Malkas smiled upon hearing Illithor mention his profession, and turned to Emtardas, "I think one of the triplets fishes, but only for fun; we don't have a professional angler in the village."  Turning back to Talila, "I apologize if I made it sound like Soren only accepted people with useful skills, that wasn't my intent.  But as mayor, I have to keep track of these things.  Even if refugees came seeking shelter, Soren would welcome them, in fact, pretty much everyone here is a refugee in their own way.  Well then, Please come with me, I can show you to the inn and have my wife prepare a room for you three.  Of course Ryul, if you'd like to go with Emtardas to see the general store first and sell your wares, feel free to do so."

Malkas and Emtardas began heading back towards the village.

While Reas liked Elizabeth, ze still kept up a stoic, emotionless front around her.  Ze was only really ever mischievous to Emtardas, to everyone she was respectful and to the point, though there would be moments where Reas' affection would shine through to Elizabeth.  "If you're in need of foreign herbs, the new merchant has arrived," Reas said plainly.  Ze looked around the building; no matter how many times ze looked at it, ze appreciated the tidiness of the medicine cabinets and the overall cleanliness of a house of healing.  But this one didn't feel sterile and cold, it was warm and welcoming.  Ze didn't like labs where unethical experiments were performed.
