He still sounded fairly happy, but this time Adelle felt that he was avoiding something. His words didn't sound completely natural. Frowning Adelle looked at him more closely, wondering what she had missed. Had she waved over something obvious and he didn't want to point out that she was being foolish? Perhaps it had to do with the fact that she had once fought someone in a blind rage, and had been willing to kill. Had he noticed that?

Stretching Adelle pushed herself to stand, looking over to the city. Do you think we can make it to the city and get the leather in time to return before dark? She would rather still have enough light to finish the work that she wanted to get done, but finding good leather of the kind that she wanted would be rather difficult.
