Alia's eyes widened slightly at the sight of Edric's scar. The mention of these "Inquisitors" and the "Order" struck a familiar bell in Alia's mind, recognizing them as people to be avoided at just about any cost. From what she learned, they were perilous for magicians and spellcasters, but fortunately for them, they didn't seem to be around this area. 

When Edric was done talking, Alia was silent for a time. Not much could really be said at a time like that. Then Edric mentioned that he didn't know her name. "[color=f7976a]Oh, did I not mention it?[/color]" Alia asked in response. "[color=f7976a]My name is Alia. Alia Flori. Maybe it's a little late to say this, but nice to meet you.[/color]" Alia then looked toward the ceiling, and continued with the subject after a brief moment. "[color=f7976a]I've never had any encounters with these 'Inquisitors' before, so I can't say much about them. Still, I'm sure you did your best under the circumstances. I don't think I could last 1 hour against them even as I am now, never mind three.[/color]" Alia was silent after that, not really knowing what to say.

Fortunately, things seemed to be getting a little more lively within the tavern, if the extra voices were anything to judge by. "[color=f7976a]Well, the bedrooms are accessible now. Let's find you a proper place to rest,[/color]" Alia suggested, getting up from her chair and walking into the hallway, entering the first room on the right. The room looked quite bland, but surprisingly nice compared to how the rest of the tavern looked. One thing that really stood out to Alia was the candle in the room. Not only was it already lit, the flame was blue. Alia decided to move on from the candle, however, and opened the drawer on the nightstand, finding a piece of an emerald and a number of silver coins. Taking the gem and a few of the coins, Alia shut the drawer and said, "[color=f7976a]Well, here we are,[/color]" as she looked back at the entrance to the room, expecting to find Edric nearby.
