***** DALE-Girion *****

Girion breathed a sigh of relief at Frain's words. It would be easier going if they left a great deal of their baggage and wares behind. He accompanied the Dwarf to where Stonehelm stood, and listened as Frain told the King of his decision. Girion volunteered his help to organize the sorting out of the wagon's good's, with the leave, of course of Frain. Frain would be freed then to pick what he valued most to carry with him.

Once done with this task, Girion sought out his attendant and let him take care of his wound, using a new salve and a compress given to Rubin by Hringa. The soothing effect of the herbs was immediate, and Girion felt his leg muscles relax into a more normal posture. He tried a few steps. The leg still hurt, but still he thought it seemed less. He clapped Rubin on the back, thanking him, and laughing at the remembered incident of future wives.

'Yes! a king must ride well,' he mused, 'but then that would require a horse, I think!' He laughed again and went to offer help to Frain with his sortings.
