"Your carriage has been prepared outside, Lord Riftan."He stood up and adjusted his coat before turning his gaze to me. I grabbed our bags and slung the other strap over my shoulder."Are you all set?" he asked, his eyes scanning me briefly.I nodded, giving him a thumbs-up. "Yeah, I'm all good to go.""Give me that bag.""What?" I glanced down at it. "Oh, this? It's fine. These are my things. I'll carry it.""Give it to me," he insisted, holding out his hand. "I'll carry it for you."I sighed in defeat and handed him the bag. "Don't peek inside, okay?""Of course I wouldn't."We left the inn and headed downstairs. Near the entrance, our carriage stood ready, the same navigator from before waving in acknowledgment.
