"...I am willing to explain this more, but it's explaining, not negotiating. If you want me to take care of you, you will not store food in places where rodents can get it in our room."

Blink blink.

A glance around the room. 

"There?" she asks, pointing at a sconce with a light in it.

"Let me see if it gets hot, if it does it could cause a fire." She touches the sconce. "- huh, they have cool bulbs, I was not expecting that at the apparent tech level. Yeah, you can put the packet there."

And they can remove it later if they need more space. Now how can she get up there...

Pelape will put it up for her if she wants? Or pull over the chair.

Chair works.

Chair it is.

And put. She feels a sort of safer already, with something stashed away.

"Do you want to know more about the rodent thing or is it not important since you found a hiding place?"

Eefa shrugs.

Okay, if she's not interested they can cover it later.

The town outside is - interesting. She's spinning theories while she peoplewatches.

The area right outside of the hotel is certainly busy, almost market like, the merchants who visit the hotel acting as both buyers and sellers, mingling with the cityfolk. 

She might even recognize some of the merchants arriving now.

"The folks who had you before we escaped are coming. We should stay in our room, I think Saffron's probably serious about forbidding violence but there's no reason to try it."

There isn't enough room in the sconce for Eefa and under the bed is too obvious but she can stay out of sight of the window and go out it or the door if she needs to.

Pelape closes the curtain most of the way and only peeks through the corner to see what they're up to.

A few of the group split off and looking around at the various stalls but the leader who Pelape first talked to heads for the hotel.

She makes sure the room door is locked and that she knows where her stolen pistol is.

And then they can wait.

Around nightfall they can make a trip to the bathroom together in preparation for bedtime.

Someone from the caravan is already there and does not look happy about their presence. 

"Well, you two sure gave us the runaround."

Eefa steps back so Pelape is standing between her and the trader.

"...they got here first, let's come back in a few," Pelape says to Eefa, ushering her back out into the hall.

Sounds like a plan to Eefa.

Pelape waits for the amount of time it takes to comb out Eefa's hair and get it all clean again. It's a while, her hair is very thick.

Eefa can sit still for this and not complain since she doubts that would help anything.
