At the Stables

Lydia gasped, staring at the man on the moose. "Arad?" She sheathed her sword, "What is this thing?"

Brrrr! The moose growled. He glared down, kicking the ground with his front legs.

"I haven't named him yet. Call him moose, or he might get upset," Arad patted the moose's head.

"You didn't give him a name yet? How about Jean or Raptor?" Lydia lifted her hand, trying to touch the moose's head.

"I will think about it later," Arad extended his arm to her, "Let's get up,"

Lydia shook her head. "You will hurt him." She patted her armor, causing it to crack.

"The stables are close. Let's see if they have a large enough saddle." She pointed into the distance, "He bought the extra time. We could spend some to get him a saddle," Arad didn't want to harm the moose. Aella didn't seem to be in immediate danger, so it was okay to tend to this matter first.

Lydia walked beside the moose until they reached the stables.
