If Selvit previously struggled to understand why the "Baron" always brought the "Lady" along, then upon seeing Anna with her hair tied back, dressed in a short jacket, breeches, and boots, he at least realized that the Baron's unusual behavior was not simply an act of posturing.

Although Carlo Aide generously lent all his reliable associates to Winters, it was still far from sufficient for such a hastily assembled, massive caravan.
There were always invoices to settle, documents waiting to be filed, and carts yet to be inspected... In this "caravan," where the majority of key personnel only knew how to ride horses, wield swords, and shoot guns, critical roles such as clerical work, auditing, and logistics were almost entirely handled by Anna alone.
When Xial went to fetch Anna, Lady Navarre was still confirming the next camp's supply purchase list with the advance agents of the trading company.
