Jazdia formally smiled back at him, before shifting at Matilda with nudging glance. [color=ec008c]"I am sure madam guard captain would appreciate that. Though, our initial intention was to request a service from your physician so our Captain will be treated with more than just first aid."[/color]

The Baron gasped. "By the Gods, how did the good dame received such injuries? I'll have the village doctor summoned at once, worry not. There's a room available-"

[color=007236][b]"That will not be necessary."[/b][/color] the orc paladin said bluntly. [color=007236][b]"We do what we came here for."[/b][/color]


[color=ec008c]"Ah, come on capt', there is no harm in it."[/color] Jazdia turned to the Baron again, who now smiling nervously. His reaction to Matilda's injury was pathetic to the point she wondered if the old coot knew how obvious it was. The elf however wanted to prolong this tango and subtly dismissed Matilda's objection. 

[color=ec008c]"Appreciate it, Baron... I am sure our captain can enjoy some breakfast while she waits for your personal doctor."  [/color]

Steadily, in a way that involves hidden carefulness yet masked with deliberate politeness, Jazdia walked inside the room, followed by the others. Some creaking could be heard when the half-bear druid walked past her toward his own seat. The faint glow in her eyes activated, and in the effort to search for a trapdoor or other nefarious contraptions, she found a very ordinary cellar, below it was an empty dungeon. 

[color=ec008c]"Well, good luck finding a chair for you, Mr. Cedar."[/color] she quipped before their host could notice her intense stare toward his basement. 

The Baron entertained them at a long table in the middle of the room where he sat at the right end. As he clapped his hand, several servants came from the door at the north side of the room, bringing trays of food and drinks. A very deadpan yet courteous servant handed Jazdia a pipping-hot oatmeal porridge with blueberry and apple topping, while the others were to help themselves with various loaves of bread, soup, and meats. Pretty wholesome indeed.
