Yeah, of course he's surprised. Who wouldn't be, setting off on a long journey without using a carriage.
"No, it's not that I'm afraid of them. It's just… before I left, my mother told me not to use any carriages. She said if I did, it wouldn't be a real adventure."
"…Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it, but honestly, with your pace, Rafayel, it's going to take more than a week."
That's what I figured.
"Yeah… I know. But it can't be helped. Since it's come to this, I've decided to avoid using carriages as much as possible."
