(Mystera's PoV)
The stars were just starting to show in the sky when we entered Booty Bay. We headed for the inn, the brusiers being the only ones out at the moment. We dismounted, and I handed the reins over the the stablemaster, along with instructions on Lulu's care. Salix simple spoke a few words, and her demon horse vanished. She gave me a tired grin and said, "Its cheaper not having to pay for a stall!" I childishly stuck my tongue out at her,at which she started to laugh, causing me to laugh as well.
We were still giggling as we walked into the inn. However, when everyone turned to look at us, we stopped. Salix shied away from the crowded area and quickly payed for a room. I let out a small snort and moved towards the innkeeper, getting my own room for the night. I turned to Salix and asked, "You want to meet me down here for some food before retiring for the evening?" She looked around the crowded room, and than back at me. She was hesitant about answering so I asked, "Are you scared to be around all of these people?" Her eyes widen and she took a deep breath, then whispered "Yes, I get really nervous around so many people." I smiled at this and nodded, "No problem, I am like that too. I will have the food sent up to my room. You can join me there." I gave her my room number and turned back to the innkeeper giving him some extra money, to have some food sent to my room.
Once I reached my room, I removed my armor, setting it down by the bed. I had asked for a bowl of water to bring with me, which I used to clean the blood from my body. With the remaining water, I went about cleaning my armor, until a knock sounded form my door. "Who is it?" I yelled. "Your food." came the loud, but calm voice. I got up and opened the door. The goblin pushed his way into the room and set the food down on the table, then left. Salix had just reached my door when the goblin was walking out, and I saw her there, so I waved her in. "Hey there! You ready to eat?" She nodded and sat down next to me, dishing up some food. We ate in silence, neither of us seemingly up for talking while we ate.

'Damn that was a long ride. All I want now is to wash up and get some food.' I noticed Mystera looked just as tired as I felt. When we got to the inn, I listened to Mystera telling the stablemaster to give Lulu a bath and an extra helping of food. I gave her a tired smile as I sent my felsteed away, "It's cheaper not have to pay for a stall!" She stuck her tongue at me. I couldn't help but start laughing at her causing her to laugh as well. As we entered the inn, it was like everyone just stopped talking and stared at us. Having everyone suddenly paying attention to Mystera and myself was unnerving. I quickly headed for the innkeeper, the sooner I can get a room the sooner I can get away from everyone. I heard Mystera sigh in irration, I wasn't sure if it was because of me or all the attention. After we had spoken, I quickly left for my room. At least I wouldn't have to eat around so many people.
When I got to my room I checked to see if there was water to wash with. Finding there was, I stripped from my clothes. I used a small Immolate spell to heat the water, that I then used to clean off the dirt and sweat from my body. I then got dressed in fresh clothes that I had stored in one of my bags. I was just reaching for my door when I heard someone yell out in a calm voice, something about food. 'I hope that's the food Mystera ordered.' I thought as I opened my door. I left my room, making sure I locked the door and headed for Mystera's room. I was just going to knock when the door opened and a goblin came out. Mystera simply waved at me so I entered her room. When I was through the door, I closed it behind me. As I approached her, she asked if I was ready to eat, I nodded vigorously. Hell, I was straving enough to eat just about anything and everything. I quickly helped myself to the food, and happly chewed away. She didnt seem inclined to talk any more than I was. That was fine since I was just as happy to remain silent for now.
