(Hm... makes sense, and I know about the bath thing, and I know your intentions with Aria being 'first' after all, but that's not what I mean.  Can some of the girls be just a tad bit less goofy, like that one shopkeep as a prime example to be toned down?  You don't have to make them deathly serious, but just a bit more mature than at the moment, please?)<br/><br/>My sleep is sound, and when I wake up... goddamn horse!  I'm serious about turning him into glue if he keeps this shit up... pardon the pun of course... I stand in front of him, and look him in the eyes.<br/><br/>"Look, if you can understand me, please just humor me; I know you don't like me for whatever reason." I say to it, figuring it can't hurt to try "The trip won't be too terribly long, and when you get back I'll make sure you get a nice bushel of carrots, and a big ol' thing of sugarcubes, okay?"<br/><br/>That done, I saddle up again, and make my way down the road, again looking for signs of the lost caravan...
