Dragoncrest Cliffs look what you've done

Muses nodded, wondering what harm Ingram coud possibly do. "I haven't known him very long. Found him wandering deep in the north woods, and kept him nearby ever since. Didn't feel right to leave the boy alone; he can't have seen more than two seasons pass." She explained, hoping that Deirdre would understand. He was almost old enough to be independent, but as Muses had learned in the last six months, living alone was not easy. "His name is Ingram." She added, figuring that there would be no point in waiting to introduce the youth. In all honesty, she could not say that she knew him well, but she chalked it up to him being shy, for having been left on his own. Perhaps she too would have been jaded in his situation.

"He is waiting for me back in the northern territories, where I asked him to wait. I didn't think it would be safe for us to travel openly until I knew the area a bit better." After all, what kind of a guardian would she be if she couldn't keep him safe? "I'd like to fetch him before going to Donnelaithe, if you don't mind." She added sheepishly, although her point was likely assumed.
