Thank you so much!!! You have no idea how happy that makes me.... Pio you are my cyber version of St Anthony....

Envinyatar and Dury:

I have got the boys to where Willem's 'van left the forest and assume that there is some mound or geographical quirk which is stopping them seeing the caravan though they aren't too far.

Ah, the Patron Saint of Lost Things! I remember my first grade catechism teacher wore a St. Anthony medal. She taught us this little rhyme

St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come down
Something is lost
And can't be found.

I'm not Catholic but my mother had her primary education at a convent school and that "give me a child 'til it is seven" theory works.... She passed on her devotion to St Anthony which has endured despite me being otherwise lapsed Anglican.

So, Willem at least has the horses convinced of the way they need to go . . . I'll leave it to one of you to get the brothers and their wagon to the caravan and their reactions to what was happening, what they thought they saw.

Willem will come back to the caravan once he's found where he's stashed his clothes!

Ah yes the eternal problem for the itinerant shapeshifter... OK time for a bit of a family reunion...

Yay Pio <3

I recall my grandmother calling on St. Anthony when my cat was missing and all of a sudden he was wandering across the backyard...of course he was a smart cat who used to live outdoors (in a less urban area)...but I was impressed

Gone a day and things are getting exciting!

Karl just told Duke to 'stay' outside. So if he's not been distracted by something already then he could 'attack' the boys' cart in excitement. Unless he is scared of moving carts. Hmmmm...

In other words use Duke as he happens to be useful!

Edit: LOL, Mith, 'lurked awkwardly in the doorway' is perfect!
