IA: A Teacher for Laynie

[Rystil Arden]

"Darina gave it to me," Laynie replies, tossing it up and catching it again, "I wonder where the Academy place is hiding?"

 

[Bront]

"Oh, the little one from the Inn? How nice."

"I think he said it was a bit of a treck, we might be needing a place to rest on the way."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, okay. Where do you think we should rest? That old dried-up fountain over there? Or the broken tower over past there?"

 

[Bront]

"We'll find a place when it gets late enough," Vanitri says. "Merraen, perhaps we can pick up the pace a bit?"

Vanitri looks at his horse, at the Merraen's mount, and then Merraen.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I suppose so...it might have been faster if we hadn't brought the horses--it is tough going leading them over the cracked cobblestones and narrow twisting streets.*

(OOC: You brought the horses?)

 

[Bront]

OOC: Well, I assumed it was a long trip over paved road. If it wasn't I probably wouldn't have.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It is close enough to be feasible to walk, and it isn't paved. So let's say they didn't?)

*The trio continues onward at an easy pace for Vanitri to compensate for Mearran and Laynie's smaller strides. The girl and the katara seem a bit out of breath, however, by the time they pass the dried-out fountain Laynie had spotted and reach the fallen tower.*

 

[Bront]

"Let's take a quick break here, shall we?"

Vanitri looks around at the fountain and the tower, looking for a cool spot to sit.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*There's a small, smooth slab of stone under the shadow of the tower's remains that looks like it would be an ideal spot to sit out of the sun.*

 

[Bront]

"There, that's a good spot," Vanitri says, pointing to the stone.
