"You won't find the world out there any more friendly than it was when you fled it. But if that's what you want, I won't stop you. You are, after all, the most familier with the hills amoung all of us."The old woman's statement is met with a cry of protest from the young woman. The old woman hold up a hand warningly."Don't try my patience dear. If you do, you will be lucky if you get to go as far away as the south field before your next birthday."The old woman returns her attention to Jack."Well, are you offering?"At Jacks affirmation, the old woman nods emphatically."Right. Then its settled then. It is too late now for anything but bed. We can settle the price over breakfast. You," she says to Casparan, "and your companion can sleep in the barn with your mounts. I'm sure that you will feel more secure that way anyway." She peers into the darkness for a moment. "One of which is still wondering around out there somewhere." She waves vaguely off to the east. "It beats a cave, and I trust you have everything you need. Next time, when you return, if you arrive like decent people, we will see that there is a bed for you as is fitting for a guest."But come to the hall at dawn, and you can join us for morningmeal. I won't have it said that we sent away strangers, no matter how unfortunately they chose to arrive, without a decent meal in their bellies. We can what is "fair" then, and you can be on your way to save your precious Kingdoms."We don't have enough ponies to spare, so Jack can ride one of yours. The other you can leave here with anything else you don't need. The pony will be fed and well looked after until you return to collect it. You will see well enough for yourself, there are no badly treated animals on this farm."If there is nothing more to be said, she turns and heads back to the hall. Without needing to be told, the man with the dogs takes over getting things sorted.</blockquote>
