Volarano and Eirik, who had been intently discussing possible reasons as to why the Count had summoned them now, did not notice Morrigan until Volarano's keen eyes finally spotted movement out of the corner of his eye. He whipped his head around to face the pursuer, and Eirik's gaze followed his as both of them turned to look at Morrigan, who was still chasing after the cart but was slowly losing speed.

The two of them briefly exchanged glances before Volarano turned to the driver and ordered him to halt the carriage. The cart slowed to a stop as Morrigan did the same, slowing from a spring to a walk as she approached the carriage, grateful beyond words that they had stopped the cart for her but too breathless to express her gratitude. She made her way over to the cart and put a hand on the bed to climb on, but was stopped when Volarano, who had risen to his feet, gently but firmly planted his boot on her hand.

"Hold there, traveler. What has buisiness do you have with us?" he questioned, looking down at her with supicious eyes. It would not surprise him if this traveler was an assassin sent by some enemy of the Count, but he was not willing to put an arrow in her skull without knowing what she was up to.

"I don't have any with you, but I would very much like to catch a ride on your carriage, if that's okay. I was just heading towards Chorrol," Morrigan answered.

"Chorrol? Ah, you must be a mercenary. You've heard about the job that the Count's been offering, then?" Eirik asked. Morrigan, after taking a moment to understand what she had been asked, nodded an affirmative, although in truth she had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. "And you thought no one else would come looking for the coin. I told you that people would come looking for the profit, especially if the Count is offering the kind of money he did the last time," Eirik said with a grin to Volarano.

Morrigan perked up at the mention of great profit, suddenly becoming far more interested in the job that her kinsman had mentioned. She was in need of coin right now, and if running a few errands for a Count could earn her enough coin to fill her pockets again, she was more than up to taking the job. Her gaze then shifted to Volarano, who stared her down for a long moment before finally turning to Eirik, shooting him a look that let him know that it was on his head if this new arrival attacked them, before removing his boot and returning to his seat in the corner. Morrigan eagerly clambered onto the carriage and took a seat opposite Eirik, glad to finally be off the road and perhaps have an opportunity to make some coin as well.
