A new light seemed to be in Lumiel since Uien had consented to let Lumiel come with her. She smiled and laughed at the antics of the fellow patrons, and felt her first remembered joy with other people since the shadow that lay all to recently in her past.
Yet, she thought still about what she had agreed to do, and made sure to keep her things, few though they were, ready and packed for the time when they would depart. She had also noticed a hobbit, Falco, who seemed a bit uppity to Uien, and she wasn't sure why. Curious about this, and concerned of other matters, she left the dry warmth of the Inn and stepped out into the refreshing summer rain and into the stable, where a pleasant moist feeling permeated.
Uien was busying herself in the stables, as Lumiel had discovered was her habit. "Uien?" she spoke softly with a youthful voice and wide eyes, catching the woman's attention. "I was just wondering...I have no horse to travel on, do you know who I could buy a horse from? I have enough money for that." Lumiel nodded her head slightly as Uien told her and paused, uncertain about whether to ask or not, but her curiosity won over. "Uien, that Falco, why does he harass you so? I guess I'm a little confused about why he acts like that. If you don't want to explain, I understand..." she said, yet her eyes showed her eagerness to know.
