Rave listened attentively at Huntress' reply. She seemed very troubled, but somehow Rave felt she wanted to get through to her.

"So what about you Rave, are you just a Rider, or are you a travler to?"

"You could say I am a traveler." Rave replied. "I was on search of my past, but coming to this inn has seemed to make me turn from that quest. I have come to doubt I will ever find what I was looking for. I left my home in Rohan long ago to see if anyone could tell me answers. I traveled far across Middle Earth finding none. When I arrived here, I decided to abandon my search."
"What will you do after you leave, then?" asked Huntress. "You spoke of your home. Will you return there...with your family?"
Rave looked at Huntress as if looking through her. She seemed lonely---deserted in this world.
"I have no family." Rave said after a few short moments. "I have no family, thus nor do I have a home. I will never return to Rohan...ever."
Rave looked down at the table on which she rested her arms. It seemed as a shadow was hovering over her. She almost felt anger against the one city that she loved. She looked up suddenly at Huntress.
"What about you, Huntress?" she asked. "Hasn't your family been wondering where you are during you journey as a ranger?"
