Clan Rangers War: Marr's Pass

[Zaxton Books]

"Ahh, this is better than I could have hoped. When was the last time I had a bed?"

The ranger splayed himself out on the bed. It was cheap, stuffed, no doubt, with straw, but at a measly 50 gil each a night, the two-bed room at The Drunken Bear in Marr's Pass was a good a deal as any in Spira... surprising, given that it was the only public house or inn for a good three day's hike in either direction, and that was at Chiko's incredible speed. Still, he didn't pass it a thought, relaxing in all of his gear save for the heavy pack and the shotgun, which he had leaned against the foot of the bed.

"Every time with you, it's like you're a greenhorn back from his first trek." His partner, by contrast, was still in business-mode. She'd dutifully removed her pack and rifle, leaning them, as he had, against her bed, and removing a heavy twine from them that she could string across the room between the two beds and the small hearth, before stripping out of all but her most fundamental of clothing and hanging it to dry, including her socks, and she upended her boots near the fire to help them dry as well. "Look, you're all wet from the snow."

"Ah, but if we get run off, I'm ready for the winter again, where as you are about five gil worth of fabric away from being something we wouldn't be able to show on a newspaper any time soon."

She rolled her eyes. "That's why we're declaring the war tomorrow morning. Go draw some water and get it on for the path, yeah?"
"Ooh... warm bath. Haven't had one of those in a while."

They woke bright and early, well before dawn, and dressed silently in the dark, eating their trail rations as grimly as if they were still at camp further down the southeast leg of the pass. Midway through the meal, Chiko muttered something and a Judge appeared.

"... Clan War Approved."
