"Alright then," Thessalia agreed as a small bag materialised in her hand; only to be handed over to the blacksmith before her. A slightly sour look on her voice as she did so, she still needed her armour and weapon repaired if she wanted to head back out later after all - even if she never liked the cost associated with it. With her gear back in top condition, she thanked the blacksmith for his work before turning to head off in direction of the local inn - the second destination she had in mind for her break from training. As Thessalia set off, she noticed an occasional flash of blue in the town plaza, not far from her locality of choice - it would appear that others preferred to save on time walking rather than on col for the teleport crystals; something she wasn't always in ample supply of with her constant drain due to healing potions, crystals and repairs - without even accounting for the occasional item upgrade. Bringing her inventory up for a moment, an inaudible sigh came over Thessalia's lips - it would be a while before she'd be able to improve her sword again, seeing a lack of prerequisite materials in order to do so.

Closing her inventory again, Thessalia stepped into the inn before looking about - a few vaguely familiar faces showed that she wasn't the only one of the frontliners taking a break here. However, her favourite table - located both near the entrance and next to a window - was already occupied. With that one out of the question, she instead headed for the nearest unoccupied one; a larger table that seemed more suited for a small group than a single occupant. Either way, however, she sat herself down on the nearest chair thereof, leaning against the backrest and resting one hand on the table whilst the other slowly tapped her chin; a serious expression coming over her face as she did - no doubt a serious question being pondered by her. At least, that was what it looked like - little would an onlooker guess that Thessalia was actually just debating which meal she was going to go with today. She, on the other hand, was paying little attention to who might be entering the inn - as doing so might have revealed a few more faces she could have recognised.
