The Stables

[The Smith]

Allard nodded, "That is true. No one could argue with you. Where do you want to go from here?"

[Helyn Caron]

"that is up to you, I know of nowhere." she smiled.

[The Smith]

Allard replied, with a grunt, "Perhaps we should head North then. There is another good view in that direction."

[Helyn Caron]

'Is there somewhere we can rest for a while up there?'

[The Smith]

Allard nodded, "I know just the place." He kicked his horse into a near gallop, rode to a view. There was an ancient stone bench atop a hill staring down at the surrounding crags, and valleys.

[Helyn Caron]

Helyn followed on her new horse. she looked around at the surroundings.

[The Smith]

Allard dismounted and walked over to the bench. He sat down, and stared out into the hills of the west. "You can see Casterly Rock in that direction if you squint. That hill is not a hill but out keep."

[Helyn Caron]

Helyn slid off the horse with a little difficulty, it was a higher hand than her previous one. 'she walked over to where her was sat and stood just behind the bench. ''You can see quite far.'

[The Smith]

Allard nodded, "You can not see them, but the first of our mines lie right over that rise." He pointed again.

[Helyn Caron]

She looked to where he pointed

[The Smith]

She could see the rise. But the Gold mines were not in sight.

[Helyn Caron]

'Very nice.'

[The Smith]

Allard nodded. "That gold and the men of Casterly Rock are the reasons that my house has achieved the apex of civilization."

[Helyn Caron]

"your family has done quite well. Which still makes me wonder why you are interested in me, you could have any single girl you so chose. I am quite plane compared to others."

[The Smith]

Allard shook his head, "I do not understand how you think yourself plain?"
