"Oh," Malkas replied, a bit crestfallen, "That's a shame, as you can see, Soren is a small village, so we could do with more people.  Anyways, let me give you a room."  He led Freya to the inn half of his house where Teann was manning the registration desk.

"Welcome to Soren," she greeted, as Malkas gave her the details of Freya's stay.  She had been assigned the room across the hall from where Illithor and Talila were staying.
