Khensu follows Tessa downstairs and stands about helplessly as the attacks and ministrations go about. Again... once again... how weak am I?!? Why can't I be strong?!? WHY DO I GIVE IN?!?
He walks slowly over to one of the benches in the tavern common area, and sits down forlornly, his arms dangling in his lap. The shifter cannot count the number of times he has lost control of himself while in this forsaken land. He had been so strong before coming here. Hadn't he? HADN'T HE?!?
Maybe not. Maybe he was fooling himself all this time. The duality of his nature... the beast and the man... acting on logic and acting on instinct... perhaps there really is no reason to try to seperate the two? Or think that it's even possible at all?
Meanwhile, outside amidst the carts and buildings in the village plaza, Jarrith moves quickly about, his eyes on the sky. The light that eminates from him brightens the surrounding area, and once or twice it is enough to make someone peak out a window. The sight they see... a naked man with sword in hand... is enough to ellicit a gasp of shock, before the shades are drawn on the windows.
"By the Flame... this is all we needed! Son of a whore!"
The Stalker walks back towards the inn, and then throws open the door. He strides in with no care at all for his bare body, and the glances thrown his way don't affect him at all. He sees Lady Ashlyn look at him with a disapproving eye, but all he can do is give her a shrug.
"Cold out. Shrinkage."
He stands there casually as Mateusz comes out and demands them into his study. Jarrith shrugs and begins walking toward the study door, ready to have the meeting. But Khensu looks up from his bench and says to him. "Brother, he said to go in after you were decent."
Jarrith turns back to the Inquistor and with his customary sideways grin he says "I'm a templar of the Silver Flame. I'm ALWAYS decent." He chuckles to himself and continues walking, but does grab a blanket off one of the makeshift beds to wrap around himself before going in to see the caravan leader. Khensu sighs and shakes his head at his brother's brazeness, then stands to go upstairs to put on some of his clothes.
