[b]"No need to fear traveler, I'm just checking out the stables"[/b]
Kyron walked closer to the stranger, he was on the ground, the mare from the streets next to him, also on the ground.
[b]"That mare seems to be in a pretty bad shape, horses tend to sleep while standing up, they only lie down when they're really tired. She also had a pretty nasty wound. May I ask how she got it?"[/b]

Kyron examined the traveler himself more closely, he really wasn't in any good shape either and the smell of medicine lightly lingered in the air. It was hard to really see his features due to the darkness but his clothes seemed to be mainly black, or brown, Kyron couldn't tell.
[b]"I have a proposition for you, I really need you to be gone from this stable."[/b]
Kyron suddenly noticed how menacing that sounded and quickly added.
[b]"I will pay a room for the night for you, I can't say more."[/b]

Kyron didn't see any reason for the traveler to refuse a room. He had a weird feeling though, like he actually knew this traveler, but Kyron was sure he never saw him before, and that the traveler never saw Kyron either. It is hard to forget a man with such a unique and shiny armor as the paladin's.
[b]"I can also treat that wound of yours if you like."[/b]
