Piper giggled a little at his â€˜old boys are tougherâ€™ comment since she found that funny. She didnâ€™t really believe in those old stories since the truth would be that some people got taken by ogres and other such creatures. That forest in particular was not completely explored and so there were a lot of strange and unknown creatures hiding amongst the dark green foliage. Some even say they can hear the whispers from those who had lost their way in those woods and still called for help. It was unfortunate that these spirits ended up getting the living person lost and ultimately added to the lost souls of the forest. She tried to help him push the bed too but she had a feeling he was stronger than her and that she did little in the pushing. When he spoke of a caravan her eyes lit up in excitement, â€œA real exposition! I cannot wait!â€ She sat on the edge of the bed and pulled off her boots and left them to stay warm by the fire, â€œI donâ€™t mind joining one and if you want you can barter with the people of a caravan, or I can. Itâ€™s up to you.â€<br/><br/>Next went her cloak which she kept on the bed to keep herself warm and then her dagger which she kept next to her, â€œOf course I know how to use a weapon. Father wanted a son she he had me trained in sword fighting. It was one of my lessons that I never missed.â€ She thought about when they had first met on the beach and flushed lightly in embarrassment, â€œDonâ€™t think my skills are poor because you surprised me on the beach. I hadnâ€™t expected an opponent at that time but if you ever spared with me youâ€™d see Iâ€™m a decent swordswoman.â€ There was a fiery challenge in her eyes and posture that dared him to say differently.
