The four travelers made it to Little Lamb Village by nightfall. Luna was asleep in Romulus' arms after she began to fidget on the horse. Knowing a tantrum when he saw one, Romulus deposited his sister on the ground, so that she could dispel any excess energy. Sure enough, Luna ran about them and the horse until she started to droop tiredly. Romulus picked her up then and carried her the rest of the way.

The minute they entered the village a few villagers met them. The villagers watched Romulus closely, but a woman tittered the moment she caught sight of Luna. "Oh, dear. Has she fallen ill?"

"No, ma'am. She's just exhausted. The journey is taxing on a child and we seek a place to rest for the night before beginning once more in the morning. Do ya have an inn still open?" Romulus arched an eyebrow at Kai's word choice. Remus moved closer to his twin when he spotted a few of the men glaring at Romulus. Touching Romulus' shoulder, he leaned into whisper,

"Be careful, Rom. Somethin' about ya is settin' them on edge. I think dat because ya have Luna, they won't try and question ya." Romulus nodded.

"I know, Remus, but right now Luna needs sleep." He raised his voice to have the villagers' attention on him. "My sister needs to sleep in a bed. She's sore from the ride and the walk and I know for a certainty that she is not sleeping well enough in my arms. Please, ma'am?" The woman nodded and turned to her companions.

"These children need somewhere warm to sleep and a hot meal in their stomachs. Shame on you for keeping them from what they deserve." Immediately the men looked sheepish and lead the way to what Romulus presumed was an inn.
