In the lingering gloom past nightfall, the twin sisters sat in near silence, exchanging only a few more words on the trip. They were unfamiliar with the area, and if they had been, they would have wanted to stop to "Meet the girl!", if they had only known they had just ridden right past where she was living. Thankfully, nobody told them.

Instead, the group, and the wagon pulling them, trudged on through the night, and over a bridge that had clearly been subjected to somebody's nature magic at some point.  They were familiar enough with that kind of work-- it had the hallmarks of either their dad or their brother's methods all over it-- but they did not know for sure who it was who would have done it.

There wasn't enough room in the wagon for the two of them, and the kindly old man, to sleep at the same time (unless they slept on top of him, and they "Didn't know him well enough for that yet" (ahem), forcing them to stay awake until the caravan stopped for the night. After a short but vigorous game of "Thumb-war", Lily climbed down from the wagon (which lurched and creaked with the sudden reduction in weight), while Rose roused the kindly old man.

"[color=f7941d]Hey 'dere fella-- Yas gotta git up fer a bit-- We gotta git da tent out from under ya.[/color]"

"[color=ed145b]Asides-- Wouldn' ya rather sleep [b][u]in[/u][/b] da tent no-hows? Prolly warmer.[/color]" chimed Lily from beside the wagon, ready to have heavy goods handed down from her sister.

Rose chuckled, then turned her attention to the person that had been driving the wagon.

"[color=f7941d]D'ya see at bridge back 'ere? Sumbuddy try ta wreck it er summat?[/color]"
Undeterred by the distance, Lily chimed in: "[color=ed145b]Were obvious done by sumbuddy wit' magic in min'[/color]"
"[color=f7941d]--An's were min'ful doin' it tuh. Only folks we knowed as work like 'at, be our brudders an' our pa.[/color]"
"[color=ed145b]Ifn' eres folks like at 'roun', be min'ful not tuh be messin' with no trees, ya'hear?[/color]"
"[color=f7941d]No sheeit. 'Specially dey willin' ta fuck o'er a bridge like 'at.[/color]"
