"Alright, hurry we don't have much time!", Raeid exclaimed.
While quickly striding her way toward the wagon with some of the last few boxes of medicine in tow, she called out to the four other men helping her load it. In something of a 'mad-dash' everyone that was tasked with the same job as she was scrambling to fill the wagon as much as possible.
Raeid's father looked on while keeping a mental inventory of everything that was being loaded. He had to make sure the quantities were correct, and whatever extra was accounted for. All while doing this he also occasionally glanced about to see where those people his daughter was supposed to have hired were. He at least recalled that she'd spoke of hiring that Thron-boy again for help.
"Is that everything?", Raeid's voice spoke over the sound of the wagon's back being closed.
When confirmation came she smiled to herself. It was going to be a rush, but it looked like they'd at least be able to start with good time.
"Now we just gotta hope our hired escorts come in time. They're not late, but I'd have rather they'd be early."
LAIKA OF GS!

My friends say I should act my age, what's my age again?
Flo skipped over to the location, her hammer lightly tapping against her back, matching her pace. She had been visiting her family, when she noticed that someone had needed help with a delivery. No good mail man would sit back and watch as someone struggled with such a predicament! So of course, Flo had to help! So she put her name up and quickly headed for the Ordona province, walking to the meeting place she looked up at the large cart with a big smile, knowing this is what she was looking for.
Looking back at the woman who seemed to be in charge she was surprised to see how pretty she was. "Are you the one in charge?" She asked, hoping that she didn't look dumb. She smiled, glad that she was finally here, and helping out! Sometimes, Flo got bored just delivering mail and this time it seemed like a much more interesting delivery.
So here it was, another escort job. It was easy to say that this was one of Zeek's more common ways to make a living. Ride in the back of a wagon and when things go down come out beat it back into the hole it crawled out of rinse wash repeat. That was the basic gist of it if any thing happened anyway. Ezekial wasn't expecting much out of this trip. It was a medicine run while they were valuable in their own right to anyone with a head on their shoulders they were not hit that often unless it was in season so to speak. At least that was until he happened to see who the leader of the wagon was. A blond Hylian woman who was coordinating the frantic movement of supplies in to the wagon easily the leader of the whole operation. There was another Hylian accompanying the woman and presumably another person she hired.
Walking up to the wagon Zeek just rolled his eyes when he seen who it was and made the accurate connection between the two. Raeid Axort was the wagon owner and one Zeek knew among other things. Well... This is already going to be outstanding. I can just feel it. He thought to him self. Ezekial had the job posting in one of his pouches but he wouldn't need it for this one. Just his presence alone could of told the Hylian exactly what he was here for.
"Hey Raeid! Long time no see." Zeek said announcing his presence. The actual time frame was far from long but the greeting seemed appropriate. Covering the distance to a more appropriate range for a conversation. "Here for that job offer ya posted." It was sure to say Raeid was a friend of his. Maybe "Friend" wasn't exactly the best term to use seeing how the two had an interesting track record of running in to trouble someway, shape, or how but Zeek was certainly more amicable towards her compared to most.
"Mm?", Raeid slowly turned in the direction of where she heard her name called.
That was when she noticed Zeek. It was automatic---after all they ran into each other so often it was really easy to just simply hire him whenever she needed anything. That was probably how they wound up on the familiar basis they were. Course this could only be expected considering the kinds of trouble they always seemed to run into when they were together. The thought made her smile awkwardly for a moment---as if wondering if perhaps her presence of mind to see if Zeek was free was a clairvoyant realization that this trip wasn't going to be a safe one. Soon after noticing him, she took note of the blond haired woman, obviously a Hylian, speaking to her. For what she could see at a glance she was an older woman, yet still possessed surprisingly youthful, child-like features. For a moment she'd almost mistaken her for someone younger than her.
"Hey, Zeek! Good timing, both of you! I was just saying I was hoping you'd both appear early. Now we'll get where we're going in great time!", she'd exclaim while resting her hands on her hips.
Her attention returned fully to the woman that spoke with her and she replied with a bright smile,"Yup! I'm the brains of this outfit for the moment. You're the other escort I hired, correct? A 'Miss Florite?'"
Raeid didn't quite appear to be waiting for the woman to answer at first. In all actuality though she was sure to return eye-contact to the woman while handling whatever she was asked/called to do while the preparations where being handled. Now that the wagon was ready she mostly needed to only confirm the route they were taking on the map, and grab her things--which were already sitting on one of the outside benches of the clinic. Once she was certain of herself and the route she'd pass a map to Zeek and the woman once she was sure that they were indeed 'Miss Florite'.
"Ready for another wild adventure?", she'd question Zeek rhetorically. It probably wouldn't have been a joke if they didn't pretty much expect things to get wild soon. Who knows? Maybe it was still amusing enough.
