'Ah, so Hildulf has told you of my worries?

'My apprentice left in a rush this morning, and told me he was travelling to Pendlac's Farm for reasons that were not made known to me. He took the last of my horses, and rode out upon the fields.

'Normally, I would not expect him back for some time, but I need him back at my side for our tasks today. If you would, track him down on the fields, as I'm sure he's still riding along at a slow pace. Should he be unable to give you a reason for this senseless journey, send him back here at once by any means.'
