Oooh, Trinia? Arisa arched a slim eyebrow...Her expression oh-so-thoughtful. Had Trinia been keeping something from her? She'd never heard her daughter mention Jac-<br/><br/>...No, she was fairly certain Trinia didn't think about Jacob at all!<br/><br/>"Well...I think she'll be interested," Arisa said, as diplomatically as she could manage! "It's been a while since anything exciting has happened near town..." To be fair, Trinia would have been an adventuress - and she might still be! - when she completed her militia training...That is, if the girl didn't decide to head to the big city!<br/><br/>As for the rest - Well, it wouldn't do to place his hopes *too* high. Oh, dear...<br/><br/>While Arisa was still thinking this through, Jacob was already hurrying ahead - As the lovely blonde Paladin lengthened her stride to keep up with him! "Don't get *too* far ahead," she chided, gently...Goblins had a thing for sneak attacks, after all! Despite her light words, the swordswoman's gaze lingered on the thickening undergrowth...They *were* a bit further out that unusual.<br/><br/>Her hand dropped to the hilt of her sword - Jacob, engrossed as he was with finding the path, probably wouldn't be *too* useful in a fight. She'd have to keep an eye out for him.<br/><br/>Come to think of it - If the wagon had come this was...Shouldn't there have been tracks? Or some signs of it's passage? Either she hadn't been paying attention, or...Hmmm. The explanation might be troubling, either way - She had a feeling they might run into trouble soon.<br/><br/>Hopefully, Trinia had stopped that awful merchant from being lynched...Arisa sighed, ever-so-slightly - Who would've thought a single new arrival could've made things so complicated~? At least her daughter could take care of herself...She just hoped that the townsfolk would settle in - At least until she found some way to pay off the taxes they owed. How had it come to this, anyway~?
