"This is going to be wonderful!" Tas said. "Can I really ride on your back, Rose? I'll sit in front, so I can lead you to the Inn of the Last Home. It's not very far. I wonder what Otik will say when a unicorn comes to visit his Inn. I can already smell the spiced potatoes. You'll all love them; they're great! Come on, let's go. We can't just sit around here forever." He hopped onto Rose's back in one energetic leap. "Let's go, let's go, let's go! Hurry up! This is fun! How fast can you go, Rose? Can we go super fast? Are you sure you can carry all of us? Sturm's pretty heavy. But you are a unicorn, so I guess you can carry us all. Isn't this wonderful?"

Rose laughed softly as she looked back towards Tasslehoff " I can go pretty fast and yes I can carry all three of you even with Strum's armor." She spoke as she waited for the other two.

"Really? That's great. It sure is nice having a unicorn as a friend. Just wait 'til I tell the others at the Inn of the Last Home. I'm sure you'll like them, Rose." Tas turned to Sturm and said, in his high pitched voice, "Hurry up, Sturm. We need to get going. There's no telling what kind of creatures are out there. Maybe we'll see a hord of goblins, or bats! Oooh, I'd love to see a bat. I've only seen a bat a few times before. I can't remember where exactly it was. Have you ever seen a bat, Rose? They're so amazing, with all the flying and hanging upside down they do. I'd like to hang upside down. I wonder what it feels like. . ."

Again looking at the mage, Sturm bowed and gestured to Rose. "After you."
"I'm sure Caramon could hold you upside-down if you ask him." One of the knight's rare jokes.

Tasslehoff grinned and shouted, "Do you really think Caramon would hold me upside-down? That would be so nice of him. I'm sure he wouldn't have much of a problem holding me upside-down, seeing how tall he is. Do you think he'd hold you upside-down, Sturm? Maybe not. You're too big and heavy. Not to be rude, of course. It'll be so nice to see Caramon again, and Flint! I wonder if he's changed any. Do dwarves change much? Have you ever met a dwarf, Rose. They're very friendly, and funny, and wonderful. I'm sure you'll like Flint. He's my best friend ever. Oh, I like you too, Sturm."

Rose just shook her head lightly " Sturm just get on I have a feeling that she wants to get on after so she keeps her cool and does not have to fry Tasslehoff." She spoke as she then shook her head at what the Kender said " If you keep speaking a mile a minute or pitching your voice too high in my ear you will be held upside down by your foot."

"I will not ride with a kender, or the knight.", Isilwen said drawing herself up proudly. "Besides, if what the kender says is true, we are not too far off from the Inn. I would just as soon walk."

Rose just nodded as she then looked towards Strum " You can walk or ride your choice." She spoke as she continued to wait on his chioce.

"Would you really hold me upside-down by my foot? That would sure be interesting. I've never had that done to me before!" Tas turned his head toward Isilwen. "What's so bad about riding with a kender? Well, I guess you wouldn't know; you've never ridden on the back of a unicorn before. Come on, Sturm! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! I'm ready! Let's go! The sooner we get there the sooner we can do something interesting! I really want Caramon to hold me upside-down. My stomach feels all funny just thinking about it. It'll be dark soon. Do you really know what comes out at night time? Do you really want to know? Well, I think that we may see a few thousand goblins, or a band of ogres, or a few minotaurs or so. Let's go!"

Sturm thought about what Rose said. Maybe she was right. He shook his head. No, he had been taught to treat women with respect, and for the time being he would do so with the mage as well. But as she had decided to walk...
Not that he could blame her, he admitted to himself. Not even a unicorn would be enough to keep the kender's hands away from their possessions. "I will walk as well. I have done it so far and I can do it the rest of the way."

Rose just nodded as she then started walking towards the Inn. She could hear the nocturnal animals begin to wake up, but she knew that they wouldn't come near her. She just wouldn't tell the others of the group just to see how they reacted. " If you think I am going the wrong way just say so Tasslehoff do not pull on my mane or kick my sides."

"Very well then, I shall walk." She started towards where Drezden was standing; ready to go. " 'What's so bad about riding with a kender?' Well, I would like to keep all of my belongings for one.", she said recalling Tas's hand in her bags not long ago. "Yes, there is the possiblity that there might be goblins.", she said dryly.

"Ok, Rose." Tas said cheerfully. "Do you really think we'll see goblins? I wonder if I can make a few goblin friends. I'm sure goblins would like me. I wonder what that sound is." He just now heard the sounds of night animals waking. "I can make sounds like that!" Tas immitated an owl sound; he hooted until his mouth was dry. "Wooh! Making owl sounds is hard work. Are we almost there? I'm bored. Can we go faster? I think we're going the right way; if only we could go faster. I've never walked to the Inn from this direction. It's interesting. Hey, Rose, where did you grow up? Did you live in a forest like this one?" He asked eagerly.

Rose went into a slow trott before speaking " I was born in a meadow Tas. Then I ran away after my foal was taken from me and started to live my life wherever the wind blew me in." She spoke as she listened to the sounds around her. She was still in sight of the others so she wasn't worried that they would get lost. " No there are no goblins in the area so we will not be making any friends with them."

"A meadow? That's great. I wonder what it would be like to live in a meadow. Actually, it would be pretty boring now that I think about it. Are you sure there aren't any goblins around here?" Tas looked around. "I thought that there would at least be a few. Maybe we'll get into a fight with a few goblins on the way. I hope we get ambushed! Wouldn't that be fun? I've always wondered what it would be like to get ambushed. Tanis has talked about it once or twice before. Do you know Tanis? He's really nice. You'll be able to meet him once we get to the Inn. I'm sure you'll like him. Do you like spiced potatoes? I love them. I can get you a big plate of spiced potatoes. Otik makes the best spiced potatoes. Are we almost there?"
