"The biggest issue is it's not near our border. Now you know the area best of those here Eluvias, its many leagues. Now if they were ousted there's a sturdy old keep that could house forces during any transition period."
Eluvias raised an eyebrow at that. "A sturdy keep? If a dwarf would say that, then it would indeed be a solid addition to our growing kingdom."
"It could use some restoration mind but the foundations and fundamentals are sound." Brother Eldrast makes his good byes and lets ye move along.
Before long ye pass by Thornholmes only in which is a welcome sight after your long travels, a large portly balding man, called Oleg to those who know him, waves. "Back from your adventures? Glad to see you're all in one piece. Svetlana will be glad to hear you're back, she gets worried about you while you're all off fighting bandits and monsters you know!"

Before long ye pass by Thornholmes only inn which is a welcome sight after your long travels, a large portly balding man, called Oleg to those who know him, waves. "Back from your adventures? Glad to see you're all in one piece. Svetlana will be glad to hear you're back, she gets worried about you while you're all off fighting bandits and monsters you know!"
"Good day to you Oleg, wonderful to see you again!" says Impasha cheerfully with a friendly wave. "I hope you haven't given away my bed, I've been looking forward to a good comfortable night's sleep. Not to mention some of Svetlana's sausages! If you don't mind, I'll take Orlando back to the stables and give him a good feed, then come back for a feed for myself. And a tall glass of your cider."
"Oleg, this is Ani, she's going to be staying with us for a while." The paladin gestures back to the undine. "Ani, you're welcome to share my room and my bed if you like, there's plenty of room. I allow myself the luxury of not sleeping in the common room with the menfolk. Otherwise I'm sure Oleg can come up with something more private if you wish."
Much appreciated. I think at least for a few nights I’ll sleep under the stars, at least until I get cold.

Impasha nods, a slight creasing of her brow as she considers Ani's answer. "Well... the offer stands." she says with a little shrug, then with a final smile leads her horse off to the stable.
After seeing to her horse, she goes to her room, pulls off her armor and pulls on her green homespun dress, gathering her hair back with a simple ribbon and pulling on some calfskin slippers, then she makes her way downstairs for a solid meal. Though friendly and courteous to the other patrons, she makes clear she wishes to be alone, and she rejects a pint of ale brought to her by a local farmer, pleading her vow to drink no alcohol. At the mention of vows, the farmer fades back away from her.
After lunch, Impasha spends about an hour plucking chickens and peeling vegetables for the evening stew, just to give Svetlana a hand, then makes her way over to the orphanage to visit with the children and help the matron with the laundry.
