Three days later, after selling out overcoats and doing a bit of small business, Guy was ready to return and came to bid farewell to Tilan.
"Leave these two ponies with Hexia." Guy led the two ponies he had exchanged for at the Lake Wind Settlement to the shed beside the small house.
When he left, he had purchased quite a few supplies, and using these two young ponies to pull the cart wasn't sufficient, so he exchanged them for two larger packhorses.
"Hexia might find them useful for outings in the future." Guy informed Hexia.
"I understand." Hexia nodded, accepting the two still naive ponies, then conversed with Guy for a while longer.
"Regarding the expedition to the ruins, it will have to wait until after winter next year; the weather is about to turn cold, and the settlement is short-handed, with many things needing to be done."
