"Oh, but you have so many other talents, Erin!" he assured him. "Honestly, I couldn't imagine coming out here without you watching the trail. I'm perfectly capable of foraging for food or tracking a deer by myself, but with these bandits on the loose? I'm sure I'd walk straight into an ambush that you would see coming a mile away."<br/><br/>He obviously appreciated having Onette along for her music, even if her more risque songs could make him blush surprisingly easily. He nibbled at the stew as he paid attention to Onette's advice to Erin. "I think that's your best move - look for the right person to give it to. You have good judgement, and the two I've analysed aren't much use to you personally. The disease protection will only be useful if some kind of plague comes through the village, and then you'll have to decide who to give it to. The youth elixir... well, it wouldn't be any good for you today, or even twenty years from now! And it will have lost its potency by the time I would benefit from it. You'll have to use your wisdom to decide who should have it."<br/><br/>As dinner went on, Quarion looked thoughtful. "If the fox and its predicament in the bushes was all the doing of the fey, then... we haven't come across any sign of the bandits at all, have we? I suppose we're not at the Frax-side Trade Road yet, though, so we wouldn't have expected them yet. Soon, though, I hope! I think we're all working together really well!"
