As Noddy continued thinking and muttering things, Harol noticed Freya being awfully quiet. Well, she seemed to be cautious, and she was right. Even if Noddy was not the threat here and that was for certain, someone or something else could pop in unannounced and then it would certainly help to have somebody ready to fight... Although Harol himself knew he could not cast his spells within the village. That would cause way too much collateral damage. Sometimes it annoyed him he could not cast a simple ball of fire or something, but he was of House Arkdal. It was how he was trained. Maybe at Clasz they could teach him more simple tricks? At least he could ask.

Then Noddy seemed to get an idea. "I think I've got it", he said while lowering his fingers from his chin and donning a smile, "It stared me right in the face, but only now did I figure out it was possible. This room. Certainly there is only a bed for one, but I guess I could arrange something discreetly... no open questions so I don't draw attention to you two... And I'm used to staying awake in the night with little to no preparation time, so I can stand guard for the night. Indeed!" Now his smile was on a rather wide point and he still continued "Now Warlock, I provide a safe place for you, for her, and stand guard. Won't that be all three?" Harol's eyes widened for a moment, then he spoke back in an angered tone: "A greedy one, are we? Well two can play this game. You indeed provide us a safe place, but standing guard is a part of it. Besides it is only one place. I could say it is [i][b]one[/b][/i]."

Noddy was shocked by this, that could be clearly seen. Had he not expected Harol to be able to negotiate with him? Nevertheless, he scratched his head, trying to restore the smile that had disappeared from his face and continued negotiating: "Now now, let's at least say a safe place for you and her for two, okay? Fair for both of us?" Harol nodded and spoke "Well, now it has some sense in it. We'll see how well we sleep though. Two if no problems, one if something manages to disrupt us. Not including stuff outside of course if it is carriages or something, you cannot help that." "Guess that'll have to do..." Noddy answered and sighed slightly. "I'll go find something for the second bed. I think you, warlock, should stay here for you might draw attention... but you, dagger-wielder, you can come with me if you will. I could use some help in the acquiring..."
