"No real plans." He shrugged. "Need to unpack and such, came straight here. But mostly just wandering around looking for things to do."

"Well, I'll have you to tea if you'd like," she offered. "And I can offer some herbs that might be of use to you, if you're peddling at all."

"Sure." Aeron inclined his head with a kind smile. "I'd like that! Anything you could use a hand with, too? I'm happy to lend one."

"Actually." She leaned forward. "As it happens, there's a hillock troll who's taken up residence by the waterfall where I collect goblin ears. She's no bother herself--a bit bulky, that's all. But she's got hovel moss growing all over, which means the deer like to go graze on her, and that's brought a cu-sith in to graze. I'd handle it myself usually, but this one's feisty."

"Aw, shit, Madre." He snorted and scratched his chin. He'd meant moving something heavy or helping her assemble something, not hunting down a Cù-sìth. Still. "... Yeah, sure, why not?" He shrugged. "Let's get the puppy."

(Ha she's built like a quarterback; she don't need no man to lift things for her)
"I'll make it worth your while," she promised, finishing off her beer.

(hahah even quarterbacks need teammates sometimes lol)
Aeron nodded and finished his own off as well, pulling enough coins out of his purse to cover both and leaving them on the bar as he stood up. "Mhmm... shouldn't be too hard with the both of us after it... hopefully."

(She's also magic and could just animate something to move)
"Hopefully. There's the barking to account for." She rose. "Though I've got a couple spells up my sleeve that should counter the terror."

"Good... what's your plan?" He stepped towards the door.

"The deer are slowly starting to stop eating on the troll," she said, opening it and holding it for him. "I've put wards on my horse; I'm going to use him as bait. We'll wait for the cu-sith to try and get its jaws in him, at which point I'll cast a deafening charm on the both of us and we'll try and knock him out."

Aeron nodded to her and stepped through, then nodded again when he heard the rest of the plan. "Do those have to die any special way?"

"Crush its head good and hard," she replied. "But it's got a thick skull."

"Same." Aeron walked to his horse who was still tied up out front and untied her, patting her on the neck.

"But first we'll have us some tea." She clicked her tongue, and the blue cat trotted out of the stable. It leaped up expertly onto her shoulders and curled around her.
