If you adventurers care to recruit Saeryn's aid, I'm sure she can find all manner of things to help in the adventure. Including sweets for later.

Ooh! Sweets!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Absolutely no idea what to do with my characters right now, and haven't felt like creating filler material. Have any of Marenil's suggestions been carried out despite his lack of employment, LMP?

Pens have been built and animals bought in to populate the front space between Hall and road. A house for the Ladies is in the plans after the kitchen is completed. Fees from the markets is being looked into all over again this very Day by Eodwine. That would be about a month's worthy, I think.

So does that mean that some kind of small paddock for the horses would already have been built as well? If so, I'm going to have to go back and edit my last post.

Not necessarily. Though they'd have room to move around and all, chance has it that they'd still not be exercised nearly as much as should be.

Then again, most of our folks, or at least a lot of them, are Rohirric. I can't see them neglecting their animals. So even if we don't write that our characters are cosseting their babies, they still probably would be... right?

My post seems to have no point.

Quite possibly?

The other thing that I had started wondering about was how much it was Leof's responsibility to exercise the horses - part of it might depend on whose they are (I know in the AiE, someone wrote there to be 15 - I can count Eodwine's, Leof's, Garwine's, Linduial's, Marenil's, and Manawyth's - that leaves 9 - belonging to the Eorl? belonging to people having them boarded? I would think that if they belonged to people having them boarded, they wouldn't be kept in the city unless they were used at least fairly often...), but as I initially understood it, an ostler would be responsible for feed, grooming, stable upkeep, etc. Is exercise really one of those duties as well?
