Fields

"Okay, Bye Mika," Rhea said and watched as Mika left, then turned to Dani. "Are you going to bed now too?"

"I think I'll go hang out in the forest for a while," she said thoughtfully, "You gonna stay here?"

"Yeah I am for a bit," Rhea smiled

"Alright, well suit yourself." she replied heading off toward the forest.

---> Enchanted forest

"Uh... Well Ill cya later Dani, Bye," Rhea called after her as she watched Danielle leave, Rhea then turned to where Jarlon had been and smiled.
"So...What were we saying?" Rhea asked

(lol he left, otherwise there would have been a problem lol)

I walked back over from the warehouse where I emptied my basket into one of the barrels. Before coming back out to the field and forest line I headed back to the house to grab my dagger that I hadn't been carring with me. As I walked up everything seemed normal.

-----------> From Rhea's house

Rhea crossed the Field to a tree at the end and sat on one of the lower branches. RHea was really mad, her skin felt like if was on fire and she was heating up.
~Rhea, Are you okay?~ Zaric asked
~Im fine~ Rhea said, faking a smiled, Zaric sat down and looked up at Rhea,
~You're lying, You're mad Rhea~ Zaric observed, ~Why?~
~I don't know, why he means so much to me. Why I care so much. But I'm just a friend to him...and not even a close friend...~ Rhea paused and shook her head, ~I'm fine~ She repeated. Zaric grumbled and curled up at the base of the tree.
~It's just annoying~ Rhea said,
~What is?~ Zaric asked
~Jarl is the village leader here and he spends all his time over there,~ Rhea sighed and jumped off the tree, ~Nevermind, eh?~
Zaric hesitated before following Rhea, and they walked aimlessley around the village.

.............Jarlon's home

I walked up to the fields ready for a long day of work. I needed to harvest the wheat field. I plucked the top off of one of the wheat stocks and cracked it with my tooth. A grin of pleasure crossed my face. I looked across the field as the morning sun was coloring it golden. I went to the warehouse and grabbed a sickle, aftre removing my shirt I began on one end of the field humming a tune.

------------Trading Post (Cahoon)------->

Ronan slowly rode up. He saw a well muscled young man tending to a field. He smiled and urged Tasha on. ~Just be careful~ She warned ~Yes mother~ he replied sarcastically "Hello there" he said with a friendly wave as he walked Tasha along the field. She eyed the wheat hungrily.

Imatari got up like a watch dog and walked out of the wheat field with her head hung low. she eyes the stranger and his horse. Spirit animal, she soon figured out. I looked up and noticed a young man riding up on a painted horse. I rested my arm on the sickle and waived with the other "Hello there." I picked up the sickley and put it over my shoulders resting my rists on it as I walked over to him

Ronan sat back and smiled as Tasha quickly stopped. He hopped off. "Hi! My name is Ronan Dex, and you would be?"

I put a bit more weight on the end of the sickle and let it slide off my shoulders. I put out a hand "Jarlon Vidon, caretaker and leader of this here village" I grinned not exposing who i really was, not yet anyway. "You must be Mika's new merchant" I smiled

"Good to meet you" He took the hand and gave it a firm handshake. "Yep, I wandered in and she asked me to stay. So...there is good contact between the two villages, I take it?" he asked with a questioning look. It would make his trading much easier if the two villages were peaceful.

"well." I said smiling "Most of us are on good terms anyway, but yes the two leaders have a friendly relationship" I grinned, not sure if he would find the hidding meaning of that or not. "So just looking around?"

Ronan smiled "Good! Makes my job easier" he saw a special look in Jarlon's eyes but didn't really connect it. "Yep! Scouting the trading possibilities so to speak. I hope there is good business here in the two towns..I would really like to stay..it seems nice here."

"Yes, it's very nice here, And I as well hope there are good traiding possabilities. I am currently working on the wheat harvest actually. The corn harvest is done for this month, and I hope to get some flour made. And I would possibly like to get some milk and what not form Cahoon" I shrugged "so where are you from?"

Ronan nodded considering the possibilities. "Sounds very good" he affirmed. "Oh..here and there." He smiled as he patted Tasha and stroked her. "We have been all over, never really settled in one place before. Grew up that way. My father was...a..merchant of sorts" he shrugged and pretended to be freeing some knots in Tasha's mane.

"I see...of sorts?" I said questionably and watched as his hands freely ran through the gypsies thick mane.

Ronan turned and smiled. "ya..depended who you talked to" he grinned. "some he was life saver..others a fair trader..others wanted his head. But everyone is entitled to their opinion now aren't they?"

"I know that feeling all to well" I rolled my eyes.

Ronan smiled slightly and coughed "Ya.." he shifted his feet nervously "He took care of his people..I have to give him that. Anyway..I inherited his wagon and decided to try my hand at the merchant business. Tasha here was a gift from the..." his eyes darted finding the right word "wise woman" he chuckled "So..where you from?"

"I'm from a small town in Germainya. My father was in the farming buisness" I said bluntly "However I didn't stay there long. I was then recruited and left home at a young age. Been traveling ever since."

"Germainiya? hmm ya my family went through there..weren't very welcomed though" he laughed "but we were used to it. Not many villages wanted gypsys nearby" he scratched the back of his neck.

----------> From Jarlons house

Rhea jumped the fences to the fields and smiled when she saw Jarlon, she paused for a second when she noticed someone new but continued with a smile on her face.
"Morning, Jarl," Rhea paused at the New guy.
"Hiya, I'm Rhea," Rhea said holding a hand out to the Gypsy to shake.

"I can't say I minded them much, they have, hidd...I mean helped me many times through my travels, Kind folk if you can understand their ways." I said shifting my feet "But I can understand why people misunderstand them, it's not an easy way of life by any means. So you plan on staying for a while huh?"
