"It is only right. If you are willing to risk yourself for my people here, then helping with your ship after is the least we can do."<br/><br/>Releasing it, he turned to Thomas. "You are both right and wrong mein herr. People are dangerous, certainly, but some moreso than others." His hand flicked towards Thomas's sword belt. "Contrast that to a small child gathering mushrooms in the woods, or a farmer hoeing their crops. Taken by surprise, do you think they would be able to fight off a wolf or bear? My people are, for the main part, farmers. We have a few hunters, and a few men trained to the sword. Them I would rate against a beast, but a farmer less so."<br/><br/>Lastly he turned to Malcyn. "If you do not have a horse, I can offer you the loan of one from my stables. That should speed your journey, and keep you safer, I hope."<br/><br/>* * * *<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6b/Anna-dohrmann.jpg)</div>"Any Montaigne would certainly tell you as much." Anna agreed with Marsi's words, laughing. "But what is this problem that has you here? The woods can be strange at times, and there are stories in plenty about stranger happenings, but I've not seen anything that would be considered a real problem." Unspoken,<em>not compared to in Eisen</em>seemed to hang in the air. "There was a merchant through a few days ago made some talk of bandits. Is that it? Are you here to hunt down some wolfsheads?"
