Inari sits at the bar nursing a glass of wine and watching the crowd. She is surprised to see Ky and Gareth return so quickly and watches as Gareth introduces her to his friends. Goddess, I hope she behaves herself...
Monty smiles and leans over the bar, “Would you like another glass of wine?”
Shaking her head, “No, I'm fine. But I would like a room, one with two beds if you have anything like that here. I can pay you up front...”
Monty smiles, “That's not necessary.” He turns and takes a key off one of many pegs on the wall behind the bar. “Here, this should work. The couch is a pull out and there's plenty of room.”
“Thank you Monty. That should work.” Inari takes the offered key and finishes her wine. She sees Star, sitting close to Erik and Inari sighs with relief. I am so glad she has him to watch out for her, if she is the one named in the prophecy who knows what evil beings would seek to harm her.
Inari walks up behind Ky and clears her throat to get her attention. Ky turns, smiling and happy. “I heard you coming. Want to join us?”
Inari shakes her head, “Not tonight. I'm tired and not feeling overly sociable this evening. I have a room for us... number 9.”
“Cool. I'll be up a bit later.”
“You will?” Inari tries not to sound surprised.
“Yeah, I will. Maybe we can talk then? If you are still up...”
“Of course we can. Wake me if I am asleep, I dont mind.” Inari wonders what is going on, Ky usually parties hard and ends up in someones bed for the night.
Longing for a shower, Inari heads upstairs and finds their room. She lets herself in, drops her saddlebags in a chair and starts to undress. Her attention goes to the window and she sits in the sill gazing at the moon and stars, bright in the dark sky. Her thoughts turn to her mission... How do we get Morgan to show herself? And how to capture her without anyone getting hurt? Using Star is out, even if Erik would allow it, which he never would, its too dangerous. I wonder if she is fearful of the gargoyles... or of anyone here... Will she be angry enough to make a mistake once she realizes no one is dying from her poisons? She sighs and her thoughts turn to Torin and meeting him in the stables. Wondering if he has given her more than a passing thought she rises and heads to the shower. I'm sure he has more important things on his mind than speaking with me...
