[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 7218999, member: 143"] Chapter 81 “Well, kid, you’re in the army now,” Kosk said once they were back in the square outside the keep. The sentries from before had been replaced by new ones, though they regarded them with hardly less suspicion than the others even considering that they’d come from inside the keep rather than from the city. “That’s what we came here to do,” Bredan said. “And besides, you’re in too.” “That’s not what our letter said,” the dwarf said. “We are here to provide support to the King’s efforts against the goblin-kin, but we didn’t come here to enlist. Chances are we won’t see each other again once the folks in charge figure out what to do with you.” Bredan looked troubled, but Quellan quickly interjected to stop the conversation from brewing into an argument. “We should focus on what we have to do next,” the cleric said. “With the city so crowded, it will likely be difficult to secure lodging…” “The King’s Justice,” Glori said. “It’s the nicest inn in Adelar. It’s just a few blocks from the street we came in on, in the East District.” Bredan blinked in surprise. “I thought you said you’d never been here before,” he finally said. “I haven’t,” she said. “But unlike you, I talk to people, and I listen to what they say.” “Well, we have money,” Quellan said. “Perhaps a few nights in a good inn would be a pleasant…” “You go on ahead,” Glori said. “I have a few errands to run first.” “Errands?” Bredan asked. “But… you can’t go off into a strange city by yourself!” At the look she gave him he quickly added, “None of us should. With all these people… it could be dangerous,” he finished lamely. “Bredan’s right,” Quellan said. “Not suggesting that you cannot handle yourself, Glori, but it would be reckless to explore the city alone.” “Fine, I’ll take Kosk,” she said. Now it was the dwarf’s turn to look surprised, but his frown returned swiftly and he growled something that might have been assent. “You two can go secure us rooms. Just for tonight, first off. I’ll probably be able to negotiate a better deal.” “Then shouldn’t you go get the rooms?” Bredan suggested. Glori put on an expression of exasperated patience. “We don’t know how long it’ll be before these ‘orders’ come through. There are some things I’d like to get taken care of right away.” “Fine,” Bredan said. “I’ve got things to do too. I need to find a smith who knows how to work armor, and maybe get a new suit for Quellan.” “I am fine for now,” Quellan said. “But we will do as you suggest, Glori. But what if there are no rooms available at this inn?” “If that happens, I’ll meet you in the common room at supper time,” Glori suggested. “We can decide what to do then.” Without waiting to see if they had any other questions, she took Kosk by the arm and headed out into the city. The dwarf shrugged off her grip after just a few steps, but he went along with her. “I hope he knows what he’s gotten himself into,” Bredan muttered. “She knows how to take care of herself,” Quellan said. Bredan nodded, but the half-orc wasn’t looking at him, rather staring after Glori as she and Kosk disappeared into the crowd along the far edge of the square. “Come on, I guess we’d better find that inn, or she’ll never let us hear the end of it,” Bredan said.
