“The inn is only five minutes away, and yet you’re out here in the rain?”  Mitch laughed softly as he looked at the curly haired woman and he took a moment to sober up before he continued, “If you’re supposed to help people, you can help my loneliness healer Kalista, and share a meal with me.  I will be paying and it would be wonderful to have a wholesome cooked meal.  There are deer here, but I’ll hunt them another day.”<br/><br/>“As to no one attacking you as you’re a healer, alas, that is rather naïve my dear.  Most people wouldn’t bother to find out what you do as a profession, Kalista, most would be thinking of how precisely a pretty girl like you would look without clothes.”  Standing up Mitch moved towards the dry pile and he said to the woman, “As you have such sore feet that need bandages, I’ll be delighted to carry your packs for you, especially as they are now so full of herbs and mushrooms.”<br/><br/>Kalista was regarded for a few more moments before he looked back at her packs and he wondered what the odd woman was doing in this foul weather, five minutes from an inn and he didn’t smell cooking.  Mitch was finding that it was just getting odder and odder and he then turned to regard the five foot curly hair and he narrowed his eyes just a fraction as he finally iterated, “You are more than you appear healer, and I look forward to you explaining over your up coming dinner a little about you.  After all, you owe me for scaring me half out of my mind.”
