The local tavern, for supplies and maybe a travelling companion

After giving her loving husband a parting kiss, Candy began her adventure, which started by walking down their street toward the town tavern, The Cock's Pride. The swinging sign over the door showed a brightly painted rooster in the midst of a loud morning crow. Though the village was not too large, it was close to the capital, so the tavern was a popular resting spot for travelers headed to and from the larger city. Andy had visited several times trying to recruit an adventurer to look for AJ with no luck.

As she strode proudly down the unpaved street, the blonde could feel the eyes of her neighbors on her and knew that everyone of them wished her good luck on her journey to find her son. A group of boys had even begun following her, hooting and cheering her name as she progressed toward the tavern.

It didn't occur to her that many of the gazes that followed her every step were due to the fact that her new skimpy armor left most of her bouncing ass and tits exposed.

With a wide, proud grin on her pink lips, Candy entered the Cock's Pride and approached the tavern owner, Tarley, at the bar.

The owner was a middle-aged man, with his grey hair receding and his paunch expanding more each year. As he saw the gorgeous blonde enter the tavern, he did his best to suck in his gut and brushed down his hair with his hand, trying to look his best for Candy. The sight of the buxom MILF in her shiny chainmail bikini was enough to stir the loins of even an old man, and Tarley was glad that he had the bar hiding his lower half as she reached the countertop.

"Good morning, Tarley," she said as she leaned slightly over the bartop and gave the man a warm smile. The motion inadvertently gave the tavern owner an even closer look at Candy's F-cup cleavage as many of the eyes behind her were glued to her barely covered backside as it pushed out against her loincloth. "Today's the big day! Did you have my supplies ready for me?"

"Sure I do, Mrs. Hart," Tarley said as he bent down behind counter for her bag, pausing long enough to smile back at Candy. "And I have to say, that new armor of yours is quite striking! Really catches the eye!"

As he produced a bag of rations and supplies for Candy from behind the counter, she beamed at his compliment, giggling softly. "Thanks! One of Andy's blacksmiths had it specially altered for me! Even added in the pink and gold tinge on the links, see?" She leaned in even closer so the barkeep could get a better look at her armor, practically pushing her juicy cleavage in his face.

Tarley felt his cock surge in his pants after getting such an eyeful, and stuttered out a response. "V-very nice," he said with a nervous grin, making sure not to be to forward with his compliment. "Now all you need is a real steed and you'll be a right proper adventurer!"

Candy pulled back with a small frown. "I was hoping to find one before I set out, but I'm sure it won't take long to find someone with a mount I could borrow, once I start doing good deeds on my quest! I mean, that's part of the whole adventuring job isn't it? Doing good deeds and then getting rewarded!"

"I suppose so," Tarley said with a nod, hoping that the blonde was right. He knew that she wasn't the brightest candle but had good heart, (along with all her other lovely body parts,) and hopefully that would be enough to help her with her success. "Do you even know how far you have to go? Where AJ might have ended up?"

Candy patted a pouch on her belt with a nod, "I have all his letters, so I'm planning to follow his steps until I reach the last place he sent a letter from. It's quite a ways from here, further than I've ever been before, but if AJ could make it, than I know that I can too!" She gave her plump pink lip a thoughtful nibble, then added, "Though it would be helpful if I knew someone more familiar with the way..."

"Ahem," said a voice from a close by table. "If you're in need of a travelling companion, Miss, then I might just be able to help you out."
