"Hmm. Alright, I think that you make a good point." He let out a breath. "If I'm taking a loan, I ought to put it to good use. Alright, please lend me that 150 gold pieces, and I'll pay you back as well as the interest on my return. If it cuts out six days of travelling time, it sounds like it is worth its price afterall to rent a horse for this journey, and possibly the next few that are more distant in nature" He smiled a bit but shrug. Well, he'd have to make sure to buy feed for the horse while on the road, but it still seemed like it would help him out.<br/><br/>He smiled at her and let out a small laugh. "I suppose you'd love to see a wizard having to get out of his shirt and work hard at plowing till out of breath and a bead of sweat on his chest, huh?" He smiled to her slightly and then chuckled. "I'll have to ask if the ol' hooter at the inn would part from one of his horses for a price, I think I am to do work for the society I'll end up needing the horse. At least until I can learn enough of magic to make such journeys quicker."<br/><br/>Valen shrugged a hint, looking at her face calmly admiring her looks for a few seconds."So, just in case, how much of an interest do you charge for your little loans usually?" He smiled to her happily, but feeling a little curious for the moment. "Enough to leave a poor elf shirtless and without pants?"
