The next day, the three of them buried Julius. It was a quiet ordeal, but in the end Coran was happy he had found his final resting place right where he grew up. They stayed with Arya for a while, almost two weeks. At the end of those two weeks, Coran found that they wanted to continue the way of living they'd had with Julius, and announced that they would be doing so. Arya helped them pack, and Baize said he would travel with them. The two of them stood by the old horse and cart Coran had so many memories with.

"She's a really strong girl, y'know. Kind of tired though." Coran nodded.

"I know... Do you... D-do you think we should l-leave her with my m-mom?" Baize thought for a moment.

"She said she didn't mind the cold last month. What do you say, girl?" Coran waited for Baize to translate. "She says she'd like to stay here. Her life of traveling was fun, but she's ready to settle down. She's glad to have met you and the old man." Coran smiled and stepped closer to the horse, hugging her around the neck.

"I l-love you, old girl. I h-hope you enjoy your n-new life with m-mother."

They informed Arya of their decision to leave the horse with her, and the two were on their way.
