Derra looked up at the stranger, even saddled on Jester she was still a bit shorter than Yumi. Jester sniffed at the woman's pockets, strangers often gave her snacks and she was fammished in the way only a fat pony could be. Derra took comfort in the fact that Jester wasn't skittish around this stranger, and shook the woman's hand.

[b]"I'm Derra, and yes I saw her grab a poster from the guild hall and thought I'd see if she needed a Healer on her quest."[/b] She thought for a moment about the woman's question, thinking it odd she would ask what Derra wanted. In her world it was only what the clan wanted that truly mattered, Dwarves usually sought what they wanted for themselves later in life when they had affixed their place in the clan. [b]"I suppose for now what I want is to serve my clan and people in the best way I can as a Healer. At this time that means learning all I can to bring back to them new skills. I'm to stay out in the world for three years before going back."[/b]

She fiddled with the pack behind her for a treat to give Jester, if she didn't give her something she might start biting at the woman's clothes. She lightly patted the pony on the head to get her attention and gave her a treat made of oats and sugar. She felt the pony shudder with pleasure as she ate it.

[b]"Sorry about her, she's always hungry. Dunno how she's not as big as a boudler eating as much as she does."[/b] Derra said, looking back at Yumi.
