[@Forsythe]

The dragon suggested Shina might need medicine. But was she ill? She certainly didn't feel that she was, and yet, she still couldn't believe what she was seeing. 

[color=green] 'Perhaps you are right, some fresh air might do me some good, too much time spent over the forge has my mind playing tricks on me.' Minnow, I owe you for the beer, put it on my tab. I am just going to get some fresh air with our new guest. [/color] Shina winked at Minnow, her 'tab' was so many years old she feared if she ever actually wanted that money she'd be broke! 

As she stepped outside, Lapoo flew through the inn doors and landed on a tree opposite. Looking bemused as to why her master was behaving so oddly she started eating limberries again. Shina took in a deep breath of air and let her panda tail sweep the leaves from the ground. As she turned back to talk to the dragon, the sun shone on a red-haired tall woman! No wings, no claws, no scales! Shina rubbed her eyes and looked around; maybe the dragon had flown away?! But it couldn't have done, not so quickly and not without making some sound. 

[color=green] 'Wh..a...t what the..?? where is the dragon?? Did you see it leave miss?' [/color]
