Kathryn wondered if it had something to do with the rumors from last night? Or if there was something else worrying the woman about letting in a fully armored half giant and an energetic tiefling? She wasn't sure but Kathryn was glad to be in the safety of the indoors. Kosara's description of the Constable took a while for others to catch on, but the point did get across. Though Kosora's direct questioning also helped speed things along rather well. When "Cravenfish" is mentioned, there is a little confusion until the elder Mrs. L'Rose figures it out. [color=darkgray]"Oh, you mean the Constable! I haven't a reason why that should be suspicious. He is likely following up on the Goblin Incident you and your friends helped us with. Thank you for letting me know. I'm sure it will be fine."[/color] Her words are optimistic but tired. When asked about any feelings of paranoia, Cecily lowered her voice and moved from the table, as if to keep her niece from easily overhearing, [color=darkgray]"Oh, it's nothing really."[/color] Her voice was quieter, mentioning, [color=darkgray]"I didn't want to alarm Lizbeth, but something did seem a little off last night. She didn't seem to notice anything, and I figured it was the heavy fog and ...and attack from earlier."[/color] She goes on to mention that she feels okay now, and they have decided to stick around for the festival. They both intend to do a little shopping later, maybe take in a performance later that evening, but will mostly keep around the B&B for the day. [color=darkgray]"Oh, but I have no intention of setting foot outside the Township's walls. No ma'am."[/color] Throughout all this, Lizbeth is acting very bubbly and cramming her mouth full of scones and other breakfasty tidbits. She doesn't contribute to the conversation, but will respond pleasantly and appropriately if directly conversed with. She just seems very into her breakfast, like she hadn't eaten in a while and finally got an appetite. Kathryn was glad to hear that the two would be keeping safe as they could for the time being. Kathryn walked up to the young girl, worried for Lizbeth. "[color=598527]Get enough? You're eating enough for the two of us.[/color]" She tried to come across in a joking manner, but she was worried. The girl had gone through a lot in the last day and Kathryn wasn't sure how to make sure she was okay. "[color=darkgray]I'm okay! Just hungry.[/color]" The girl looked beat, and out of it. And was only now beginning the process of bouncing back. Kathryn chuckled her reply to keep moods as high as she could. "[color=598527]Make sure to save room for greens Lizbeth. A balanced diet will help you get big and strong.[/color]" Kathryn did a mock flex of her arm, which in her armor wasn't much but the point was fun to bring up anyways. Though she was also a bit of a hypocrite there. Though she did have her fair share of greens growing up, a large portion of her diet in the last year or so consisted of mostly meats, potatoes, and alcohols. With some bread to wash it down. So maybe she wasn't the best example and she had the benefit of favorable genetics on her side. That didn't mean she shouldn't try to steer this kid on the right path? As it was time to leave, and time to wrap up their house call, Kathryn looked back over to Cecile, and worry came back over her. Kathryn walked up to the woman who was considerably smaller by comparison. "[color=598527]Hey Cecile?[/color]" Kathryn walked up to the woman, undoing a clamp on her belt. Hanging off the open belt was likely the best conditioned item on Kathryn's person, a newer looking hand axe in a used but still good conditioned leather sheath. Kathryn handed it to Cecile with a look of concern on her face. She then spoke quietly in a concerned tone. "[color=598527]Just in case. Things are getting... concerning.[/color]" Cecile had a look on her face like the whole thing must of been a joke, but Kathryn's expression didn't change. She took the axe with little word. "[color=598527]It's a belted clamp so... it'll fit on most belts... And just... Be safe. It's just... in case.[/color]" She wished she was better at comforting people. It was one of her weaker areas. "[color=598527]If ya need anything, you know where to find us.[/color]" She spoke in a more cheerful tone. "[color=598527]Hoping to wrap this up quick so things can go back to normal soon.[/color]" She was worried much more was at play than what met the eyes. Kathryn left with Kosara to the Silver Smith's. Once there, the place was still boarded up, and sealed. From the inside may have been her biggest advantage. If she [b][i]Had[/i][/b] to force her way in, she was more confident in pushing in wood boards with the nails facing away from her than towards her. While looking into the cracks between the boards, she spotted... something. No, someone. A silhouette from some sort revealed by an orange glow from inside the room. "[color=598527]Someone's in there. I say we knock.[/color]" Expecting the energetic tiefling would also want to participate. "[color=598527]Same time?[/color]" Kathryn said stepping to the side, but in a way where she could start pounding the door with her steel plated fist the moment Kosara started.
