"Of course," Ladonna says. "It was a pleasure to meet you," she adds before she takes her leave of the woman. She leaves the gardens to check out one of the star towers, if she can.

Ladonna heads to one of the star towers and climbs to the top. It offers a nice view, but not much else.
After she descends, she passes by one of the stablehouses in the courtyard, and recognizes a familiar face tending to the horses. It is none other than Sidhanar, covered in muck, trying to lead a couple of unruly ponies into a pen.

Ladonna, curiously, walks towards the stables. "Are they giving you a hard time, or is this your normal look?: she asks in amusment.

Sidhanar is surprised at Ladonna's voice; so much so, that he slips in the muck, splattering himself further. He quickly pulls himself up to his feet, and tries to cover his face with his hood, lest anyone else see him. "Ah...so you have found me," he says in his thick, Ruaran accent. "Yes...as you can see, this is my new job now. I am no longer warden of the Sunwood. The verderer, Ser Tiral Greymane, he was nice enough to offer me this job so I wouldn't be completely destitute. It's not much, but I can be around animals, at least, and I have a bed of straw to sleep on."

"I'm sorry," Ladonna says sincerely. "It was a risk that I took, and it hurt more than just myself."

Sidhanar shrugs. "I didn't exactly try to stop you," he says. "We all make choices, and we all pay the consequences for those choices, for good or ill. It's not the first time it's happened to me. Probably won't be the last."

"Still, I do feel responsible for what has happened to you," Ladonna says. "And I do hope to make it up to you somehow. Though, you just mentioned that it has happened to you before, so I'm curious as to when. Also, how are you going to hide..erm..." she pauses as she looks around. She doesn't want to mention his condition in front of a lot of people.

"I have little choice now, but to head back out into the Sunwoods," Sidhanar says. "It's the place I'll do the least amount of damage. The only problem is, I am no longer warden. So I cannot use my cabins, and if I'm caught there, I'll be arrested for trespassing. And if it's learned what I am, I will surely be killed. But I see no other option but to take that risk."

"Is there anyway I can help?" Ladonna asks curiously. "I mean, I am a mage. There has to be something I can do."

"I am uncertain," Sidhanar answers. "I know naught of magic. And you are the first mage I've really known. If there is a way to relieve my...condition, I suppose magic would be the most likely route."

"I'm afraid I don't know much about your condition," Ladonna admits. "Only that it apparently does exist. I can try doing a little research into the matter when I have the time," she offers. "But until then, if I had the money I would try to buy a...ah damn," she says with a sigh. "I just sold my land. Well, if I can make some money, it is possible I can buy a place for you to...uh..deal with your condition on the days you need to do so."

"Really? You would do that for me, someone you barely know?" Sidhanar asks, puzzled.

"While I'm not the cause of your condition, I am the reason as to why you are going to be suffering even more than you should," Ladonna points out. "Something like that is the least I can do. The problem is, I don't have the money to do it right now."

"Nor do I," Sidhanar says. "But I appreciate the thought, nonetheless. Anyway, I best return to work, lest I lose this job, as well."

"I will leave you be," Ladonna says. She leaves him to do his work, and decides to head back to her room.
