Ah, thank you so much for remembering me! Unfortunately I'm going to have to bow out of the running, so feel free to release my spot to the wind. Best of luck with this journey - I look forward to reading up on the adventures! @Oddsbod
Janetta was concerned about whether Gris may or may not have taken the doctor's comms device for himself... But she didn't mention the worry. If he had, there was nothing they could do about it at that point. Besides, it may help them locate and disarm him faster, which would be ideal, considering it would be one less enemy to sort out. She brought her device up to sight level and touched it, activating the contacts screen and selecting Ami's name.
It rang in her palm, and the noise was echoed somewhere a few rooms down from where they stood, off to their right. Jan's eyes snapped up to meet Ryobi's, and she let it ring once more to see if anyone would answer before promptly hanging up when nothing came. She didn't want to attract any more attention to them then they might have already done, and if Ami didn't pick up after the few moments her device was vibrating, she wasn't going to at all.
In a swift motion, she slid her device into her pocket and withdrew her pistol, holding it once more at the ready as she squinted her eyes down the short hall lined with rooms for patients, as if that might give her Kitt's scanner vision. The stark white of the walls surrounding them was starting to prod at Janetta's ever-flaring anxiety, especially in the silence that followed the comms' ringing. In an effort to assuage the tension that was amassing in her body, she found herself putting one foot in front of the other, heading towards the direction of where the doctor's comms had been heard. She wasn't sure if Ryobi was following behind her, or what his feelings on the proper reaction might be, but she was too paranoid to pry her eyes away from what might be waiting ahead of her.
She passed the first two rooms, which were both closed and dark, and didn't bother checking them at the moment, because it didn't take long for her to realize where her destination was. It was the second patient's room on their left; the door was open and the lights were on, and when Janetta finally shoved away from the wall on the left side of the doorway which she had been taking cover behind before entering the room, she simply stared.
"Ryobi," she breathed, by way of telling him to come look if he hadn't been following her. Her tone was strangely monotonous, unsure of how to feel about the sight. When her officer looked inside, he too could see that the doctor's device was laying by itself in the middle of an examination table at the center of the room.

To be honest, the long periods of waiting have caused me to lose the muse for this, so I think I'm going to have to bow out at this point. Best of luck to y'all if you do continue on.
I suppose that means I'm taking @JBRam2002 with me, so... -quietly slips away with him into the night-

In the time that it took Yvah to finish the frothy liquid, Araerys had replaced the hand on her wound and had made quick gestures with her free one, casting the healing spell on herself and immediately feeling its effects. Her attention was much sharper and the discomfort had completely gone, and she was rolling back her shoulders in a stretch as the hiccup drew the half-elf's attention back to the feline. It elicited an amused chuckle from the woman as she placed a hand on Yvah's forearm and repeated the spell, assuming she was in need of the help, as well. Then, remembering her words to the elf, she motioned for Ceria to reach out an arm, which Araerys took and employed the healing spell once more. When she was finished, she leaned over the counter and took the keys from the barkeep with a grateful nod.
"A warm thank you, sir. And let's see... Another round for Fuzzball over here," she said, jokingly taking a glance at Yvah from the corner of her eyes. The nickname was probably something kept between the two, but Araerys felt at ease playing with the girl. Then, nodding towards the paladin to indicate: "And a mug for this fella and myself, if you please." She took a gold piece from her belt purse and laid it out on the counter before turning to offer up the keys of the rooms to whoever wanted to take them. Some might have thought she was being overly familiar with the group much too soon, but that was just the way she was. Most of them still hadn't introduced themselves, and probably still didn't know her name, but Ary wasn't going to be shy after sharing a near-death experience with the lot. "Here," she announced to the rest of their company, turning her body sideways and holding out the keys with their tags in the palm of her hand. They were free to be taken by whomever. "I'm sure you'd all like some much needed rest... Thank you, once again."
Once the keys were freed from her possession, she turned back to find that Racchus was quick to provide them with the mugs, and after lifting her own in a sincere salute to the two beside her, she downed the ale with the ease of the tiefling himself. It was obvious she wasn't a stranger to the stuff, and it's warmth comforted her as she slid off the barstool and made to follow the group up to the rooms. Curious as she was about the rest of them, she figured she might as well recover tonight under a paid-for roof while she could. But she kept to the feline's company for good measure.

Araerys wasn't much too intimidated by the goblin's mug, all too accustomed to getting strange stares whether or not she had done something to elicit them or not. It was part of the territory, especially one like Bourgund where one encountered all types of travelers, and the landscape of company was perpetually changing. It did seem to spook her elven counterpart, however; Ceria suddenly jerking away from the group might have urged more glances their way, and Ary, feeling obliged to make this as painless as possible, moved from behind Yvah to take a place next to the feline at the counter.
"We're thankful for your help, sir," she said sincerely, "How much more is needed to cover the group's safe stay?" Her hand found belt pouch at her waist that contained her coin and fingered it idly. She wasn't really one who enjoyed parting with her money (then again, who was?), but today was proving to be an exceptional day. Still, Ceria had already put down plenty of gold, as did the paladin, and Ary was hoping the difference that remained wouldn't be too excessive. As she waited for the barkeep's answering, the woman tried to catch Ceria's eye, and if she did, she would offer a little smile and calming eyes.
