“I see, how interesting,” Yosef replied, unable to take his eyes off the stag. He wanted to burn such beauty into his mind. “A stag like this is a rare sight to behold, I’m almost jealous.” He wasn’t surprised to hear about the woman’s loss of family. These were hard times for everyone, losing family or being separated, as he had been from his sister, was not uncommon.<br/><br/>Yosef turned away from the stag and the woman, “Anyway,” he continued. “I should be heading off. I’m sure you have somewhere important you need to be as well.” He checked himself, making sure everything he was carrying was still with him and not on the horse. It was a good thing he had chosen to travel light. Carrying only the essentials in a satchel, and his dagger, which was tucked away in a sheath fastened to his belt, was a lot more convenient than a heavy bag or two.
