still i see family [private]

The journey from Sedo up into Sterling and then to Vasall isn’t exactly one that he’s looking forward to, if he’s honest with himself. It’s a long distance to walk, and his legs have been acting up more and more recently with all of the physical activity he’s been subjecting himself to -- he thinks, maybe, the arthritis is getting worse, but he simply shrugs away the worries and tucks both his bandages and the jar of medication into his saddlebags before going to meet up with the others.

At least he’ll have his friends with him for the journey. His serious expression fades into a warm smile when he catches sight of the rag-tag group standing at the gates of his family’s farm, waiting for he and Conner to join them so they could start out together. “Everybody ready?” He calls out as they join the group, glancing from face to familiar face.
