The Wheel Weaves A Chance Meeting (Closed for Now)

[Cadence]

Kira Valyrios

The soldier came to her aid and as he dealt with the bandits, Kira slipped off her Great Serpent Ring and slipped it into her pouch.  The soldier appeared to know his way with a blade - well - two blades. Kira certainly hadn't been looking for a Warder, but she had a good feeling about this one.  She wasn't going to make a decision on the fly though.  She needed to get to know her "rescuer" better before she did.

The bandits were dealt with quickly, and to her delighted surprise, the soldier didn't chase them, instead he was more worried about the woman he had come to aid.  Kira took his offered hand and came to her feet, dusting off her dress as she could. "Nothing damaged except my pride.  I'm very fortunate you were nearby.  Please excuse me for a moment as I check on my traveling companion." she said before turning to her horse.

Melody seemed rather calm - a testament to the people who trained her, but she still tossed her head occasionally in anxiety.  Kira approached slowly, clicking her tongue as the horse got her scent and began to calm down.  She went to her saddle bag, pulled out a carrot and offered it to the horse who accepted the treat with a whinny and nuzzle of her hand.  A quick look showed the horse uninjured.  "Good girl," she said stroking the horse's nose. 

Kira turned once more to face her rescuer, he stood by silently, waiting for her to finish.  "I thank you, Sir, for your aid in my time of need.  Please tell me what I may offer you to repay your good deed?" She asked, smiling.
