Carrick



Carrick followed behind quietly, after the scene between John and Ren had been followed through. He did not particularly like the fact that someone had been killed during this exchange, though he could not understand why the guard had attacked in the first place. After Ren's explanation, though, it made at least a bit more sense. As an afterthought, while the others went into the abandoned building, Carrick quickly turned around and grabbed the reins of Gaoth's harness. He guided the horse to the nearest stable-like structure (which actually just appeared to be a roof with no real sides to the building) and tied him up there. He took an apple from his satchel and gave it to the horse, rubbing the beast's nose a bit before trotting off to join the others in the building.

Once inside, Carrick took it upon himself to make himself somewhat dry. He picked up the bottom of the cloak he was wearing, then used the inside of it (which had remained dry) to wipe the excess water from his face and hair. Once dry, he let the cloak again plummet to the ground. He listened as the others asked their questions, but found one of his un-answered. "Has anyone tried to remove the crystals?"

Carrick looked around the rugged, abandoned building and saw a makeshift chair in the corner. He went to it, taking a seat; although he hoped that the storm would let up soon enough, he wanted his legs to be well-rested in case they needed to do any amount of walking or running.
