After taking his punishment from the archmage Fredrick returns to his cabin and retrieves all of his belongings. Mounting on Blaze he is about to head out when he runs into Garridan. Pausing for a sec he waits to see what he has to say.
Garridan spots Frederick mounting up to ride out. Sad that his friend was punished so harshly when his intentions were pure an noble, he flags him down hoping to speak with him privately before he heads out.
