Tired Traveler Arriving|Talen'sul

[Kender Bard]

Talon walks into the Whispering Owl Inn and flashes the innkeeper a grin. "Hi there. Three rooms for the night."

The innkeeper holds up a finger, "Right after this client, please." Talon just grins and nods, humming and looking around, as though the whole incident with his home never happened.

Acqua leans against a wall, petting Faith and thinking. Amaro glances at her and frowns. "Do either of you get the feeling Acqua's planing something?" he mutters to Talon and Alethia.

[Kender Bard]

"Acqua is always planning something," Alethia sighs. "After she disappeared last time, I trust we'll never be able to keep her near for long though..."

[Northen Light36]

Amaro scowls. "We can certainly at least try to," he mutters and walks over to Acqua. "Something on your mind kid?"
"Maybe," replies Acqua. "But it's my business, not yours."

[Kender Bard]

Alethia walks over and touches Amaro's shoulder lightly, "This isn't your department, Amaro. Go stand with Talon."

[Northen Light36]

Amaro scowls at Acqua before nodding to Alethia and walking over to Talon. Acqua just sighs and looks away from her sister.

[Kender Bard]

"It might not be any of his business, but isn't it mine?" she asks in a quiet tone.

[Northen Light36]

Acqua sighes and continues to look anywhere but at her sister. "I'm going to help Hawk," she murmurs softly after awhile. "Amaro is hopeless at this sort of thing. He'll probably end up starting a huge fight and then getting himself locked up."

[Kender Bard]

Alethia lowers her head as a sorrowful expression flits over her face. "I wish you wouldn't."

Meanwhile, outside of the town Tom and Lessa are working on where they are and where they should be going. Eventually they decide for Lessa to head into town to find one of the others to try and help while Tom waits out of the way of where other Elementals would be traveling so he wont cause any problems.

Acqua glances at her sister and instantly feels torn. For a long, long while she stays silent, then slowly nods. "If it means that much to you, I'll stay Alethia," she says at last. "But if Amaro messes this up, I'll go rescue Hawk myself. Fair enough?"

[Kender Bard]

Alethia grins and hugs Acqua. "Yes, very fair. I hate to do this, Acqua, but you've been gone for so long, and going into Maelstrom is a deathwish. I'm sorry."

The innkeeper glances up and flashes Lessa a smile as she enters.

[Northen Light36]

"I could handle myself in Maelstrom sis," Acqua replies, returning the hug. "But I'd rather be with you and Talon, I admit it... I'm just worried about poor Hawk."

[Kender Bard]

Not having anything positive to say about that, Alethia simply brushes a bang aside and nods.

[Northen Light36]

Faith, sitting on Acqua's shoulder, breaks the solumn mood by batting playfully at Alethia's hair. Acqua giggles, then spots Lessa. "Hey, Lessa's here."
