Little Goat Mountain Out of the cage

he seemed content with her choice of destination, and she was satisfied. ksura suggested they could move a little at a time. it was an idea, possibly doable, though she knew that if they were to risk moving with just the two of them as guardians, she needed to find a balance for the perfect timing. when the children were strong enough to handle the travel, but before the snow started falling and made movement much more difficult. she just gave him a nod for now. 

he also shared that he didn't know anyone. but he could find someone. okay, mira replied plainly. as long as they can look after children. they can't be a danger to my kids, no matter what. a serious tone made it clear that this was important to her. you can offer them whatever tempts them... food, or a place in our next home, she decided. if she didn't like them in the end, she could always get rid of them. 

one is good, two is better. whoever you find, bring to me, so i may ensure they are fit for the job. but he had not failed her thus far; to some degree she trusted his judgement. it was strangers who could not be trusted whatsoever. 

if he couldn't find anyone in the next couple weeks, she thought, they ought to just try the journey on their own. but she would save this decision for once that time was closer- she didn't want to discourage his mission, and hoped it would be a success.
