Deorlin pushed his empty bowl aside with a determined grunt.

"I had thought to pass a quiet night here at this comfortable inn. But these rumors of Gondor have unsettled me mightily. I must forego the pleasure of a warm bed and take the road south at once." He sighed, imagining the hard, cold ground he would catch a few hours of exhausted sleep on in the small hours of the night.

"Well, Sadbh, I wish I could stay and tend to your horse. But I've done the best I can for now. Another dose of the same mix in the morning will probably set him right. Achae, I hope your journeys lead you to exciting adventures - but my experience lately has been long journeys usually mean many boring hours in the saddle and having to put up with quiet a bit of discomfort. Not that I'm complaining!" He grinned at the young woman.

"Ladies, I'll take my leave of your pleasant company, most unwillingly. Perhaps your travels will bring you south to Rohan, and I can offer you the hospitality of my family home in the Westfold. Just ask for me or my father, Deorwine. Or, if you'd like to start your adventure right now, Achae, or if you, Sadbh, wish to search for the prince in the southern realms, just saddle up and we'll ride together!" He laughed, a loud hearty sound that caused a few heads in the tavern to turn.

Deorlin then rose from the table and nodded his head in a parting salute.
