palm into his back and stretching out. A bit of a pop issued from his joints, a wince crawling over his face.
"Do you hear that?" He stole a glance at Signy beside him. "I sound like an old man already."
He grinned playfully at her, certainly not yet tired of her company. They had had fine conversations on their way, from the gravest of their circumstances to more lighthearted surface questions. After he had explained to her how he came to be where he was, and she had shared more about the fate of House Dagna, he felt an even stronger sort of kinship to her. She was a fine friend, and as he grew to know her better, his hesitation about mages eased. No, his previous assertion must have been right. She would never do anything to purposely harm an innocent, he thought.
Actually, he rather liked entertaining her. They had all the time in the world on the back of that wagon, when he was not riding with Lord Coan. Now that they had settled for the night in Redcliffe, he looked forward to the rest of the day as much as the situation would allow.
They stood now in the Inn, where they had been put up for the night. Dwarves didn't take up much sleeping space, fortunately, and slept a little less than others, so hopefully it wasn't as hard to find them room. Rhocanth approved of the good sense they had to put the inn beside the main gates, and on top of the hill with such an amazing view. When the cart trundled into Redcliffe, Rhocanth had sat up straight and eager to see the endless sheet of water at the bottom of it. It felt as though he might fall right in, and after too long was frankly a little sickening, but nonetheless something to remember.
The thought of the view outside, combined with the dim and slightly crowded atmosphere indoors, gave him the urge to see it again. He nodded to Signy and asked, "I would like to take a walk. Would you care to accompany me? I thought we might go down toward the docks. Perhaps there is a general store we might visit." He offered her his arm, should she like to take it.
