Lydia turned to look at the lake and the mansion in the distance, "Unless you think that standing on a pier is going to be safer until what passes for sunrise around here, I wouldn't be much interested in the jetty if there's not a boat there and if the place has been abandoned as long as implied, the boat probably wouldn't float far enough to get us across."<br/><br/>She looked back toward the old man's back, "I'm here to clear the mansion of the wee beasties, so going there serves my needs as well as anyplace... but I don't like leaving an old man along in these woods. We're all adults and I would assume experienced in dealing with dangers.We'll just avoid any bridges and your headless horseman should be contained, if the stories are true... I know more about the traditional undead... vampires, zombies and the like."
