[SOUJIROU WHO CAN'T READ ANYTHING and thus has no idea what either paper says just sort of looks between both Sieghart and Aikawa like bzuh??
Fortunately Lucretia steps in with the braincell once more.]
Did you take the Itabashi papers? [Even if no one is looking at her they'll be able to hear the DISAPPROVING FROWN in her voice. WHY can no one do anything right here.] Those were supposed to be taken out. Our men are still over there, but the person who was meant to play that role... [Hm. She trails off, and Nikaido looks troubled for a moment. With a shake of her head, Lucretia continues.] ...The checkpoint itself won't be as much trouble as the random checks that might come after. Once we get through, we can hide him as a stow-away if need be. It's you two who won't be able to get out of it if they ask to see your papers.
[And there's the dock as they speak! Just in time, since the sky is light enough by now that it looks like early sunrise is probably only a half-hour away at most.
There are already a few people waiting there, all dressed in uniforms similar to Sieghart's. But of course, these are friendly faces who will begin to unload the barrels onto a covered cart-wagon nearby. Lucretia disembarks to speak with one of them while Nikaido climbs into the back to help arrange their wares. At the front, there's a little seating area where someone can man the horses, though it looks like there's really only enough room up here for one driver unless they want to get real comfy.
One of the soldiers approaches Aikawa.]
Sir! I've heard a tip that they're distracted with a hunt down by Itabashi's execution grounds, so you shouldn't have any trouble in the first leg of this trip.
[Another approaches Sieghart.]
Which one of you will be handling the horses? [SIEGHART AND HIS ANIMAL BATTLES.]
