With legs that felt more like wooden fence posts and a rump that felt completely nonexistant, vibrated by wheels over bumpy roads until it ceased to exist, Elke nodded her agreement with Ethelgifr's sentiments. "A long day. A long week, even."
Leaning her head out of the window, she tried to catch a glimpse around the side of the carriage at the mark who were greeting them. Mostly her view was eclipsed by the side of the carriage and the rear of the horse lashed to it. A sliver of lightly armored soldier with spear in-hand was visible, and the gates of the settlement around him. Surely with such minimal defenses, this village was a quiet one.
Elke sat back down at Ethelgifr's resumed speaking.
Smiling, she responded, "Yes, that sounds lovely; I think something brewed would do us all well."
After some time, she felt the carriage begin to move again and watched out the window as they entered through the stakewall and into the little village. "What was it you said was the name of this village - Finnsa?" Although unspoken, a hint of disappointment might have come through in Elke's question; although the settlement had been described as small, she had hoped for something equipped with a few more amenities than this. The young woman could rough it with the best forest rangers, sure, but it didn't mean that she necessarily liked to, especially after enjoying the accommodations offered near the Fountain. Well, at least there seemed to be some proper built structures here - an inn there, a shop over there....
"Do you have friends here, Lady Ethelgifr?"
