Lydia was relieved that the confrontation had been avoided; she really didn't want to end up fighting the woman because she didn't have the ability to back down... Lydia had been required to make the point that she wasn't going to be a rug to be walked upon by anyone, nor was she a brainless servant to be ordered about... still, better that it was all avoided to begin with.<br/><br/>She looked to the others and put the unpleasantness behind her with a flick of the wrist. "Lydia Lovelady." she introduced herself and smiled ryely to the offer of the door, "I must apologize for not acceping the curtesy that you offered, Perhaps I should of let things sit until we had reached the city, but by then things would of progressed too far to let any of us have enough freedom to do whatever job we are here for, I fear."<br/><br/>She sighed and climbed into the carriage and settled herself against the back of the seat facing forward. With her backpack secured in her lap, she contented herself with looking out the window at the outside world, "How long as the blood moon been a problem?" she asked idely, just to hve something more to learn. "I appreciate the advice and will try to abide by it; I'm only here to do a job and hopefully, avoid causing any further trouble than necessary." She smiled again, another rye smile that she hoped conveyed a lighter tone.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Lydia found herself sitting in someone's lap as the floor tilted hard and the wagon stopped. "Sorry." she said hurriedly and climbed out of the carriage before anything could happen to trap them there. "I'll apologize more later!" she called back as she rolled to her feet and scaned the surroundings for a critical few moments. "The horses shouldn't run far, they just got a little spooked... shall we try to collect them again?"
