Masque leads the way towards the building they'd seen.

Permalink

Zveran hurries behind them, flinching a little at the lightning. He does feel rather exposed out here.

Permalink

If Masque notices the flinching, they don't make mention of it - but have they adjusted their pace so that Zveran won't be isolated?

Permalink

Masque has been leading the way for some time, so it is strange that they have dropped back to walk beside him, but it is not unwelcome.

Nontheless, they reach the inn without getting struck by lightning.

Permalink

Which is a relief for all involved.

Permalink

Zveran pushes open the door, sighing in relief. "A room for two- ah. Well. Three?"

The innkeeper smiles, and opens up the ledger on the desk.

Permalink

Aten stays small, and close.

Permalink

Masque flits around the front room.

Permalink

The innkeeper does look worriedly at the small fireball, but doesn't say anything. Perhaps people around here have pet fiends?

Zveran finishes signing into the guestbook, and accepts the key given. "Thank you."

He turns to Aten and Masque. "Shall we?"

Permalink

Masque nods silently.

Permalink

Zveran leads the way through to the back, into the small room. There is a bed, a couch, and a table. Not much else.

Zveran sinks onto the couch, throwing his pack down. 

Permalink

Masque considers the room for a moment and then settles down on the floor next to a wall.

Permalink

Zveran isn't sure he likes that, but doesn't say anything. Isn't sure if it's something worth pushing.

"Another day's journey and we'll be at the temple. I guess then you'll be going?"

Permalink

Masque hums, which isn't really an answer at all.

Permalink

“I-“ hope you won’t? Want you to stay? Have become reliant on your steady presence? 

Zveran won’t force them to do anything, and if they need to go, he’ll let them. Doesn’t mean he has to be happy about it in the slightest. 

“I hope you’ll find safety.”

Permalink

"Safety is an illusion."

Permalink

Yeah, he should’ve expected that response. 

“Then I hope you find adventure? Thrills?”

Permalink

"I'm sure I'll find something."

Permalink

“Will you go back to robbery?”

Permalink

"I don't know."

Permalink

Zveran sits back. What was all this for, if they go back to life they had before?

"You'll be more careful this time?"

Permalink

There's a moment of silence. "As I can."

Permalink

"That's all I ask."

Permalink

Masque seems confused by that response, but doesn't say anything else.

Permalink

They're confused, Zveran feels bereft, all in all it is not going to be a happy night for them.

Zveran sighs, and attempts to draw out his usually more light-hearted self, even if it's only a...mask...
