Lake Rodney Life was so much better with you there

Alaric felt bad. She was clearly distressed and he wasn't helping, but what was he supposed to do. He didn't know what she was talking about. A road. Never heard of it. No idea what it was. Perhaps there was something she knew further somewhere that he hadn't seen, but he had no idea.

Alaric wrinkled his muzzle. But why wouldn't you want to take care of yourself? Get your own food, make your own shelter? 

This she dog made no sense to him. When you could do all that yourself. Why let someone take care of you. Especially someone like well the things with two legs that hurt and yelled. 

He shook his head, then he hesitated. One may know at least of what it is. Wise woman in the mountain. Moonwoman of Moonglow. She may have heard tell of one. She is from far away. I can take you.
