Lodging?|Haven, Ilyamen

[karei]

Karei looked around boredly as she wandered around the city with Arai, her horse. A soft sigh passed her lips, followed by a sigh from Arai.
''Yea, me too, boy.'' Kar murmered, rubbing his his nose gently. Both horse and human were quite tired and needed lodgings for the night. So far there were only lodgings for human. Karei couldn't find a comfortable stable anywhere. Already nightfall was coming. They had been wandering around the city for a very long time. Kar felt her legs tire and sighed, halting Arai and mounting him. She leaned forward against his poll and let out a tired yawn.
''I guess we're gonna have to find an old hut or something to bunk in.'' The young girl murmered against the stag's mane, letting out a quiet sigh. Arai snorted and tossed his tresses gently.
''all right, all right, I'll look harder. But you have to help to.'' She sat up, sea-blue orbs scanning the area around them. So far, nothing. She gently pushed a stray ebony lock of hair from her face as she searched for a suitable place for the both of them to stay.

As the last rays of light slipped away, a young boy walked past, carrying a bucket of water and stumbling in the dark, sloshing half of it on the ground. He sighs and spots Karei, then perks up. "Hey, you!" he calls out. "Wanna give me a hand? Please?"

[karei]

Karei, hearing someone call out to her, turned in the direction of the boy. As she turned, Arai did as well.
''Oh, sure kid.'' Kar said, dismounting from her horse and walking over toward him. With one hand settled at the bottom of the bucket she gently lifted it from his hands and placed ehr other hand on the side to hold it steady.
''Do you know of a place I can board my horse for the night?''

[Kender Bard]

The boy perks up and nods. "As a matter of fact, that's where I was taking the water. There's an inn with a nice stable next to it. It's called the Harp and Hearth House. If you follow me, I'll show you!" Without waiting for agreement, the young boy turned on his heel and scampered away.

[karei]

Karei blinked, her and Arai glancing at each other. She shrugged one shoulder and Arai snorted, then both went on to follow the boy.
''This is some good luck, eh Arai?'' Kar asked with a slight smirk. Her only response with another snort from the stag as he shook his dark tresses. She looked ahead and continued to follow the boy, carrying the bucket of water easily.

The boy leads them past many buildings before coming to a stop before a quaint little inn. True to his word, there was a fine stable built right next door, with a lamp hung from the corner of the roof to welcome weary travelers. Savory smells and soft music and laughter float from the direction of the inn. The boy walks back over and takes the bucket back, grinning.

"Thanks a lot, miss. I hope this is the kind of place you were looking for."
