She offered an apologetic smile to him. "While I appreciate the offer, human alcohol and I...do not mix well in my experience."<br/><br/>She paused for a moment, moving enough to reveal a pair of trinkets hung around her neck, but exactly what they were was well hidden under her tunic. After a moment she finally let out a chuckle.<br/><br/>"It is not a trip I would make this night, but there is a friend of mine who lives within the forest who keeps horses for any travellers who need them, I could take you to them." She suddenly felt a flush of embarrassment. "I wouldn't impose my company upon you if you did not wish it of course."
