Arameus strapped the two deer carcasses on the back of his horse, then looked to the sky, by the look of it and increasing chill of the air there would be more snow falling before dawn of the next day. Normally he would of only needed to take one deer, but this winter season had already been unexpectedly harsh, especially on the game herds which was evident by the two bucks he'd tracked and killed, both were visibly under nourished and several pounds lighter then they normally would of been in the middle of the winter season. 

He grabbed the horses reins and started back north to Deliar, given the already deep snow, the trip back took longer then usual and by the time he reached the City, it was well pasted dark. He past a few guards, some on patrol, but most, it seemed by they're manner and attitude, had spent the night drinking, those on patrol that stopped to inquiry whom he was and why he was out on the street, bid a quick greeting and went back to patrolling once they'd gotten close enough to see the emblem of the Ranger Corps pinned to his cloak, those that had been drinking, were smart enough to know they didn't have enough liquid courage to tangle with a Ranger, even if he were on his own.

He passed the Boot Buckle Inn, decided the place too crowded for a quick mug of ale and continued on to the orphanage, where he rapped his knuckles on the kitchen entrance, made his apologises for his lateness to the Cook who opened the door sputtering curses for having been roused at such an hour, but happily took the offering of the two bucks, in return offering the use of the barn, hay and some oats for the Rangers horse. Arameus however insisted on paying for the oats and hay, knowing the lack of funds an Orphanage had, then after an exchange of pleasantries, he made his way to the barn and found a stall for the horse, gave her hay and water and a quick brush down, then finally a small portion of oats before going over to a pile of hay and laying out his bedding and furs and settling in for the rest of the night.
