Ning thought for a bit. "Would you give me a moment to converse with my sister?" he asked. "We will decide whether to take you with us or not."
The woman nodded. "Of course, please decide."
"Thank you," Ning said and went back to the cart with Shara.
'What are we doing?' Shara asked. 'Are we going to let her come with us?'
'I don't want to, but the truth is we need more people with us,' Ning said. 'Just two people on the road, one a girl and another a man without a left arm is too easily noticeable. If we add her, that's a group of 3.'
Shara thought for a moment and nodded. 'If you say so. That does sound good and all.'
'And of course, she will only be with us for the day,' Ning said.
'What if she is a bandit though?' Shara asked. 'Surely we're not going to go right into a trap, are we?'
'Hopefully not,' Ning said. 'I will try to ask people on the way if we're on the right track.'
Shara nodded. 'That should be doable then.'
