Even if I have once and while got silly dreams in visiting fine courts and wearing a dress....but same time I know I would not be comfortable in there and worry how my herd is doing. Along with dozen other animals I take care off in Yelmed. Once you become a veterinary, your committed to life for your work until you go to grave. But I do not mind, as I love the animals and I wish able take care of them long as I can."<br/><br/>As Vanessë made her question towards Erin he finished chewing down a potato and replied with empty mouth; "My usual trade routes go around Shajpi River, up and down to where it starts and ends. I have visited to the Valley of Blossoms and past that to Takonj Mountains and traded with Lempak tribes. I have also gone over the hills to Calamb Mountains and traded with outpost near border where Royal Courts region starts in." Derin adds from end of the table; "Erin's runs last usually several weeks, even a month. He barely stays home enough even leave dirt of the road and ruffle up his bed before he leaves again."<br/><br/>Erin sighs and replies to his father; "Yes, I know I have been awful son in regards staying home but I would not trade my journeys for nothing. As even if it's same route you get to see new things everytime and I do valuable work in keeping trade flowing between settlements and make Yelmed prosperous my own way. Sometimes in the trips you get excitement in form of wild animal encounters and stormy weathers. Even few bandit attacks by goblins and other races, so far I can say my caravan has not been pillaged even once and great thanks comes to skills of Yelmed militia and my skills what I learned when I trained in militia in youth."<br/><br/>Erin then looks to Vanessë and replies; "So your family lived in Yelmed years ago and you sort returned to your roots? Sadly I may had missed chance see you dance then back then, was perhaps either day dreaming somewhere or playing hero and bandits with other boys. So your staying how long? At least while to study with Master Soveliss Galanodel? Congrulations, I tried years beg him to teach him but he refused. Told I had no talent to arcane whatsoever. It sort crushed my spirits as I had much admiration to my grandfather, Snow Ranger."<br/><br/>Derin rolls his eyes and says; "I still say my father is not that special, he is just very old ranger who is still capable guarding roads in the mountains. He was almost never home, always moving. But for his credit mountains are very dangerous and you do not get live that old age without being very skilled and know thing or two."<br/><br/>Erin looks his father, sighs and then continues; "Well, as I was saying it was quite blow to young boy's confidence for a adventurer and hero like Master Soveliss dismiss me, but militia captain picked me up and mentored me and told even if I lack talent to arcane, a good skill with blades and bow can be equally if not more effective at times in career of adventuring." Erin then looks Vanessë and asks from her; "So what kind of mentor Master Soveliss is?"
