"Care to share?" Ladonna says to Norris. She looks over towards Lillian. "We are going to need someone to watch our backs anyway as we travel, so I guess that works?"

"I'd rather not," Norris says. "You're still my competition, too. Unless you've decided not to fight next year, for some reason."
At that point, the final two members of the expedition arrive--Panola and Unakite.
Unakite is dressed the way she always is; as a harlequin jester in full makeup. But she is now wearing a bandoleer of daggers with skulls on the ends of the hilts. Panola is dressed more like a simple traveler, with her hair pulled back into a practical ponytail. No armor, but she has a sword on one hip, a dagger on the other, and a bow slung over her shoulder.

"HELLO, UNAKITE!" Lillian shouts from fifty feet away. "AND PANOLA! GREETINGS!"

"Why is she all the way--" Panola begins, then shouts out, "WHY ARE YOU WAY OVER THERE?!"

"Why is she all the way--" Panola begins, then shouts out, "WHY ARE YOU WAY OVER THERE?!" "THE HORSE DOESN'T LIKE ME!"

"I plan to win next year," Ladonna says. "So, very well," she adds before she looks towards all the people shouting. "The shouting isn't going to work. Unakite and Panola,why don't you two join her back there so she isn't lonesome." Ladonna picked those two mostly because Lillian was the one who invited the two of them. "But I think this everyone, so we should probably get moving."

"WHY DON'T THE HORSES LIKE--" Panola stops short, realizing she is shouting, and instead asks Ladonna, "Why don't the horses like her? Elves and horses get along great."
"That's what I said!" Henna remarks.
"Shadows on the wall," Unakite interrupts. "They form images only the mind can see, but the mind can be easily fooled."
"Err...okay," Panola says, uncertain.
Jonas, who has been looking over the land's deed for the umpteenth time, furls it back up and tucks it into a scrollcase. "I'll take the lead."

Ladonna can only shrug in answer to Panola's question. "If I'm remembering correctly, we had the same problem before we came to Hart. I had completely forgotten about it," she says. "But we managed to get those animals to calm down." She glances over to Unakite. "Well, that's unnerving," she admits before looking over to where Lillian is standing. She keeps the thought to herself, but what was Lillian hiding? "Well, seems my father is ready to go, so come on," she says. She leads her pony after her father.

"Greetings, Unakite! And to you, Panola," Lillian says as they join her.

Henna hops onto her horse and says, "I'll scout ahead." She then rides off ahead. Jonas takes the lead, with Ladonna, Liala, Ingot and Norris behind him. Then, far in the back, are Lillian, Unakite and Panola.
"Nice to see you," Panola says to Lillian. "Mind if I ask you a personal question? I notice your accent is Tardish, but I heard a rumor you're actually Ruaran?"
"I notice we aren't bringing any clerics," Liala notes to Ladonna. "I take that to mean we aren't expecting the manor to be actually haunted?"

"Well, I..." Lillian paused. "...I'm not actually sure where I was born. I moved around a lot before I came to Buho. I may have been Ruaran, but..."

"I don't think it is actually haunted, but I could be wrong," Ladonna says. "I probably should have brought a cleric in hindsight."

"Oh, I see," Panola says to Lillian sympathetically. "Did you know your parents at all? Were they Ruaran?"
"Sorry, I guess I'm just a bit nervous," Liala admits to Ladonna. "I keep getting seriously hurt on these expeditions, but there was always a healer on hand to save me. Hopefully there's nothing really dangerous this time."

"No..." Lillian says.

"'No' you didn't know them, or 'no' they aren't Ruaran? Or both?" Panola asks, not following.
