'Hildulf sent you to aid me? Curious... You see, all of my goods were sold to a nobleman in the Stonedeans earlier today, and even now they make their journey there, so I have naught for you to do here. I believe the route safe, but if Hildulf thinks it so important perhaps you can guard my stock in its travels.
