During the twenty minute stop it gave him time to have a much more pleasant conversation. Brushing the horse as the steeds took a drink he had to confess.<strong>"My chest was pounding the moment I saw you being struck by two of them."</strong>Darius had a moment of epiphany when he had spoken of it. He couldn't understand why he felt such desperation when she was in such near danger. He thought it was something about the job but that didn't feel right to him.<strong>"But I do feel real nice about my skin feeling clean again."</strong>He rode with her albeit he was less comfortable about riding than she was. Meanwhile the pair would occasionally talk about anything and everything in their hearts. From comfort foods, favorite season, just anything to kill time now.<br/><br/>When they reached the town of Tishhurra, it was nice to finally be back in civilization. Of course they would need something resembling a real bed for the two of them.<strong>"So which inn seems good? I'm considering the Gold Whistle. Some halfling cooked food sounds good."</strong>But for now, they spent some time exploring the stores and thinking about what they might need for the leg of the next journey. The roads would be even more harsher and they would obviously need more provisions and water for both mount and rider. But they had a good amount of gold and they could get some real nourishment for themselves. Might not be much but it would be luxurious compared to trail rations.
