Ves pouted when Björn took away her mug of mead, but didn't argue. She hiccuped instead and blushed, ducking her head sheepishly. She glanced up again when Varnis addressed her, nodding a little in agreement. She would get her supplies tomorrow and look into finding someone to teach her about survival. She needed to learn how to track and shoot and what wild plants were edible. Maybe she could even find a book with pictures that would help.

She looked a little concerned when Björn said he needed some time alone, but she could understand. What Björn was struggling with was something only he could handle. Ves knew no matter how much she fussed and worried, there was nothing she could do to make it better. Some things just had to be dealt with alone.

A yawn escaped her suddenly and Ves realized how tired she was. The alcohol and the day's events had finally caught up to her. She blinked eyes that were suddenly very heavy. "I think I'm going to go to bed," She announced to the two men. "It's been a long day and tomorrow is going to be busy. Hopefully Daggar has a room available."

She hopped off her chair and wandered over to the bar to speak with the Dwarf. She swayed a little on her feet, but managed not to fall or stumble. After a brief discussion and the exchange of some coin, Ves returned victorious to the table with room key in hand. "Are you staying up Björn?" There was no expectation in her question: whatever he chose to do was fine with her.

*Björn nodded his head to her question.* "Aye, I'm gonna stay up for now. I need to spend some time by myself. I'll join you soon, I promise." *The Goliath stood up and kissed the top of her head before finishing his drink.* "What about you, Varnis?"

**"Well, for me, I'll be turning in for the evening myself. I've got a room upstairs, courtesy of our short, bald friend over there."** *Varnis glanced to Daggar and then back to the table.* **"Don't worry about Björn Ves, I'm sure he can sort himself out if trouble arises."** *He gave a reassuring smile.* **"I'll see you two in the morning."** *And with that, Varnis ascended the stairs to his own room.*

*Björn smiled once more to Ves before throwing his furs over himself and walked out of the Tavern. Walking for a bit, he found a nice spot of grass where he could sit on his knees. Looking up at the stars in the sky and the moon, the Barbarian felt a wave of calm over him.*

"Dearest Lunam. I... Haven't really done this since I was a kid but. Please, oh powerful and ever-present Lord of the Moon and Stars, please help me. My mind is... Filled with a memory I do not recall. Covered in white, cold dust and with a man my brain seems to call my Father. Please... Answer my call and help me. Help me figure out my life and my next steps, show me a pathway forward and give me a sign of some kind. Please Lunam... I beg of you." *And with that, Björn turned his weary eyes to the heavens once more, watching the stars and constellations shift, waiting for a sign from his God.*

Ves smiled affectionately at her partner (or was it boyfriend now?) as he kissed her and nodded. She handed him a key to the room then waved to Varnis as the man made his way upstairs. "Be safe, Björn," She murmured to the Goliath as he headed outside. She was alone.

Ves looked around for a moment, then sneakily grabbed her abandoned mug of mead and finished it in a few gulps. Spotting Daggar grinning at her, she grinned sheepishly back before ascending the stairs to the second floor. Her vision blurred a little as she stumbled her way to the room that she and Björn would share. Although she fumbled with the key, she eventually managed and stepped into the well-furnished room.

Stripping out of her new dress, she carefully laid it over the back of a chair. She wouldn't wear it tomorrow. It wasn't suitable for an archer or a tracker. It wasn't really suitable for much other than looking pretty. She remembered the look in Björn's eyes as he gazed upon her and her cheeks reddened. She should have handled Varnis differently, she reflected with a light frown. But she couldn't change it now. All she could do was learn from the experience and keep moving forward.

Moving to the large bed, she climbed under the covers and made herself comfortable. The combination of alcohol and emotions made sleep easy and soon Ves had passed out.

*Dawn arose as Ursa found himself sleeping in the bed of their room, his leg sticking out the side of the bed due to the carpentry not being "Plus-sized". He had spent an evening in quiet prayer and meditation to his God, trying his best to fathom his mind. When he did return to the Tavern, Ves was already fast asleep. So, as silent as a mouse, Björn had crept into the bed beside her and settled down soon enough.*

*His weary eyes opened up to the sun pouring into the window and birds chirping in the trees. A strange sensation to the Barbarian. He was still trying to shake the feeling of his entrapment beforehand and in the midst of being half-asleep, even a tavern room can look like a cell... Especially to the Goliath.*

*He glanced over to Ves, his reminder of freedom and the progression. A small smile crept over his face for a moment. Slowly lifting her arm off of his hairless torso, mainly for fear of waking her, he slowly sat up and went over to the wash basin and wet his face and hai - oh wait, no hair on that head. Instead, he patted his face down with a towel and slipped his clothes on after giving them a preemptive sniff and finding the attire to be good enough for another day or so.*

*Looking at the Dress Ves had placed over the chair, he walked over and practised his folding on it. After a few minutes of annoyance and groggy-handed work, he had neatly folded the dress into a square shape; and not a crease in sight! Proud of himself, he grabbed some parchment and a quill before placing a small drawing (likened to that of a child's illustration) showing a large angry bearded man going downstairs to fetch food and water. A small 'x' was placed in the corner next to a shakily-written Björn. And with that, he descended the stairs.*
