[color=00a99d]"Mhm."[/color]
She was nodding and writing down everything the tavern owner said. [color=00a99d]"And what did I do?"[/color]

The innkeeper's jaw dropped. Was she interrogating him? Trying to keep his mouth shut, maybe?

[color=#00B300]"Uh... I'm not sure what you mean."[/color]
[color=00a99d]"Exactly what I asked. What exactly did I do?"[/color]

The innkeeper was flabbergasted. His tavern was trashed, the remaining Red Banners were probably going to murder him in a week, and here he was talking to some kind of crazy monster who could kill people with a glance. He was sweating bullets, and he couldn't see any way out of it, so he tried to keep her as happy as he could.

[color=#00B300]"Well... erm... You came in just before the lizard and the sword lady, and stood around for a few seconds before joining the fight."[/color]
She tilted her head and tapped her foot a bit, scribbling more on her journal scroll. [color=#00a99d]"And?"[/color]

The innkeeper was squirming uncomfortably and shifting back and forth as if he were about to run away. [color=#00B300]"...And you attacked some guys who were beating up on one of my regulars. Then you sat and... ate lunch. In the middle of the fight. Listen, I [i]really[/i] have to get back to work."[/color]

He was leaving something out, she felt, but he should probably take a rest anyway. She was sure she'd remember to come back and ask for the rest later. Maybe. ...actually, she was lying to herself there, but she felt bad for the guy. She nodded. [color=#00a99d]"Alright, that's enough. You can go back to your work. Erm... Sorry about the mess. I cleaned up what I could, right? Well, whatever."[/color]

The innkeeper rushed back behind his bar and started putting the unbroken bottles back on the shelf fervently, trying to get his mind off the day's carnage. Brunhilde tossed a gold coin marked with the royal crest of Sorvir to the innkeeper to pay for whatever damage she caused, then approached the man the innkeeper mentioned, who was finally waking up. He sounded like he at least knew his way around the town, if nothing else, and he'd probably need some help with... Something. She wasn't sure what.

[color=#00a99d]"Hey. You okay? You seem a little banged up."[/color]
