Taerle nods, "I've not done much with pup-raising in years. Not since Rethra passed." He looks about a little sadly. Rethra had been his favorite companion through the years. She was a mut, to be sure, but a beautiful dog no less. She'd been loyal and fierce, everything a woodsman desired. "I do know some human breeders locally. I'll see what I can do before you leave. It won't come cheap, if you're looking for a well-bred dog. Maybe 200 gold...at least. Can you afford that, my boy?"

Kesson nods to his uncle, "Aye I can afford that and more if needed. I would rather pay more to get the finest pup of the litter." His eyes go soft as he continues, “I remember Rethra, she was a special dog that one. If I can get myself a dog half as good as that it would suffice.”
Kesson grabs his bowl and helps himself to another helping of venison stew, “Tastes as good as I remember, maybe even better.” The elf returns to his seat.
“I appreciate all of you help uncle Taerle, father sends his love, they fair well and asked if I saw you to tell you that a visit now and then wouldn’t hurt.” He smirks and looks around, “I know you have a nice life here and its hard to leave.”

"Don't be poking fun at my lifestyle here. There are plenty of rich men in Lethtar that need guides through the forest. I get paid well, I get to hunt and camp...and at the end of most days I have a warm bed and good meals. I'm old, Kesson. And your father's even older. You need to look out for them. They take on the whole damned world sometimes, and the people they keep safe don't even know about it. I don't wager you'll be seeing them anytime soon," Taerle tells Kesson, "But the next time you do...tell them a visit here wouldn't be all that bad either. It's time for your father to be passing the torch. I'm working hard, and I could help them get settled here. They don't even have to be inside the city walls. I'll help them setup outside near the forest. Your mother can keep a garden. Your father can hunt. There's ample work for your brother in the city...work he'd probably enjoy. Guarding and such. And your sister," he smiles, "God knows she can't be happy in the forest. Anyway...there's not much sense in Wood Elves settling in Sundrah any longer. They just wouldn't fit in. And I'd like to see my brother from time to time..." His uncle stops speaking for a moment. It was clear to Kesson that his uncle had not intended to go off on that particular tangent. The old Elf was lonely. He wanted his family close by.
"Anyway...tell 'em to think about it. If you see them soon," he clears his throat, "Alright...give me your gold and I'll work on getting you a worthwhile dog. Go and see to what you must while you're here. You get to be a hero for a day...enjoy it while it lasts. The world too quickly forgets its heroes."

Kesson moves to the corner and digs about his pack until he finds his coin purse, "I'll give you 400 gold just incase you be needing more. I don't want you settling because you didn't have enough." he hands his uncle the coin and grasps the old mans hand after he takes it, "I will take your message to father, I must admint I agree with you, It is time for him to settle down and here is as fine a place as any." he lets his uncles had go and adds, "I wan't poking fun for the record. Now I will go and finish my business in the morning and return for the pup." Kesson gathers his things and makes his way to the spare room off the kitchen. He pokes his head out of the doorway,"And don't be drinking too much wine you need a good head when your picking my dog."

Taerle just laughs at Kesson as the last comment flies his way. "You'll have a new new mut tomorrow," he laughs again, "Don't tell the others...but I always liked you best."
(((You're basically done here as well. Just got Serol left to go. Take an extra 200 XP for the RP here. I'll send you the stats for the dog he finds you soon.)))
