"I doubt they're planning to stay, just passing us by, thought you might want to have a look before they passed." Emily smiled casually but shrugged a hint, the riders moving past the carriage and along the road in a fast pace, that movement frighteningly swift. Their mounts might be hounds instead of horses, but they were strong and swift by the looks of it. The riders passed at a pace that a good rider would have hard time matching, their pace seeming more suited for pursuit than simple patrol.<br/><br/>"Guess something is wrong though, given how fast they move. Still, they respond to even small threat seriously because you never know how things can escalate." Emily gently touched to Tehr's cheek, but then chuckling a moment pulled her fingers back. "Ahh, I kind of wish we had chosen to play, the excitement of almost being seen would have been a delightful tease, but then again we are nearly there." She smiled, the carriage continuing along its way.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>It only took a little longer before a turn lead them from amidst taller hills to a valley expanding to the distance, showing a great share of orchards, and fields of wheat growing here and there. It was a fertile valley area, with plenty of small farms here and there, but there also stood a large town at the heart of it, its shape far from regular round or square wall usually seen lining around the towns elsewhere. This was more fluid, with large buildings holding stone walls towards the outside, with curtain walls between them, though plenty of sturdy iron gates here and there. It looked like the people could leave the town from at least a dozen different spots, at just this one side. Yet at the time of a threat it could perhaps be still sealed up a protective fortress if necessary.<br/><br/>It didn't look like a true 'military town' but at the same time, there was stables outside the town limit, and there were large kennels with several hounds running on fields reserved for them. There appeared to be a fair share of happy, somewhat plump people working around, and others more thin, but one thing was clear, for their short size, the halfling women seemed to share a rather ample figure for most part. There was a share of less amply busty women about as well, but as far as average went, it seemed the short folk were stacked in some other ways.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, the ride brought them to the edge of the town, and the larger gates were opened to allow them passage into the town grounds, with a larger mansion showing at the back. "That is the home of House Ravos, and this town and its people welcome you."
