The Shepherds and I are outside waiting at the field, for everyone else to ready up. It seems like we're missing a few bodies, but I can't point out which? Especially it feels like there's some big armored person with us, but I can't even see them! My mind must be playing with me.
"Is everyone ready? We've a long march ahead." Just then I saw Stahl dismount his horse and started running towards us in full speed. Wow he must in such a hurry, as he began panting after reaching us.
"Why am I the last to hear about this expedition to Ferox?" Stahl asks. I was sure that Vaike told him about the march? Unless he forgot to, like always...
"Huh? Vaike was supposed to... Vaike! Did you forget to tell Stahl about our mission?" Disappointment filled in Lissa's voice.
Yeah I was right he forgot... AGAIN!
"The Vaike never forgets! ...I just don't always remember, is all..." Vaike scratches his head with the back handle of his axe.
"Ugh... I swear, you'd forget your own name if you weren't constantly saying it yourself! Speaking of which, are you SURE you remembered your axe this time?" Even though Lissa could see Vaike holding his axe, just to tease and test him.
"Oh my gods Vaike! You're such an idiot." Robin exclaimed.
"I'm at NOT an idiot, I just don't know things very much." Vaike retorted.
"Ok, hey Lissa! That was one time! ...Okay, twice, but training sessions don't count. Anyway, I got it right here. Teach is loaded and ready for action! Glad to have you along, Stahl, ol' buddy." As he Vaike grips his axe harder just to make sure that it's actually there. Then he proceeds to smack Stahl on the back to welcome him aboard.
The smack didn't budge Stahl. "That makes one of us. I was in such a hurry, I had to miss breakfast! There were muffins, and cakes, and..." Lissa, Robin and I heard Stahl's stomach grumbling.
"Well, I can tell you all about it while we march..." Stahl blushing, he really did miss breakfast, I feel so bad for him.
I can see Robin staring at Stahl, trying to figure out who he is. "Umm... Your name is Stahl, right?" Robin asked.
"Oh crap! I'm sorry, Robin. This is Stahl, he's one of our finest Shepherds." I introduced her to Stahl.
"Hello, Robin. Nice to finally meet you." Stahl reaches out his hands and grabs and shook hers. "Nice to meet you too Stahl! I'm pretty sure you'll treat me better than 'Teach' here." Robin laughs along with Stahl, I don't know why I feel uncomfortable with her feeling happy around Stahl. I wish she and I could laugh together about many things, I let out a sigh and tried not to think about Robin too much!
"Miriel told me we had a new Shepherd. Er, Miriel's one of our mages. She should catch up soon." As Stahl finishes up with his conversation with Robin, he goes back to mount his horse, readying for the march as everyone did as well.
