A real one. He glanced down at Jaden as they moved along, ears flicking in concern. They'll be able to do more for him than any northern healer could.
Their first stop was to be the Stables, for a second horse. They had a long journey ahead, possibly even months, but Matteo knew enough now from Demi's journals to keep Jaden alive until then. With luck, they'd make it there before the snow.
You'll take one of Giuseppe's mares. They'll take to you better. He'd taken the pack's mare, though he felt bad for doing so. We'll travel during the day for now and bed at night. I have plenty of furs and leathers. We'll be fine. He also knew how to hunt pretty well. And trading... he'd keep them fit for travel, at the very least.
