Valen slowly stood up as well, stretching out a bit and thinking a moment. "I think right now I would enjoy a bath, a meal, and then I guess I should talk to the council. As much as it would be fun shocking them, you'd have to live with them after that fact too. Maybe as a stunt if you ever decide to leave this place, I'll come scoop you away from the meeting while threatening to do such hideously devious acts on your warmth that they'll have trouble sitting down normally just imagining it, finding themselves missing you a whole lot and perhaps , if there's women among them, envying you for your fate." He kissed her cheek and smirked playfully. He doubted she'd abandon this place. She seemed to care for the people, even if she disliked the leaders.<br/><br/>"But for now, a bath and a meal sounds like a plan, after that I'm set to get on the road again. I'll have to find that horse and make sure she's gotten to eat right. I brought some feed with me, but I need to get some on the road back." Sighing, he winced at the thought of leaving. "And then I gotta prepare in the future to carry more when I come over, so I wont have to worry on stupid little things when I visit you." He pet her hair, and nod.
