It had been snowing hard all morning before the men left the infirmary, but Baron was eager to get going.
"You feeling good enough to be doing this?"
"Definitely. I can't wait to get home."
"Well, you haven't been back in the saddle since the attack, so we'll take it easy, and I'll just walk the horses for a bit, so we can see if you are really ready for the long ride home."
Baron was feeling frustrated...
...but realized Rex was probably right, and he should take it slow for a while.

After Rex determined that Baron was good to go, he mounted his horse and they travelled on for a few hours. It started to snow heavily. Yet they continued on.
"Maybe we should stop at the next village if this storm gets any worse."
Baron reluctantly agreed. "That's probably a good idea."
But before they reached the next village, the snow stopped, so they decided to go on. There was still enough daylight left that they'd be able to make it across the high mountain pass that lay ahead, and then they'd stop for the night on the other side. So Rex got down to lead the horses across the treacherous pass..
