An hour and a half later Niamh burst through the Inn door panting.
"Is everything alright?" asked Pio from behind the counter.
"Ummm....yes I am fine Thankyou" replied Niamh combing here hair back behind her ears. "I am late and I didnt want to worry my sister"
"She is still in the stables".
"Oh, thankyou."
"Not at all."
And with that Niamh opened the door and ran around into the stables. "Sister I thought we were going to meet in the inn"
Startled Mylasia looked up at her still breathless sister. "Sorry I must have got sidetracked, come let us go back to the Inn and have some lunch"
Mylasia softly patted Roman's head, he nieghed quietly and contiued to eat the hay below him.
