Edina stood. "I am ready now." She smiled and half bounced to the door to lead them out.

Verreth stood and followed, staying near the end of the group. She could not guess how Damian was feeling right now and while she wanted to walk with him, she really didn't know him well enough to pry.

Edina led them down the road and towards the east side of town. Houses and buildings gave way to fields.

"Not much further. You can see the barn from here." She pointed into the distance.

The barn grew bigger and the stone house grew visible. There was a lane that led up to it though it had become overgrown.

Edina smiled. "See. Large space, large buildings. Needs some upkeep."

She began to pick her way down the lane towards the stone house. "They had a few horses you know. Big ones for farming so the barn is quite large. Pigs and a few cows too."

She lifted the hem of her dress and tip toed around a muddy spot. "House is one of the biggest around. I told you I knew a good spot."

Verreth walked, uncaring about the mud or obstacles. She was used to trekking through forest and usually as something much bigger than her current state. She said nothing but her eyes moved over the buildings. They were indeed large and with a bit of work would be habitable once more.

Edina stopped and turned. "Is this what you had in mind? Should we go look?"
