She listened in respect to his explanation. His family came with them because he had his sword? How interesting and yet, it was quite special. To have something with you of your family- to never feel alone. She had never thought like that. She would return to her wagon and see if she had something from her mother passed from her grandmother- something she could ALWAYS have with her.<br/><br/>"It is a wonderful thing to have an heirloom that means so much to you and your family. It's a lovely idea to carry it with you and know your family is with you as well."<br/><br/>She spoke the sentence quietly. She missed her parents very much. She wished sickness had not taken them both. But she had learned long ago there was no use in letting herself fret over it. It would not bring them back.<br/><br/>She smiled. and then blessed, her cheeks warming as she noticed where his gaze was fixed. Her arms came up even higher as she carried the basket close to her and then walked ahead of him quickly.<br/><br/>"We have much ground to cover this day if we wish to be back before nightfall. And I for one do not wish to stay in this forest over night- I've heard too many stories of people who are caught in the woods at night and never seem to return!!" She shivered at that idea.
