Alexia walked back inside after a bit. SHe headed for her room. The thoughts were still on her mind, but maybe they would find a solution soon. She sat down on her bed. She looked around her room.

Furattā sniffled and curled up in a corner, becoming more panicked as she sat there. She felt like the walls were closing in on her. She should've stayed in the forest. That's where she belonged. And there were no walls in the forest. Nothing to keep her trapped really. Furattā started crying softly.

She smiled at Henry. "Don't worry about it. It's not your fault." She said, resting a hand on his shoulder. "How else do you think that I got this fabulous coat?" She said, tryingnto lighten the mood.

Hexana looked up at Gavin when he felt her forehead and then to the wall slit, nodding. "Yes... I suppose so... which means fall is right around the corner... I feel so sorry for the peasants... out in the cold." She said, her voice shakey. "What should we do?" She asked Gavin, knowing Ajax had no solutions of his own. "With the oracles saying that this will be yhe coldest winter in the last two hundred years..." she said softly.

Henry opened his eyes and looked at her. He smiled at her. "I guess that's a perk," he said then looked up at the sky. "It's getting pretty cloudy," he stated and sat up. He hoped it wasn't going to start raining. He didn't like rain. It made his job harder.

She pouted. "Ugh.... rain again... why must it always be rain? You can never do anything in the rain! I hope its warm rain at least so that I can get to sleep tonight." She said, pulling on her cloak.

Gavin pursed his lips thoughtfully, responding, "Well... the primary trade of Duart, and the rest of the North for that matter, is sheep's wool... Assuming the other Lairds can be convinced to give up part of the harvest, perhaps a few less of them need freeze."

Alexia got out of her bed and walked around her room. She was somewhat tired, but she was distracted. There were so many thoughts on her mind. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and tried to clear her mind. SHe didn't want to think of that stuff any longer. She wanted to find a solution, but it was always hard.

Henry looked at Audy. He blinked and thought for a moment before speaking. "If you would like, you can sleep at my house tonight," he suggested. He sat up and continued to look at her. Henry adjusted his light armor then looked back at Audy.

Furattā closed her eyes and laid down. She stayed curled up. Maybe when she woke up it would all be okay. This must be just a wild dream, right? Furattā grabbed her bunny toy and held it close to her chest. Furattā slowly fell asleep in the corner of the cell.

Hexana nodded. "That is a solution... but their wool is so expensive and can't afford to hand over any of our livestock for risk of a lack of food ourselves... and we could trade horses but our breeds wouldn't survove in the harsh climate." She said, her brow furrowing as she thought.

Audy blinked once, looking at Henry. "But wouldn't you get in trouble?" She asked, pulling her hod from her head as she looked up at him.

"I don't live where the other guards do. I have a small house in the village near the castle," Henry told her. He looked down and pointed at a small, run-down looking house. "That one," he told her. "It's not much, but there's no leaks in the roof, so it's good enough."

Furattā woke up rather quickly. She couldn't sleep, and she wasn't home. She hugged her bunny closer to her. "I don't forgive you, it's still your fault," she told it.
