It was getting later on in the evening, the sun starting to set behind the cluster of trees and buildings off in the western distance. Emrys and Madoc had no need to hurry their pace any longer. Emrys felt certain they'd lost the last person on their trail some ways back, but that didn't mean he didn't want to get into town and into an inn for food and a real bed before nightfall. It had been some time since they'd had a decent meal, or since they'd slept on anything but the ground.
Emyrs flipped a coin between his fingers as they walked. It was a gold standard, a coin accepted pretty much everywhere, because it was gold. It didn't matter much what was stamped on it. Its size and weight gave it value. Its softness told him it was pure gold as well, not a mixture of metals some people used to cheat others. He should know. He'd done it before. "I want a bowl of stew and a meatpie," he said suddenly. They hadn't said much in a bit, just walking in comfortable silence, but Emrys knew Madoc would have little trouble following his silent line of thought. Madoc could always follow Emrys, even if he didn't quite agree, or found himself amused by his partner instead. "And the biggest cuppa ale you ever saw."
Not to mention a bath, because they smelled of the road. His clothes could use a washing as well, he decided, but at least they - and he - didn't smell foul. Just well-traveled.
