"A musician?"

Almar asked with a laugh in his voice as he put the crossbow away yet held his other weapons at hand, if there were any other intentions in her mind than just a friendly chat.

"Well partly, you may consider me as a bard, a thief, a bounty hunter or just a traveller whom balances with the law..."

Almar smiled.

Freyja sipped on her mead and glanced around the room. Nearly all the tables were full with loud drunken seafarers, mercenaries, merchants, rangers or warriors happily singing along to the music or bragging about their latest accomplishments. She suddenly got a sense of being watched. She turned her head and quickly eyed the inn again. Nothing. She shrugged it off and turned her focus back on the flagon in her hand. A few minutes later she got that sense again.

"Somebody is watching me" she thought to herself.

Annalett stared at the fire, she listened to the music being played, till the musician left. She glanced around the room, watching every movement every being in the Inn made. She had that way about her, when she got in a state when things seem to be in slow motion. She felt rythems around her when something moved. A man blinked as another man set down his cup.

A woman glanced around the room, as if looking for someone. Another man started lauphing. Shaking her head, Annalett got out of that state. She glanced around the room once more, then glanced at her cup.

"bar tender! a refill on my wine please." she called out. The man came with a refill almost instantly. Annalett gave him two copper pennies for the refill...

Morvenn picked up her staff and began to walk over to the young woman, that she had been quietly observing.
Walking up to bar she feigned a drunken stumble onto it, knocking over her drink.
She lay on the floor and faked a raucous laugh.
"You're foot was in the way..I hope I didn't hurt it" she smirked up at the woman.

Annalett watched the scene with red pupils. Keeping her full red lips in a tight position, a small smile flikered on her face, but was replaced by the expresionless face the red-head always used.

She heard thunder crack out side, and the sound of rain on glass could be heard on the few windows in the inn. A couple of men, farmers she thought, had lit pipes, and were smoking. Annalett sneezed twise as the horid smell of burning dried leaf got to her nose. Closing her eyes one more time to sneeze. When she opened them, a drunken man loumed over her.

"Now whats a pretty 'ittle lass doin in the corner all by 'er 'ittle self. ey? Why don't 'ou come sit wit' me and me pals?" He slured, and clumsely grabbed her wrist and started pulling her from her chair.

"leave me alone." she cried, in a voice that sounded of sweet music.

"why?" he asked back, pulling harder, dragging her.

"I said, leave me alone!" this time her voice was harsh, and scared the drunken. Annalett brought out a dagger, and but the man's fingers, forcing him to let go.

"Why you little devil!" the drunken lounged at her. And with one quick movement, Annalett put back her dagger, and brought out her sword and pointed it at the man. He stopped as the sword tip was pointed at his throught.

"I said, leave me alone." she wispered, eyes flairing red with rage. Reluctantly the man left, and went back to his table...

Freyja jumped in fright as a strange woman stumbled onto the bar. Her drink got knocked over and she could feel the damp material of her dress close to her body as mead trickled down the garment.

"Uh no you are fine" she said a little caught off guard. "Are you alright? That looked like a nasty fall" she asked concerned.

Morvenn stayed down on the floor, and continued giggling.
"I'm just fine. I like it here, it's nice"

Freyja raised her left eyebrow and chuckled. "Alright, if you say so" she said shaking her head at the woman down on the floor. She reached her hand down for the woman to grab. "Here, let me help you up" she said.

Morvenn grabbed her hand tightly and let the woman help her up onto her feet before intentionally stumbling into her.
"I'm so sorry" she slurred "I'm not doing too well at all. Would you mind helping me to my table?"

"Do not worry about it. Of course I will help you get to your table - here" she said grabbing the woman's arm and put it around her neck thus supporting the drunken woman with her full bodyweight. "Where is your table at?" she asked.

"Over there" Morvenn pointed to the dark corner.
"Thank you so much, you're such a kind soul. Let me buy you another drink."

Annalett sat back down at her seat, sheathing her sword. She kept her sences open, so nothing like that ould happen again. Annalett moved her chair, so her back was against the wall, the fire place beside her, and the room infront of her. She drew her hood over her face so that noone could see what she was looking at. A young woman helped another woman across the room.

Smiling, she started humming a sweet song. Turning from angry to calm in a matter of seconds. The humming got louder, then Annalett started singing a song, though it could barly be hear over the racket of the tavern.

"oh, sweet vioces of the sky. So beautiful tonight.
I wish for luck and happyness, as I ventur through the night."

It was an old traveling song she learned from an old harper, who was now dead...

"The stars shine bright as I can see,
this is a night for traveling.
Ground underfoot, goes sailing by.
As I am led by the man of the moon, with his chariot and silver horses of moonlight,
The silver horses chomp on thier silver bits, with the sounds of the night."

she started singing louder, rising a few spirits of the men that sat close enouph to hear.

"I try to find a sertain place, that not another eye has seen.
I hope to find a new place that I can dwel for centeries.
Yet were is home, but behind me,
With dinner awaiting, but it's not for me.
The world I have yet to see,
is far, far ahaid of me.
I know there is no place to rest. yet I go till I reach the... horizen..."

The song ended, and Annalett layed back in her chair, thinking about the old harper...

Isra looked at the woman sitting near him that had finnished singing

" Beautiful."
He put down his drink on the counter and decided to go up to his room.
When he got up there he took out his flute one morre time and played a lulabye. It was soft and sweet and it soon luled him to sleep as he played d

Freyja led the intoxicated woman towards the dark corner of the inn and helped her sit down.

"There you go" she said and took the liberty of sitting down herself. "I think you had just a tad bit too much to drink tonight" she said and chuckled. "You do not have to spend your money on me though - I was almost done with the mead anyway! I thank thee for the offer but I must decline politely" she said and made herself comfortable.

"My name is Freyja by the way. What is yours?"

Morvenn leaned in closer, throwing an arm over her shoulder for effect.
"My name is Morvenn and I wont be taking no for an answer. Let me replace your drink, it is the very least I can do"
Hunching over she fumbled about under her cloak to get out her money pouch.
