Melisa Rynir - Near an Inn - Hials

When the woman bowed to her, a shiver went through her body as a reminder she needed to get somewhere warm. Nodding to her, she felt it wasent necessairy to do so, but at least the woman had respect. It was something that many of her soldier lacked...that is until she forced it upon them. How nice the woman was to offer a stay at her home as well....for once, Melisa didn't feel she needed to be cold towards her but, it was not like her bitterness was something she could turn off. Though she was hopeful her appreciation would be seen through the harsh tone. "I thank you for your words, and...so long the trip isn't too far, I will accept your invitation to your home. " It confused Melisa a bit as she wondered why the woman would offer such hospitality. She had never demanded 'royal attention' or whatever people called it. She just wanted respect, and she had been given that much by her so far. If only everyone were like this one.

Already she could hear the pompous laughter of men from inside the Inn who clearly had too much to drink. She wanted to barge in there and scream at them for polluting her ears with such a noise. Hmph. They must have no respect for themselves...cleary. How can anyone be taken seriously if they dont stand tall and present themselves at their best at all times? The fools... this is why we leave them here at the bottom...and those who act and demand to be kings and queens, become them.

"With the rats you'll all stay less you change your attitudes..." she mumbled bitterly. A wind basted her then and blew her hood off. With a squeal that sounded much like one that would come from a child she yelled suddenly. "WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE ME SOMEWHERE OUT OF THIS COLD!?" to be honest, she no longer cared where they went, she just wanted to be inside. She stepped over to the woman and kind of slouched behind her in a childish attempt to escape the wind's wrath. "I'm not suited to stand this kind of weather. I cannot wait to return to my warm place in Aledel."

Melisa Rynir - A random Inn - Hials

Melisa glanced down at herself when the woman began to try to piece together who exactly she was through what she was wearing, among other things. It was true her armor was not one that just anyone could afford, and when the woman mentioned 'discharges', an even greater scowl was brought upon her face. Melisa was not injured, highly doubted her family even thought about her in the past few months, and was most certainly not here because she wanted to be. So where did that leave her? Did she fall under the category of mentally ill? The thought seemed ridiculous despite her deteriorating sanity. As if anyone would have noticed...had she not been as secretive as she would have liked? So many questions that simple statement had brought about.... As they approached the inn, the woman had turned and asked a simple question.

"But more importantly, just who are you?"

Letting out a small sigh, Melisa crossed her arms over her chest. It was probably a bad idea to tell the woman her name. She could only imagine how much gossip she could arouse by telling all she knew that she had spotted a Rynir cowering under a bridge. How disgraceful that would be. However, the woman did seem more mature, she was helpful....so maybe this time she would take a chance and trust someone. If all else failed, it didn't matter. Melisa didn't plan to return to Hials after this, so as long as the rumors stayed secluded here, it didn't really matter. It was a long moment before she actually spoke. "My name is Melisa Rynir..." she said, her voice absent of anger or the like. She glanced around herself and thought maybe she could avoid such a secret getting out.

"...I'm willing to pay you however much you want to keep you quiet about finding me. I have a reputation I would like to uphold."

Melisa Rynir - Onward to an Inn - Hials

Biting back a snap she normally would have sent out, Melisa stayed quiet for a moment. A traveler? Dressed as I? I ought to smack her for saying such a foolish thing...her only saving grace is her ignorance. She knows not who I am. With a deep breath and reighning in on more control over her voice, she said, "I'm no p-pesky traveler. one would think such a person comes more prepared for the expected w-weather. It has been a long time since i've walked these c-crowded streets is all..." Well, that was a bit better than the first time. "I have a better place to sleep tonight than a filthy inn... which I plan to take advantage of, though with d-discomfort at the thought of it." she said, refering to the Rhynir fortress that in her eyes was more like a prison. However, I will gladly take food and drink regardless of the quality." she finished,

With a sigh, Melisa decided to answer the question simply, likely the woman didn't want to know her backstory. "I am here on an unwanted vacation." she said in a low voice. There it was, that menacing edge to her voice was clearer that time around as she glared at the footsteps in the snow. Melisa had already grown tierd of speaking to the woman, but did her best not to let her discomfort show. She didn't want to start telling the whole story of being dragged from Rehon to this place the gods appeared to have forgotten about. It was also very daunting, the realization of the next possible question being, 'Why were you huddled under the bridge like that?'

Melisa gave a silent prayer the woman wouldn't bring it up. Her emotions were now under control, back to where she had like them to be. The last thing she needed was a trigger than sent her crying waterfalls again.

Melisa Rynir - Under a Bridge - Hials

It was a long while before Melisa was roused out of her whirlwind of deranged toughts. It was the concerned voice of a woman who was likely passing by.

"Excuse me, is there something wrong madam?"

Cursing lightly to herself, Melisa wondered how she could get out of this one without her face being seen. Last thing she needed was to be seen in this state...and oh how unfortunate she was that someone had stumbled upon her. She wished she would be so lucky as to have simply wasted away in this frozen crevise. With a sigh of frustration, she lifted a frozen hand to pull her hood over her head and eyes before slowly standing. She did not look at the woman, just simply stood and began to dust herself off as she walked towards her. She dabated wether to just ignore the woman and continue on her way with her foul mood, however such a circumstance as this required Melisa to re-think her plan of avoidance. Instead she stopped a few feet away and spoke. "Is th-there... a p-place near here where i can get f-food and a drink-k?" despite her trying not to studder, the involuntary shivers that assumed control of her body did not allow her to speak in a fluid sentence. Nor did it allow her to use her menacing voice. Instead, she sounded like an average woman her age who was lonely, scared, hungry, and cold. It brought a scowl to her face as she heard the sound.

Well, i suppose if there is one thing about this damed city that has remained true...it is that it changes even the worst kinds of people...
