The old man smiled at the two bears as he slowly reached up to get the lip of the wagon; before he started to climb the nice little latter made for him on the side, a few pops could be heard, mostly from his back, as he did so, and he relaxed in the seat once he got up. The old man patted the seat a few times before standing on the step and climbing into the back behind the driver's position into the wagon proper. He watched the bears further back as he just more or less snuggled into the wood, cloth, and other supplies inside the wagon. 

It was something good, a nice settled spot for the old man to rest in as it got darker. It was dusk, and there was limited light coming from the sunset and that which reflected from the moon and stars. However, he figured that just giving the direction North-West when they got out of the city would be the best course of action; everyone seemed educated in some form or at least should be able to read a map. Or at least he hoped, but that could be seen; he had spent some time awake trying to make schemes into plans. 

"Erwin, if you are behind me, please just lead the way. You should know it; I will be trying to sleep once we get outside the city." with that, he snuggled in tightly and found himself a corner of a tent he was next to, pulling it over his lap as he just went deeper into it like the little old man he was.

The young man was in fact behind his grandfather by several paces, to keep in line with his betrothed, he held her arm and separated from her as he moved to Bread, and he took from his pack a chainmail shirt just to slip on for now, and his sword to put around his waist, setting his musket in it's saddle mounting. He checked it's powder pouches, and the holder for his shot and climbed up onto the horse.

"Grandfather, it's out of the city, and then the north road until the river ends. To my knowledge, the ferry crossing line got broken a week or two ago and no one has been able to get a new one across yet," he replied to his grandfather. "Once outside of town, it's only one road, and at these hours we will be the only ones moving on it."

The man moved bread towards the door, when his grandfather spoke.

"And be in the front with the elf lad if he wishes to ride, he seems like he has good ears and eyes, you two might do well together. Just keep away from the toll roads like I taught you." Thernous said.
