Crowley opened his mouth to say something witty to Zeiss, but then it struck him that Zeiss probably was correct. In Crowley's case anyway. Crowley was also a bit irritated that Wylie told Tobias that there was a bounty on their heads. Tobias might betray them. But then again, there was Zeiss who could keep Tobias in check. That would suffice.
He accepted his meal and wolfed it down. After eating, he got out a bottle of booze out of his backpack, brought it to his lips, looked at Zeiss, groaned and put it away. Maybe he should take it easy. Damn health freak.

Tobias scowled again. No pay and a risk of death? Not the ideal employment. Then he considered what else he could gain from this. If they were a famous band of mercenaries, then maybe he could travel with them and get a share of the pay. Then again, if they had a bounty on their heads, he could be associated with them and killed before he had a chance to get any money at all. It seemed like the smart thing to do would be to leave now and hope to find something better. He really hated the insatiable curiosity that forced him into insane agreements at least every week; "Fine, I'll do it." He sighed to himself. Why do I have to be so d*mn curious he thought, hoping that the risks had been exaggerated.

"Great, welcome to the group then, ...for now," Wylie said. "Now have some broth," and held out a cup.
He then leaned over with his staff and began healing Tobias' neck. That blow from Usha could easily have caused some nerve damage.
"We'll probably have to think of some nickname for him," Wylie said to Crowley.

"He doesn't seem to have any amazing traits." Crowley walked around Tobias, looked at him from every thinkable angle and concluded that:
"There's nothing special about this guy." He grinned and slapped the guy on the back.
"Just kiddin', you'll prove your worth one day!"

Tobias accepted the broth and shook his head, wondering when the exact point was where he had become insane. He drank the broth and handed the cup back. "Why do I need a nickname?" he asked, not really caring but too bored to just stay silent.

"Everyone who travels with us has to have a nickname," Wylie said simply. "Crowley the Magnificent, Wylie the Wrestler, Usha the Hulk, Mage Dude," he listed. "You'll probably get 'Tobias the Terrible' or something, but we'll give you a better name than that."
"Well it's getting dark, so i'm gonna hit my bedroll." Wylie then shuffled back over to his horse, retrieved said roll, and made his way into it. Herald, we're coming for you, he thought.

Crowley yawned as well. He looked at Tobias and grinned. "Tobias the Terrible. Heh." He then made sure noone was watching and took a few sips from his bottle.
"F$ck that Mage Dude."
And then he fell asleep.

Tobias sighed and leaned against a tree nearby. He spent a few minutes thinking about random things before falling into a light sleep.

Wylie awoke to the fall of some light rain on his face. It was a drizzly, grey morning but even that couldn't dim Wylie's good mood.
He then walked over to the others and gave them a nudge with his foot to wake them, crossing his arms tightly over his body and hunching to keep warm. "Come on guys, lets move," he said.
Looking up at the sky, Wylie lost much of his optimism. "This is only going to get worse for the next few hours," he said aloud. "Come on guys," kicking them again, "Lets get to the next village before the storm hits."

'Touch me once again I swear I'll kick Tobias' ass.' Zeiss said calmly, not coming making any signs that he was going to stand up.

As usual, Crowley picked himself up from the ground, moaned and moved very slowly with half-closed eyes to his horse. Luckily enough he had learned himself how to sleep on a horse. It was easy, but it required vast amounts of alcohol.
"Okay. Let's go, gang." He murmered and he started moving towards Etruria, not waiting for the other. Fortunately for the rest, he moved at a slow pace.

Tobias, who had woken up after the first nudge, looked at Zeiss and asked him "Why would you want to kick my ass? You already proved that you're better than me and I didn't do anything to you."

"Zeiss is just perpetually irritable," Wylie explained. "I think if he tried to kick my ass, he knows Crow would have my back, so you're next down the line."
Wylie then shuffled over to his horse and retrieved a nice, warm hooded cloak from his pack, and after donning it, mounted his horse and trotted back to Tobias.
"Hey Tobias, jump up here for now. We'll have to get you a horse in the next village." He then called over to Crowley, "Any idea how far away that is?"

"Mmwuh?" Crowley looked up and turned around. He slowly pointed at a sign, that was pretty close to Wylie. It read: "Yzmir, Half a day on foot." Crowley then started dozing off again. He was pretty tired. But soon he'll be in a village. That'd be nice. He was smiling in his sleep.

'Well, you can't ask for a more reliable assessment then that!' Zeiss said with a smirk. He proceeded to get on his own horse and rode beside Crowley.
