"It has been about 2 or so weeks ever since they raided our village, however, these bandits aren't your ordinary bandits... They're summons. A lady had attacked our village after my father and others within the village itself had decided not to pay debts to her, so she summoned soldiers from bandits all the way to mounted knights: Furthermore, with almost definite certainty, I can confirm that this lady is a Summoner... That's why I have brought a friend here all the way from Upper Mentia. I hope that you two can get along with each other, even though she has quite the knack and ominous presence, but she's a strong, nice gal. Anyways, we should start heading to bed to head out tomorrow morning: we don't want to be caught out in the dark too long, especially in parts like these."

*Mattheld finishes his meal and grabs a small bag of silver, enough to pay for not just his meal but Melody's meal as well as a bit extra for the waitress as a tip.*

"Please, Melody, allow me to give you my greatest thanksgiving for helping me find justice in this cruel world by at least paying for your food."

*The Mercenary thus whistles over the waitress, and hands her the bag of silver coins.*

"This should be enough for not only our meals, but a good tip for you, m'lady. I humbly thank you for showing us your greatest hospitality."

*Mattheld gets up from his seat of the booth into the isle and bows in front of the lady, tilting his upper body forward while keeping his arms and lower body straight. He then finishes his bow and walks up to Melody, awaiting to see if she is alright.*

"Well then. I also believe that we should wait until tomorrow until we plan out our strategy and tactics before we just barge into combat, if we can at all. My friend is just outside, however, I believe she has been keeping overwatch on us ever since we've been talking in here. Shall we head to an inn for some rest?"

"Oh, you don't have to do that... I-"*She soon found herself cut off as Mattheld began getting out of his seat to bow to her and speak his gratitude. Melody wanted to tell them that she wasn't really planning on eating much, though with him already spending the money, she seemed to be defeated on that debate.

She'd listen to him speak about his friend coming here to help out as well and how they should wait until tomorrow with the information he already had prior. Typically Melody wouldn't have mind going out in the wake of night, but with her knowing little of this person and where this trail would lead, she figured it would be best to continue things in broad daylight.*

"I would be glad to meet your friend."*She'd say, getting up and doing a light curtesy to him in response. It was much easier to do when in Macen form, though if she was a Centaur, she could have found a way.*"I think it would be best to get some rest while we can. I've already settled on paying for a room here for the night, so I'll be up and ready at first light or whenever you two feel it's best to set out."*Melody would give a light nod.*

"Great! Alright, then why don't we rest up for the night and get things started early and bright? I hope that we can finally see what is actually going on behind the scenes... Oh, Sarah!"

*Mattheld whistles for Sarah as he exits the door, giving her a curtesy himself. The crew thus heads off for the night, preparing themselves for the day to come.*
