Johan smiled warmly at the others as they boarded the wagon. The woman with wings was interesting, to say the least. And then there was the woman who had the complexion and look of a porcelain doll! She would certainly be someone to speak with, permitting she was willing to answer Johan's likely-nonstop slew of questions. The woman with the hand-dragon seemed pleasant, as did the others that were arriving. Finally, the last arrival appeared, and stepped to the wagon. A large man, visibly armed, with luggage in the form of a worn duffel bag. When he took his place quietly at the end of the wagon, it began to lurch forward, and they were on their way.

Arriving into the small village where the investigation was set to take place, they were greated warmly as they disembarked by the Mayor. Carefully, stepping from the wagon, luggage in one hand, and his cane in the other, Johan greeted the mayor in return.

[color=khaki]"I'm sure we're all greatly appreciative, Mayor. We'll be sure to begin the investigation as soon as possible."[/color] He stated curtly, yet politely. Stepping with his trademark limp, Johan carefully walked into the inn, choosing the first room that had a desk or table he could use for writing. After ensuring his luggage was carefully stored away, he made his way to the dining area for a quick meal.

Taking a place at one of the tables, Johan carefully gestured with one hand towards, Lian, the woman he had seen with the hand-dragon earlier.

[color=khaki]"Please, come join me ma'am. An old man like myself can use all the dining company he can get, and I'm sure you'll make a fine conversation partner."[/color]