Eitherway once everything was settled Raeid would hop on the front seating of the wagon. She'd look to the other two still to see what they'd do. Usually Zeek rode the wagon as well---but they DID have horses they could borrow, which would probably be better for keeping a decent eye around the wagon. That was technically why she had Ralpha be one of the two pulling horses rather than just using the usual one. In the event, if she had to, she'd like to be able to mount Rapha and defend the wagon while one of the 'Clinic Hands' guided the wagon.
"Just a note, you two. If you want you can certainly rent a horse from the stables nearby. I'll foot the bill."
My friends say I should act my age, what's my age again?
Flo looked at the other man had shown up. Well good! Everyone was here now! She smiled real big and placed her hands on her hips victoriously, chiming a little. "That's me!~" She was happy knowing that the woman had remembered her name. Not that it was a HUGE deal, actually it made sense that she would remember the name of her helpers. Though, she seemed to already know the other one. Flo wasn't sure if she'd be third-wheeled, not that Flo wasn't social enough to not let that happen, but still she commented to the boy "Looks like we'll be working together!"
Flo looked at the wagon, excited. She hoped that there'd be some fighting. Sure, Flo wasn't as combat inversed as most of her siblings, but she still enjoyed a good fight every now and again, so this one was a nice change of pace. She looked at the woman she suggested getting a horse. Flo shook her head as she walked over to the place. "Nah, I got it miss!" She commented, running over and quickly renting a horse, and giving the money to the man.
She didn't take long, as a mail carrier she was always speedy on her feet, and she came back on a white horse, reminding herself that she had to bring the horse back. Hopefully she remembered this time. She smiled at the woman once again. "I'm ready when you guys are!"

"Looks like we'll be working together!" The other Hylian responded in a very upbeat manner. It seemed that she had an abundant of joyful energy, which wasn't a bad thing. That certain degree of optimism would help her cope with what ever shenanigans they would encounter, because at this point that is what is was. The world playing fun and games when it came down to Zeek and Red.
"I Just hope you are prepared for anything." Zeek wasn't trying to be condescending. In fact he was being honest because for some reason if it could happen it did, no matter how outrageous it was.
"Ready for another wild adventure?" Zeek provided a half smile and replied "Who knows maybe things will be normal for once." At the end of his sentence he added a merger shrug along with a faint chuckle. If things went normal the world was probably ending very soon.
"Just a note, you two. If you want you can certainly rent a horse from the stables nearby. I'll foot the bill." It certainly was a generous offer on her part, but Zeek already had something in mind. As the other girl scurried off to rent a horse Zeek made his way over to Raeid
"I'll take the back of the wagon like usual Red. Don't need runt bublins sneaking in to the back and stealing crap again...Or the whole wagon for that matter." She knew exactly what he was talking about. Making his way to the back of the wagon he put his hand on the back and in one fluid movement jumped up, over, and in to the back of the wagon.
A bright smile and nod followed the two's confirmation. They were all ready to go and time was of the essence. Looking toward the wagon driver she gave a thumbs up. With that the wagon started rolling toward the town's entrance gate. For that small moment the cargo carrying vehicle ambled toward the entrence so that it could have a good clean turn toward the exit of the village. It wouldn't be until the straight path toward the forest was clear ahead of them...and the wagon driver was sure to give a warning.
"We're about to speed up, be sure to pick up the pace, Girlie!", the Wagon-Driver spoke up in Flo's direction before crying out and snapping the reigns.
Rapha and the wagon's horse quickly launched ahead, which caused the wagon to hop slightly on the rolling earth. At increasing speed they'd charge forward with the rattle of the wagon's wheels clacking angrily.
"Hopefully we'll get there with no problems...", Raeid murmured to herself while looking into the back of the wagon to check on Zeek and the cargo. After all she'd known for a while for whatever odd reason Zeek felt at home enough in wagons to fall asleep back there on occasion. She would have been mildly amused if he'd actually somehow managed to doze off that fast---after all she'd seen it happen a couple of times.
A smirk followed her thoughts before her eyes returned to the front. They were now entering the tunnel that'd lead them toward the forest, which would eventually lead to the fields of Hyrule.
My friends say I should act my age, what's my age again?
Flo trotted next to the wagon happily, she was excited for things to start up. She was pretty sure this would be a pretty easy quest for her. She trotted along the wagon and looked inside, wondering more about the others, but her time for thought was quickly interrupted as the wagon driver shouted at her to keep up. Oh? WAS THAT A CHALLENGE? SHE WAS THE MAIL MAN SHE COULD KEEP UP! and with that, Flo sped up and rode the horse right past the wagon and way up past them.
"This fast enough!?" She shouted, laughing at the wagon driver who unknowingly just turned this into a race for her. And Flo was glad for the entertainment. She thought this would be a fun mission and it turns out it probably will! She looked at the other two wondering why they were so boring, didn't they want to race too? She bet they were disappointed now! Missing out on the racing fun!
