"my thanks" he took the carrots and went back his own way towards the inn the young lady had recommended, but not before turning back to say something. "A young lady such as yourself had better take care to be careful. Especially with a witch in the area......." With that he left with carrot, and horse in tow.<br/><br/>"She's an interesting one isn't she Pfeffer?" The horse merely shook its head to shoo away a horsefly in response. "Isn't it odd that she lives so far out of town? You don't think she's hiding something do you Pfeffer?" Again another noncommittal shake of its head. "Still such a nice young lady I do hope that she isn't the one that we're looking for." Silence "Ah, well have a carrot" The pair munched on their carrots and reached the inn at their own relaxed pace. Every now and then stopping to let one or several of the village children play with Pfeffer, or cajole Fritz into buying them sweets.
