[color=0072bc]"I know what you mean... The showers are indeed lacking."[/color] Hunt's previous acceptance of her proposal had put Lilly in a fantastic mood, and she stared out the window with a slight smile on her face, simply enjoying the passing scenery as they rode along. She had a feeling that this weekend would be quite nice. [center][h3][color=0072bc]Evan Carn[/color][/h3][/center] [b]"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Randgriz. Please gather your baggage and disembark from the rear of the carriage in an orderly manner."[/b] Evan was woken from his nap by the conductor walking down the aisle, making his announcements. Eugh... He rubbed his eyes and stretched before grabbing his pack and joining the rest of the squad on the way out of the carriage. Now he felt a bit better, at least. [center]***[/center] It didn't take long for the squad to form up outside while Hunt checked the station's maps for directions to their hotel. As they waited, they were greeted with passing glances from the townsfolk who were, well, not unused to seeing soldiers parading around their city, but curious about what they were doing here. Occasionally, a child walking with their parents would wave at them - a gesture that Evan and Lilly happily returned. It was nice to be in a city untouched by war. Some minor curiosity aside, there was no fear in the eyes of it's inhabitants. The front line was far enough away that with the city of Vasel retaken, the risk of an Imperial breakthrough was low enough for the civilians to continue their lives with minimal interference. It seemed that those of the squad who had not visited before would get a fairly unspoiled impression of the city. The hotel they had been directed to was not too far from the train station - only a couple blocks down the road. After Hunt pointed out the direction, Evan shielded his eyes and squinted through the bright sunlight, trying to pick it out. Sure enough, there was a fairly well kept and modest looking hotel down the street. Once they were marched to it, however, it quickly became apparent that while the stone exterior was fairly non-descriptor, the inside was down right extravagant. A glass chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating the main lobby, and the white walls were adorned with various expensive looking paintings. The sight caused Evan to whistle. [color=0072bc]"Wow... Nice place."[/color] Maybe he wouldn't stay at home after all. Unlike the mechanic, however, Lilly seemed perfectly at home here, as if not noticing that their extravagant surroundings were at all unusual for a hotel. [b]"Ahem. May I assist you?"[/b] The uniformed woman behind the reception desk, who had previously been looking at the cluster of soldiers with disdain, addressed them. Clearly common soldiers did not match her ideas of the kind of people who should be interacting with or even staying in close proximity to her hotel's esteemed clientele.
