When you Nut in Space, it Push you Backwards
" I'll help with resupplying too," Aveline offered as she pushed herself away from the table, groaning softly as she stood after such a long time of just sitting around and talking. She would be back in the carriage sitting around soon enough, so she might as well stretch her legs while she could.
Aveline and Alucard parted ways to prepare themselves for the day. Aveline moved quietly around in her shared room, though right now it only housed a sleeping Sypha who hadn't bothered to do much more than fall asleep on top of the covers in her speakers robes. Aveline got a small basin of warm water from the inn keepers and used that to give herself a small quick bath, but she wished she had used a bit of her time while they were here to take a real bath. She had gotten used to taking quick dips in rivers or waterfalls so she would most likely do that if the group came across one, for now she was content with washing her face and hair.
After quickly toweling off her hair and braiding it up into a hair bun she left the room with her things, just as quietly as she had entered. She would wake up Sypha, and most likely Johann, at the last minute. The two deserved to sleep as much as possible, so she wouldn't make them sleep walk to the carriage until they were ready to leave.
Taking her minimal luggage back outside and to the carriage Aveline found Trevor and Danica already working to prepare the carriage for the day, though Trevor was more of less put helping pack since he was a bit wary of the nightmares.
" Good morning, you guys." Aveline waved at everyone as she walked over to Marius and Sulla.
" Good morning to you two as well." she let them smell her hand first, like she did every animal she came across, but did wonder for a moment if they thought she was offering them her hand to eat. Before she would test that theory she petted their snouts and giggled softly at the way they shook out their manes and huffed through their noses.
" You two are so beautiful, maybe I can bully Johann into showing me how to handle you two." she said, but Trevor snorted as he walked over to take her bags from her. He gave the nightmares a side look, just to make sure neither of them looked like they were going to take a bite at them. They hadn't proven themselves to be distrustful but the hunter in him had a hard time just ignoring their nature. He needed more time to warm up to them, like he needed more time to warm up to Alucard.
" They're cute in that glowing nightmare causing flesh eater way." he purposely kept his hands to himself after he said that. If these horses were more intelligent than they looked then he wasn't going to risk a finger. he headed towards the back of the carriage before he could say something to really piss them off.
" You won't need to bully Johann to show you, but today Its my turn to drive. I don't mind showing you." Danica assured Aveline, " Alucard caught on quickly, i'm sure you will as well."
" Ok but it's really important I find this out right now, can I kiss their noses or will they try to take a taste?" Aveline asked, and from the back of the carriage trevor laughed. " Well that depends on how well you get along with them, and if you're bleeding that's probably not the best idea." Danica asked, then pulled some paper from one of her pockets.
" I wrote down some supplies that we need, you and Alucard can go and get them if you're not too tired."
" I can stay awake until we leave, and even then I was thinking about napping on top of the carriage in the sun." Aveline assured Danica, her eyes scanning the list curiously.
" You two have fun with that," Trevor said as he closed the back of the carriage, it was full and everything else left should be small enough to fit under the main body. " I've got a few things in mind that aren't on the list that we need."
" Did I forget something?" Danica asked with a frown, she wasn't the type to miss things and she had checked over everything just a second ago.
" No, i'm just going to stock up on some hunting supplies. From here on out we'll be coming across towns and people less and less, it's best to be prepared for what ever we run into in the forests." yesterday had proven to him that they weren't as prepared as they should be. They fought creatures that he hadn't thought about in years, but now it was like the family Bestiary was right there in the front of his head. He wanted to prepare by buying some basic supplies while they were here, this town was one of the larger ones and it seemed to be doing well so hopefully it would be well stocked.
Trevor left the others behind with a lazy wave behind him, then disappeared into the town as the sounds of market stalls opening up reached their ears.
