I think she could use your guidance Shal, you also left home far too early, and left me far too early as well...Forcing his mind back to the task at hand, Balin knew that there would be little he could do in planning the defense of the town, but if his spells were needed, he would need to consult his spellbook."Forgive an old man for the weariness of the road, but I think I am going to retrieve my pack and retire for awhile. I leave you in good hands Nyra, perhaps the best you can be in away from the desert. Just don't let Zyr talk you into a game of sava, he is far better than he pretends to be."Leaning on his staff as he started back out the door, Balin rested one hand lightly on Hargrim's shoulder."Now is the time to honor your people lad. Many lives will be saved with your thoughts."Moving through the crowd once more with his odd gait, Balin exited the inn and looked around the peaceful town. How long did they have before the orcs attacked? How much could four do against the many?~We shall see soon enough I suppose, may the Song have mercy on us all...~</blockquote>
