[hr]
Anastasia had barely managed to take a few steps before the guards had caught up to her. They were taken aback to find her initially in a state of melancholy, her face downcast and her body language closed off. Concern was etched on their faces as they asked her what had happened, hoping to offer some form of comfort or assistance. But Anastasia simply shook her head and put on a brave smile, determined to keep up appearances.

Without missing a beat, she launched into a light-hearted conversation, determined to act as if nothing had happened. They had taken a moment to find Zarai once more and let her know she could use the carriage for the day with Ser Barrios. She also had let her know she'd be going to the tavern for a while and would catch up with her soon.

Her guards subsequently escorted her on a walk without much clue of her destination. Finally, at around 3pm, the trio had found themselves at the front of the Prince Callum tavern, to the guards' dismay.  [color=f6989d]"Anastasia. It's a little early for ...-"[/color]

[color=E77298]"Oh my gosh! Don't even worry. I appreciate the concern but I'll be fine! ... I can buy you two drinks if you want?"[/color] 

The two had simply looked at each other in disbelief.[/color]
