16 Erathisway 4520: Return to Belhaim
Arkomir writes...
All three of us rise early today and settle things up in the Serpent & Unicorn ready to travel. We saddle up our horses again, make sure they have an apple each, and head out on the road to Belhaim via Market Gate.
We stop at The Cleansing Wave Waystation for lunch and add a small addendum to our note. Katya is intrigued by this place and how old this is. We have a look at the room again, and note that the sleeping spaces have been arranged specifically. We investigate the central spot again and there appears to have been more care taken with this space above the others. Maybe this was Bella's sleeping space.
We continue on, taking care to look for Essa on the road as we make our way to Belhaim. There is a bit of traffic on the road today, but we do not see her. As the sun starts to go down, we make our way down the incline to the Western gate of Belhaim. It is almost dark as we pass through the gate. We write a quick note that we hand to the guards to pass on to Moulten. The note reads:
Lord Advocate, We have finally made it back to Belhaim and would be keen to catch up with you at your convenience regarding a certain errand.
From here we head through Belhaim to the Chandlerveil. The city is clean and reasonably quiet as we head through this part of town. At the house, the front windows are lit by candles. We leave our horses with Katya and head to the front door to be greeted by Holly. We give her a big hug hello and then head around back to agist our horses. I head into the house first and fill Holly in on the Katya situation. I also set a few ground rules with Katya for whilst we are here regarding sleeping arrangements. Holly is at the door and is receiving a note from one of the town guard. The note is from the Lord Advocate but not necessarily in his handwriting. It welcomes us back to Belhaim and he looks forward to meeting up with us tomorrow morning. There are two investigators from Battervold here as well who want to speak with us. I guess we know what we are doing tomorrow then...
We spend the evening at home, with a delightful meal that Holly has put together for us. We catch up with Holly over dinner and get a sense of how the city is going. The city is slowly coming back to life, but it is taking time. Work has begun on rebuilding the docks area of town to rejuvenate that area. She has been keeping in touch with Kade & Deanna as well - the new construction in town is keeping them busy. Kade & June will be moving into the space above the wheelwrights shop. @Tal is doing well, and is taking on more and more of the business of her master. Dharra recounts the story of the Confluence Ball, with help from Katya who chimes in with some details. The night winds down naturally, I help Holly with packing away the meal and looking over the house. We offer to aid Holly if she finds a field of study she wishes to pursue. We all head to our rooms for the night and take a long rest.
