"A gnome." River spoke the name over his tongue and stared at the jolly figurine. It was kind of creepy. "I thought it was some kind of goblin, or elf." River shrugged his broad shoulders before handing Bria the...flamingo. Honestly a bird like that existed? It looked like something out of a child's drawing. "Thank you for helping out." He looked at the villagers around him. There was a sense of wonder there as the looked upon Bria's handiwork. "They're so caught up in what you've done for them. They aren't thinking of their misfortune."<br/><br/>River listened to Bria's explaination of her intent for a wall and underground shelters. It was a good idea. Hell, it was a great idea! But not one he could approve of his own. It effected the entire village, so it needed the councils approval. River put a hand on his hip. "I like the idea and see the strategic need for it." He was still mulling it over in his brain. "We would need the council's approval. The next meeting is scheduled for next week." it was a shame. He would have liked those walls up, but it was a drastic change and Grimly folk were very resistant to it.<br/><br/>"Why don't we head out to my farm, eh?" River headed for the stable, where he pulled out a brown, even tempered mare. He led the mare to Bria and introduced them both. "Bria, this is Seta. Seta, Bria." River gave Bria the reigns before going for a cart. "Lead her over here and I'll show you how to hook Seta up." River was unsure if Bria had any Equestrian experience, but he would teach her regardless. "These here," River motioned to the long wooden prongs at the front of the cart. "Have metal clasps. You back the horse up, easy Seta.." He gently pulled on her reigns, causing the horse to huff. "And attach the clasps to the harness she's already wearing. Simple enough, right?"<br/><br/>River held out a hand for Bria to take to help get up to the cart's front seat. He climbed up after her and sat with a thud, the wood creaked just slightly. "Once we get out of town, I'll let you drive." River flicked the reigns lightly with a click of his tongue and Seta began to rumbling along the cobblestoned streets Bria had created. "It seems Parsifal will need to get in the horseshoe business."
