The pack hefted their bags and began to walk, their shoes clonking against the wooden floor of the inn. Fendros and Janius said one last goodbye as they walked through the door. Sabine was the last one out and paused at the door to look back. Though she still had tears down her face, her mouth formed a vibrant smile. Ariel returned the smile and raised her hand in a wave. Sabine continued and the door closed.

There were a few moments where Ariel stood and stared at the door, but she eventually turned away and found a seat. She was happy and sad at the same time. Her journey to her new life was well and truly over. She looked at the bracelet again, it was a cheap memento, poorly built. But to her it now meant a lot more. Taking a deep breath, she decided not to tarry; she had many orders to fill and with tomorrow night being booked, she would have to work extra hard. [i]Wait, tomorrow night...[/i] Ariel clutched her head in both hands as a shocked expression swept over her face, "I need something to wear!" She breathed, before bolting upright and running out of the door, forgetting to even say hello to Rukeewei. If she was lucky, Neer might not have shut her shop yet.

The pack proceeded to the gate they arrived through. Things weren't quite as vibrant as they were when they arrived. Many people on ladders were carefully taking down the decorations for the festival. People were going back to their casual lives.

"So that's Thorn. Quite a nice city." Janius remarked.

"And that's Ariel, sad to say goodbye," Fendros added, before turning to Meesei who was in the lead. "And hello again to the wilds. Will we be hunting tonight, Meesei, or just covering distance?"
