What was Liland to do? Rougaru would be back for which ever choice Liland had made if he didn't just send them to Rougaru within the next week or so. His nostrils flare as he paces the edge of the ridge. He is sure of his footing knowing one wrong foot fall and he would tumble to his death. He knew his call would get to her, but that he would not hear her call back. So he waited. When she arrived he let her come o him and he touched her back.

Im afraid this isn't a good social call Sabela. I have a choice I need to make and soon. A choice that will kill me in the end. I need to send either Rayna or a mare to Rougaru in a week or so time. It is his demand and as it were there isn't a way I can avoid it as I must wait to challenge for hte bay till I am fully healedHe said eyeing her. He wished he could hear what she had to think about it. Now he could be an ass and Send monster as the donation, but then he'd loose his leverage. However; perhaps loosing his leverage would be better then loosing Rayna or one of his mares. It could also just piss Rougaru off in the end or that could of been Rougaru's whole plan.
