She glances at him with a mixture of gratitude and resentment. A shy mouse of a girl unsure of male attention. Eyes down, she scurries into the inn. Warm golden firelight and a burst of laughter escape through the door as she enters.Elsewhere in the inn's courtyard, two grooms are currying down a pair of horses, the team for the one coach currently garaged nearby.</blockquote>
