Message: <blockquote data-quote="pathfinderq1" data-source="post: 4604622" data-attributes="member: 48394">As the group returned to town, Tessa seemed lost in thought for most of the trek.  There was so much that had happened, so much yet to be understood...Once they reached the center of town, though, she began to drag herself from the mire of questions and concerns which plagued her mind.  She could see the folk here, both locals and caravaners, descending into despair- the same malaise which wore on her companions, it seemed.  But where the Host and the Flame had allowed Tessa and her friends to withstand the pressures, at least to some extend, these common folk were falling to the stress and fear...  She shook her head- she wanted nothing more than a bath, and a soft bed, a night of calm and rest.  But she had strength left, and she could not begrudge a bit of it- as a priestess of the Host, she would at least try to help.From who knows where, she summoned a smile, and kept it.  For each sidelong glance, she had a soft greeting- for every terse greeting, she had a quiet blessing.  She did not try to overwhelm them with piety or fervor, but simply showed a quiet strength- a tiny light to keep the last flickers of hope alive, if they were there at all.  But at last, she too sought the comfort of the inn, and a solitary room- while she needed but little sleep, she did need some, and there was quite a bit of work awaiting on the morrow...  She had, in fact, made it halfway up the stairs before she realized that some work remained tonight.  With a sigh, she made her way back to Ashlyn and Sir Urik.  "Lady Ashlyn, once you are done here, might you accompany me to deal with the merchantry?  You hold much of our found goods, and our credit- and there are purchases we must make.  Some components, most particularly, that may influence which blessings I seek from the Host in the morning."  Left unsaid was the idea that even in the boundaries of town, Tessa felt far safer when traveling in company...OOC: May as well find out if they have Restoration components before she takes the spell</blockquote>
