Return to your estate.

It's time to return to your estate, you decide. It'll take a couple of days to get there, but you want to solve this bandit issue once and for all. {if Gladius Held = True}You smile as you rest one hand on the hilt of your gladius. The blade ought to sever you well, and having it makes you feel far more confident in your approach.{endif}

You get a ride with a traveling merchant going that way, and after a couple of days in less-than-complete comfort, you arrive back at the estate. Adolphus and Antonia greet you warmly and courteously; {if Albina <1}Albina, however, seems unmoved by your arrival.{elseif Albina <10}Albina smiles warmly at you.{elseif Albina >9}Albina gives you an enthusiastic hug.{endif} {if Polyxena > 0}Polyxena gives you a small smile and a wink as she serves the family at dinner, too.{endif} That night, though, you're too exhausted to do anything but fall into bed, lulled to sleep by the silence of the countryside. You sleep soundly, and wake up feeling refreshed.
