The heat spell wears off a few minutes before Sophie manages to make it back to the oak grove; she starts, and then gives up edging around the perimeter, cutting her way rapidly back through the center of the camp. A bored page throws a pot at her, and she jumps aside before she can think about it, hair standing on end

As he trots by, he overhears the conversation between the two soldiers.

[Don't you know my fiancee is in that hut? Let's don't be quite so crass, shall we?] He'd like his bride to be a blushing bride, but not because of Strangian soldiers.

Of course, it comes out as a series of barked reprimands; the soldiers stop their bragging long enough to try to tempt the large shaggy dog closer. In the end, one settles for throwing a stick that sails over the top of the hut. Howl takes advantage of that to disappear around the corner and make his way inside and as his eyes adjust to the darker interior, he smells Sophie before he's able to see her.

[There you are, fy cath ddu. I can tell you, I'm none too fond of the Strangian army.] He pauses, licking a burr out of his paw pad. [Any luck?]

[talkstohats]

[Oh, there you are!]

Sophie tries not to sound too relieved; she's been pacing back and forth, thinking of all the possible things that can have happened to Howl, from Attacked By Wild Strangian Boars to Zapped With Enemy Lightning Spells.

[Not too much, I'm afraid. Mostly a lot of complaining.]

One group of soldiers had been engaged in an extended critique of the camp cuisine, another complaining about a field of flowers that had apparently caused a good portion of the camp to break out in mild hives, and a third bickering about the outcome of a dice tournament. It had certainly been something of an education, but nothing that Sophie would call beneficial to the war effort.

[You?]

Shaking out his fur, he circles slowly three times before resting on his haunches, slowly lowering hs front paws to the ground. [I heard something about a fortnight before the big push south. They're waiting on supplies coming by caravan from the far north.]

It's what he wanted to know; at least now he'll have something to report back on to the king. If they have two weeks' notice on any action, they can be just that much more prepared.

[And they are quite expert at complaining. Even the officers seemed edgy. I'm not so sure this is a particularly popular campaign.] He knows it isn't popular in Ingary, but then again, they're the ones about to be invaded.

It's difficult to prepare for war. The concept itself is almost too ludicrous to even consider.

[Well, I should imagine it wouldn't be!] Sophie says, indignation clear in her tone and in her set-back ears. [Attacking a neighbor country that hasn't done a thing to them - anyone with any sense could well wish to wash their hands of the whole business, if they had a choice.]

Anger vented temporarily, she settles herself down onto her haunches and stares at Howl, slit-pupilled eyes intent and worried.

[A fortnight? That's not much time.]
