Arletta waved bye to the caravan, thanking them for the directions before heading off to the Inn. The ahem...noises, wouldn't likely bother her much. Used [i]she'd[/i] be the one making them but ever since becoming a dullahan, surprisingly she's been much more focused on things other than that. Well, as long as no one decided to pop off her head at least. Odd thing, wasn't it? She chuckled wistfully to herself as she arrived at the Inn, getting a somewhat questioning look since she was alone. A brief exchange and she had herself a room for the night.

Even if she didn't mind roughing it, having a nice bed to sleep in would be fun. Besides, she could get breakfast and maybe a souvenir or two. Plus she wanted to check on Valarie. Hopefully she didn't get into too much trouble after the incident. She'd feel terrible if she got in too much trouble on her account. It seemed like Valarie was on the fast track to trouble, at this rate.

Ah well.

She pulled off most of her armor, setting them against the wall near the bed before plopping down on it and taking her journal and scribbling a few notes in it. She bought a new one shortly before coming to the guild, and was looking forward to filling it up. It was a habit from her human adventuring days - though back then it was for less enjoyment and more for taking note of any interesting, ahem, valuables and ruins that might have...valuables that needed to be apprehended.

She stayed up for a few more minutes, the sounds of the other occupants of the Inn not bothering her too much. It was easy to focus when you were a monster that normally had at least a bit of discipline to them. Got a fair bit of sleep, too, not that an undead like her really needed much sleep to start with but it was nice to still do it from time to time. By the time morning rolled around, she felt well rested.

She left the Inn with her things, after a breakfast and a little stop at a souvenir store that the lady last night had pointed out and picking up a little gift for Magnus, Arletta finally left the shrine town after being unable to find Valarie. Didn't take her long to reach the guild the next day either, and was pleasantly surprised to see the dwarves had done an excellent job of repairing the once dilapidated house, and she was greeted by an excitable Neil when she walked up to the door.

[color=8882be]"Oh...Neil! Aha, yes...sorry about disappearing like that."[/color] She gave him a smile. [color=8882be]"I had some personal business that suddenly came up. I am back now, though, so no need to worry too much about that."[/color] She reached into her belt for a few seconds before continuing. [color=8882be]"I actually came back yesterday and just now completed a job at that Shrine Town. Lovely place, though you may not want to spend the night there, heh."[/color] Arletta chuckled lightly.
