Walking distance, I hope?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Io laughed. "Well, that's what happen when a bunch of us congregate in the same place." He nodded at a cozy looking pub with a nicely painted sign hanging over the door. Lily couldn't quite see as they raced by, but there appeared to be two animals painted on the sign.<br/>"The Stoat and Badger, it's run by our kind," Io said. "And yes, it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the school to the village. We'll be able to see it soon."
