A few days had passed, and now...
It was the night before the field trip.
Rustle- rustle- rustle-
Raven was in his room, carefully checking his bags one last time to see if he had forgotten something. His hands moved with practiced familiarity, but his eyes still scanned every fold of cloth and every pocket of each pouch.
He wasn't the type to overlook details, yet there was a strange sense of unease that made him repeat the process again and again.
'Clothes, potions, my artifacts...'
He mentally listed them off, fingers brushing against each item as if physical confirmation would ease his mind.
He had already done this inspection a few days back, but Raven thought it wouldn't hurt to double-check. It was better to be cautious now than regret it later.
A single missing item could mean unnecessary trouble during the trip, and trouble was something he could never afford.
