"Will, say something," the gruff voice of Halt slicing through the eerie silence, "This isn't like you, for once I am telling you to talk and not shut up!" They had been on the trail for two days now, and Will hadn't muttered so much as a word the entire journey. Tug also seemed affected by his master's emotions, for the pony also seemed troubled.
"What do you want me to do Halt? Be all happy? This is my wife we are talking about!" His concern becoming more prominent.
"Will you don't know what is going on! She could be fine! Don't stress yourself out over facts you don't know!" Halt retorted. He beginning to become annoyed at the way Will was acting. After glaring at Halt, Will's features softened.
"I guess you're right…" Will trailed off, looking at Halt "I'm sorry…" feeling ashamed of himself.
"We should make camp soon if intend to get an early start in the morning." Halt stated looking back at the distance they had covered. Reluctantly, Will agreed.
"I'll take first watch." Will muttered then walked away to collect firewood, leaving Halt to sit alone at the camp.
Tug whinnied a greeting as Halt returned from scouting ahead.
"Everything seems normal…" Halt announced, eying his companion, his appearance had improved greatly from the other day, a bit of life had re-entered his eyes. After their little dispute the other night, Will had been trying to make it up to his mentor all throughout the afternoon.
"That's good…" Will stated plainly.
"It would be best if we abandon our cloaks before we reach Clonmel, after last year's performance we will be easily recognized… The fewer problems we meet the better." Halt added, trying to strike up conversation with his former apprentice. Yes Halt enjoyed silence but not when Will seemed so depressed.
"Yes Last year's show was definitely interesting, and I agree we abandon the cloaks… Plus it would be best if your skin saw some daylight…" Halt glared at him, but mentally had a sigh of relief, Will was beginning to return to his regular self.
Sorry that was short... Mainly a filler for future chapters... Just had to get them to Clonmel before the real story begins.
