As the short break started, Dominic flagged down a vendor selling meat pies, and wondered where Alexis had gotten to.
He had expected her to be back by now, as her excuse had seemed like it was intended simply to get her away from the morning duties and the opening ceremony.
However, they had been out for half a day.
There hadn't been any word of trouble, and there likely would have been if someone attacked them while they had Mountain Trolls in their presence.
Dave would certainly call his brothers if there was a fight.
However, while Dominic was concerned, it was the first chance that Alexis had found to be away from the Manor for more than an hour or two in over a month. Letting her vent her frustrations on whatever monsters they had managed to find in the wilderness would certainly put everyone in the group in a better mood.
The meat pies were surprisingly good, some sort of monster meat with ale and mushrooms turned into a thick stew inside the pastry.
