Sam watched Raquelle with casual interest as August explained exactly who she was. "Uh huh," she said in understanding as she watched the girl balancing precariously on her saddle. she looked very much in danger of falling. "I see..." She looked away from the girl and back at August with raised eyebrows. "Well I don't know what you're talking about. She seems completely lovely and full of grace." Sam was smiling, teasing, and she looked back at Raquelle thoughtfully. "She does seem to be fawning over him, doesn't she. I take it Raquelle is nothing like her mother, then?"

Liam glanced towards the path that Raquelle was indicating. There were indeed trakes in the dirty road, not only from animals but from wagon wheels, as well. He sighed, considering it for a moment. Perhaps there was a inn out here for the people traveling along the King's Road. A soft bed would be nice, and no doubt the inn wuld have better food than what they had brought with them. She commented that he looked weak and irritable, and he was in fact. Weak from the traveling and irritable for numerous reasons. He hated to think it but Raquelle was one of those reasons, herself. He didn't say anything to her, though, and he spared her a glace. "I think we all could use better rest that what a tent can afford us," he told her diplomatically. "But it might be a farm, or a dwelling? They might not have enough food or space for all of us. Besides it could take us too far from the road." Liam looked at Raquelle and silently knew that he would not be able to deter her. "But I suppose we could look into it. Oi! Will!" He turned to call towards his friend, who pulled on his reins and turned to look back. "See that road close by? Can you follow it? See if there's a dwelling close?"

"Yes, sir!" Will and the other guard turned their horses onto the path and trotted off, out of sight. Everyone slowed, to give them some time to look around, and every several moments Will reappeared on the path. "There are lights up ahead and some sort of building. Not too far along the path. Should we see if we can rest there for the night?"

Liam didn't take too long to decide. He knew Raquelle would never let him hear the end of it if they didn't at least try. "Yes. It might be an inn. We could all use a proper hot meal." The other members of the party seemed to perk at the idea, so Liam started leading them down the path, Will and the other guard's horses falling into step beside his.
