"Yes, Mission first." he straightened and nodded. "We do have a long road ahead, and I believe we should make the most out of the available travel time in daylight that we are given." it would be somewhat strange, to be headed somewhere and not have to absolutely expect anything -bad- outright.
Certainly, he would be on his guard, but the fact this mission was one in lighter a spirit or as it had been stated, they may be able to somewhat enjoy themselves should this turn out to be what was promised.

"I still wonder about this.." he wore a light frown. "The letter states one can be instantly transported whenver they wish..." he pulled out the paper as they walked. "However it also speaks of the option of walking two days. There is no specific day mentionned, but from what it implies, it mentions 'a day' of festivities. Why only one day? It makes it sound as if they will wait for people to be gathered..." really it was confusing to him.
