"No need to fear traveller I'm just checking out the stables." said the stranger as he approached, Magnus inched back, keeping the mare behind him, his hand tense on the dagger from her saddle bags, "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?", the stranger was getting on Magnus' nerves, all he wanted to do was comfort Lelana and have a semi-restful sleep.
"caravan was attacked, we got hit by an arrow. Ran almost all the way here." he said to the armored lump infront of him, Magnus glared cautiously at him. The strange night seemed to ignore him.
"I have a proposition for you, I really need you to be gone from this stable. I will pay a room for you for the night, I can't say anymore." the stranger looked down at Magnus with a pleased look I'm his eyes, as if Magnus would submit.
"I payed for this pen, I don't take charity, bugger off." he said simply laying his head on the mare and shutting his eyes to try and get some sleep.
