Valen had thoughts about the village before seeing it, but those expectations melted away when he was met with it's appearance. The sight of people with cat ears was... new, maybe a bit off, but nevertheless a good sign. In his mindset, the weirder the town, the more likely he'll find what he's looking for. Valen continued into the village, glancing around his surroundings in slight confusion. His eyes scanned around the buildings for anything like a tavern. While looking however, Valen's vision once again zapped out. He stopped, stabbed his sword into the ground, and with a growl of annoyance began to enchant himself. When his vision came to, he retrieved his weapon and continued his trek around the village.
