The man can't help but smile a little as he nods. "Very well then. Raina, I'll go tell the Soia family that you'll be taking their shipment of strawberries into the world. Go get packed." He flashes Adris a smile of gratitude and walks off. Raina waits until her father is out of sight before giving a shout of glee and jumping up.

"This is wonderful! Thank you Adris!" she embraces him quickly, then spins around to head into the house. "I shant take long. Do you need anything to prepare as well?"

[adris]

With the warm smile coming back to him he says, "No my lady, I don't need anything for the travels rather then to know the final destination... I have been to most of the major cities enough to know about where we need to go in order to arrive and make the delivery. Now you take your time getting ready though, I am in your employment and as such I do what you tell me to do."

He gave her a wink, happy that he has done well to bring joy to this girl. He finds a place he can rest his feet while waiting and takes his position. He remembered his little knapsack that he had at his back, that should be food and money enough for him to survive.

Maybe I am finally going to start to make an impact in this world, even the smallest contributions can have the greatest of positive consequences.

After a time, Raina returns, dressed in somewhat traveling outfit and a pack slung over her shoulder. "You mentioned a destination. I admit, I'm not sure where to go. They usually just ship it to wherever and hope the sales are good. Do you have any suggestions?"

[adris]

Adris thinks about it for a second, but only for a moment because he already had an idea where they may be sending him if they had a destination. He rises to his feet and points towards the North.

"Well, my best guess for sales would be Ilyamen, it is a very large city and elementals of all walks of life gather there. I am sure there are many who have never tasted the fruits of mother Earth who would love to try what we have with us. The only dangerous part that I forsee too is a small walk through the Northern border of the Beastlands."

He turned to her and waited for her reply to see if the idea was good with her, if so he would set out with her to the city.

"And I nearly forgot... if you need help with the shipment itself, such as carrying or even sales when you get to the city, just give me a shout."

[Kender Bard]

Raina puts her chin in her palm as she thinks. "Are the Beastlands terribly dangerous?"

[adris]

Adris gave her a smile from the side of his lip... Followed by a small chuckle thinking of the answer to her question... He then silenced up fast fearing he might alienate her, he wasn't laughing at her question, it was just that for the first time he actually thought of the answer to that.

"I apologize for laughing, it is just I have never had to answer before and now that I think about it it seems kinda humerous. The simple answer is, it depends on who you run into. There are three notable tribes, two of which are rather wild if you cross into there borders. I don't forsee any major problems because it will not be the first time I have walked this particular path, but I swear to you I will be on alert at all times."

He hoped his response had set her at ease, about many subjects but at this point he just wanted her to trust him.

[Kender Bard]

Raina frowned a little, not at him, just in a gesture of thoughtfulness before giving a little nod. "As to your concern about transport, you need not worry." Before she could go on, her father returned.
"Raina, the wagon is all ready for you," he announced. "I trust you to be home before winter."
"I will father," Raina replies solemnly, then gives her father a warm hug. "Thank you so much for letting me go."
"I have faith that Adris will take care of you," he replied softly, stroking her hair. "His reputation precedes him. Go on now, before it gets too dark out." Smiling, Raina beckons to Adris and hurries over to the neighbor farm.

[adris]

Adris bows to the man and gives a warm smile to his daughter, hoping that she will trust him with the journey. He turns in the direction that they are supposed to go and stares wistfully into the distance.

"So, shall we go then milady? I promise to do what I can to make your journey as enjoyable as possible."

He looks back to her with happiness in his eyes, he is happy to finally find direction in his life.
