[@cthulu]: A small note - the shirt was from Aemoten, not the guards (all Aemoten's shirts are long enough to reach her mid-thigh, and both buttonless and sleeveless), and her boots would still be her own (her boots should still be in fairly decent condition as she didn't take the brunt of the goblin attack; she simply left them to dry yesterday since they were soaked after two days of downpour). Alaine only left her a skirt and pants. (The slightly too big boots were for Aemoten.)

It is also rather cold outside - it is autumn, after all. 

(OoCly, Brand's raven is indeed a she, so Thaler was actually correct in that. She has a name, too - Beatrice -, but our characters never really heard Brand call her by her name in their vicinity...)

	As a sidenote, we have can use the tab character now. I can [i]finally[/i] make paragraphs the normal way, and don't have to fall back to dumb alternatives or some kind of arcane sorcery to make my paragraphs a bit more distinct without having to resort to double line breaks (the empty lines of which tend to disjoint the text to the point where I myself tend to have difficulties actually following the text when people use it for very short paragraphs or, say, dialogue).
	On earlier days I've simply left my posts with single line break paragraphs, lately I've taken the effort to either fetch some of the lesser-known whitespace characters that aren't typically omitted on forums and in plain HTML (en space and em space and such are typically fairly sure way - in browser-HTML you just type in the codes for them, in most other places you don't need them since other whitespaces are respected but they exist regardless, on forums you basically have to paste them ... Win also has an alt-combination (Alt+2002), but as it is, I am typically not on Windows), or - speaking of dumb solutions - blank images, background-colored underscores... But now I finally have my tab character back (as well as multiple spaces).
	Yes. Tab character working properly. On a forum. Strange things do happen...
