As was Hephaestus be the looks of it as the horse ate greedily from Nimue's hands.<br/>"I was not planning on leaving just yet Nimue." Said the paladin, walking to her side to take a carrot from her to feed Hephaestus with. "My business here is not yet over. And even after that, I would very much like to stay if I am permitted. I have found my time here for the most part very enjoyable, and I believe that we may learn much from each other.<br/>"You would not yet be able to follow me on my travels though, as I do already have a squire." He continued, his hand brushing gently against hers as it seeked another carrot bit. "He is reaching a point in his training however where I can teach him no more. If you would like, perhaps you can study under me then? And I from you about your order?"
