Yes, you are actually a little early

You make surprisingly good time as you arrive at the rendezvous point, as they some of the caravan wagons are still arriving. Carvik is standing on top of one of the carriages, directing the canvas-covered wagons into formation, each one laden down with various goods and valuables. The smell of horses and men who have stayed too long in one place under the hot sun has reached your dainty nose, it will be something you will have to accustom yourself to.

You catch Carvik's eye, along with the eyes of several other of the crew, and he waves you over. You make your way over to him with a slight bounce in your step.

"Ah, there's the lovely lass, I was hoping you would make it here today. I heard you had gotten some other offers for employment, and was worried you had reconsidered." He says with a note of relief,

"Well I certainly couldn't turn down the offer of employment in your caravan after I had already agreed to accompany it. What kind of fool would I be to do that? I intend to accompany your voyage to its end." you say with a lilt in your voice,

"Your accompaniment will be much appreciated on these long travels. You will surely lift the spirits of myself and my men, we'll equally value your protection as well as your company." He says with a winning smile,

"Well consider me at your service, Carvik" you say as you give curtsy, showing of more than a little leg in the process,

He dismounts the carriage that he is standing on and walks up to you.

"Your carriage will be among the other ladies in the caravan over there." He says as he gestures to one of the more comfortable-looking travel carriages. "However, if you wish for different, sleeping arrangements, then that is entirely up to you"

He gives you a wink as he saunters off to resume directing his caravan along with his team leaders. Your memory drifts back to when you signed your relatively loose contract of employment to Carvik's Caravans, as you mull over what that contract requires of you.
