Raimius isn't the most socially accomplished fellow in the world.
"Naturally."2561642 wrote:"Of course. I just need to know what the horses look like and your asking price, then I'll get right on it."
In the stables you find two burly horses that look best suited to pulling a wagon (as indeed they have been) and one long-legged mount that looks like a fine riding horse. a couple of days of rest have done them a world of good, and the taller horse looks lively enough to leave the stables right away.
Raimius shakes his head. "They have barely been touched since they got here." He looks for a brush once he has made sure the feed and water are what they should be. "I don't enjoy letting them go, especially ol' Thunder here. However, we can't take them with us as if they were some sort of luggage, and they weren't bred for the far north in any case. I'd hate getting them killed more, so.... do what you can. I'll wait here since they are going to want to see them before they buy."
Their hooves look a little rough, these horses won't be going far until they are re-shod, but that is the only flaw you can see in them.
Beatrix blinks. "You like our cooking that much?" She mulls it over, and asks "How soon do you need it?"The Rookie wrote:Indeed they do. The one fellow you were focused on pushes his plate away, looking a little green.Phaing wrote:Sylvi gently places her icebox down on the bench in front of Beatrix before turning to the closest snickering male, steak still in mouth. Sylvi taps the man on the shoulder, looks the man dead in the eye, giving him a cute flutter of her eye lashes, before gripping the chunk of meat that hung from her jaws, sinking her fangs deep into the flesh and tearing it effortlessly in two.
(I assume he gets the message)
The rest of them don't have anything cute to say, to Sylvi. The joker, on the other hand, it going to be teased for the rest of the afternoon.

"<That ought to make him think twice next time he imagines his 'meat' anywhere near a carnivores' jaws, eh?>" Sylvi chuckles, clearly relishing in the sudden expression of shock she'd inflicted on the poor soul. "<Speaking of meat, I was wondering if you'd be able to help me gather some provisions? Enough for 4 humans and 2 kiedran to survive on for a week at least?>"
And she will have to go get the Innkeeper.
"Ah, well, as I recall you have good coin, so it won't be much of a problem. I can have a package ... two packages if lifting 50 pounds would be a problem." He's doing the math in his head, quickly, and he is pretty good at it. "Equal parts jerky, hardtack, cornmeal preserves in jars. If you can't do any cooking along the way, the packages will be larger but won't weigh any more than that, I'll just substitute Pemican for the cornmeal."
And he names a price that is hardly a bargain, but your request means a lot of extra work for the staff.
