The sound of hoofbeats on snow was her answer as two men pulled up on horseback. "We will escort the ladies home," the larger man said. He had a gruff voice and looked like a born fighter.
The older woman narrowed her eyes. "I don't know why I even bother arguing with any of you. Fine, they're here, so you can take my horse. Off with you.
The man grinned and bowed. "I live to serve." He offered an arm to Aerith. "If it helps, I didn't take a horse here, I walked. She will ride double with Elendill, and be escorted safely home. And you and I shall ride to Eyota. It is not far from here by horseback, even on the longest night."
