[center][color=92278f]Vivian[/color][/center] It seemed like hours ago that the wagon started moving again and as soon as sight of the village came to view she immediately put back on her necklace. Right as soon as it clicked into place her dark ebony appearance went back to the white skin of the surface elf they saw before. She was not going to take any chances at all. Not here.... not in this far off village. She was able to peer out of the wagon and gave a nod to one of the guards. The tiny village was empty almost void of life except for patrolmen. It was night though so that would count towards the emptiness. The guards where armed rather well too. They looked as if they could send back a attack if they had to. She knew her kin would not wait long before trying again. Even now she knew that it was greatly possible. Then again,... her brethren could already be here. Waiting and watching for the best time to attack. It weighed heavily on her mind. Until she spotted the inn they were going to stay the night in. The rooms were not too pricey and the stable cost wasn't too steep. Surely they could put in together for that. With that she paid her way into one of the rooms. Two gold pieces was easily parted with for some rest. She surely needed to. The spells she used dont come cheap after all. She didn't expect to share a room but then again if someone did accompany her she wouldn't complain. She wondered up the stairs to her room and entered it rather quickly. She felt she would take her meal private. The room itself wasn't too large but it was good enough for her. It did not take long before her heard a knock at her door. She was a little nervous and recalled about the complimentary meal. She wasn't to sure about any of it. Some of it was still all too foreign for her. Well not the goat cheese. They had acquired it time to time in the underdark. The bread was different though as well as some of the fruits. When she opened the door she found one of the servers stand there with her meal. She could eat it down below like some of the others but she didn't feel to comfortable with so many eyes watching her. What she didn't expect was Alexander standing beside her with Fordes. [color=00aeef]"Seeing as your people are after you, and only you. You are the only one here who is in the most danger. I decided that it might be best if Fordes stays with you tonight."[/color] He said. Before she could dispute or say anything he left with the dire wolf entering and picking a spot in the darkest corner. She sighed and shrugged as she watched the server place the tray on a table. It all looked rather appetizing to be honest. She poked at the bread and raised a brow on how it even felt different from most bread she had eaten. She sat herself down and looked to the window and outside. Tomorrow they can offically start the quest and enter the cursed temple. What got her nervous about it was that others were investigating it as well. That there were also Gnolls around checking the temple out as well. Where these the same Gnolls that attacked them. If so,... does that mean her kin have a interest in it as well? As soon as the door closed behind the servant girl Vivian once more removed the necklace. Her drow features coming back into place. Soon,... once she got a name for herself and a reputation she would not have to hide anymore. Hopefully. She picked up one of the exotic fruits of the locals and looked it. It was small and green with a weird fuzzy like surface. Maybe Catarina would join her and tell her what this stuff is, but the warrior couldn't always be with her for answers. She simply just bit into it and squinted at its sour taste followed after a sweet flavor. The skin itself was sour but the fruity meat below was what was sweet. [color=00aeef]Alexander[/color] After paying for his room and giving Vivian some company with the help of Fordes. He was glad the inn keeper let him bring the dire wolf in with him. I guess these people aren't as edgy as those in Saphire that or the could read him like a book and see that Fordes wouldn't attack unless told to or threatened. He decided to head back to the lobby rather then stay in his room. He wanted to taste some of the local's stock. He wanted to try something new. Once he returned he looked to the bar table and moved to sit on a stool. What he saw was your assortment of alchoholic beverages as well as a few other things. He saw something with a white silk like color and pointed at it. [color=00aeef]"What is that?"[/color]He asked. [color=fff79a]"That sir is coconut water"[/color] The keep answered. Alex was a little hesitant into going forward with his plan to try it but the shrugged tossing down a few silvers. The keep poured him a glass and the ex soldier took a sniff of it. It was most certainly different alright. He pressed it to his lips and then took a drink of it. Not a whole lot of it just enough to get the flavor in. It wasn't the best thing he had but it wasn't the worse either. He wondered if any of the others were down here as well. As he wondered this he noticed his reflection in a mirror like surface on the bar's back wall. He saw the handiwork of Elleonora and her healing abilities. It still left them in scars but they were not too brutal like they would have been if left to heal alone. He smirked as he kept moving his head. [color=00aeef]"I think the scars make me a little bit more dashing."[/color] Or at least more serious. Possibly even more intimidating.
