[Blanche looks up when Alaric starts speaking, nodding when he points in the direction Landow is in. At any rate, it is certainly a start; a village is bound to have people, and people are bound to either have information or leave it behind.

Either way, objectively speaking, it's their best option.]

No, I should be fine to walk so long as we are careful. The injury isn't deep enough to impair that much.

[Blanche can tell just by looking at it, though for safety's sake, she tears a portion out of the nightgown to bandage it up--she'll definitely have to get proper bandages and more travel suited clothes in town, but for now, this will do. Blanche stands upright, poised as ever.]

Let us be off, then. We haven't a moment to waste.

[Of course, while they are off, Blanche is still keeping good pace with Alaric. Still, she does seem to be in thought while they walk...]

...Still, I cannot fathom who would be idiotic enough to launch such a brazen attack upon us. I truly did think that our dealings with the nobility of the area were going smoothly, with everything considered.

[Because this absolutely has to be a noble house, right???]

I was truly hoping that nobody else would have to be made an example of. But if we do find out that one of the houses are behind this, they're going to be in for a highly rude awakening.
