Fabien knew there was no logical reason that he should be on edge. It was just an inn, after all, filled with people like him. People who just wanted to sit down and have a nice hot meal brought to him, who needed a place to stay, to grab a quick drink to quench a thirst. He knew there was nothing to fear but he still couldn't shake something being off about it all. A feeling that constantly made him want to look over his shoulder and check his surroundings. He knew it, his father had trained him, he knew how many people were in the inn, he knew how many steps from the door he was, how many steps to the stairs. It was all the information he had taken in upon arrival.<br/><br/>The woman was persistent, he had heard that people in the city never stopped or slowed for anyone. Was it really that rare for someone to return a lost possession? Rare enough to merit some sort of reward? She shook his hand and then turned towards the counter and ordered them both some food before he could object. He ran his fingers through his hair as he watched the women she had ensured that he stayed with that. As it would be rude to decline her further.<br/><br/>He nodded "Dinner would be nice, a dinner made by someone else even more welcome, plus someone new to talk to will be a real treat after all" He replied, he wasn't sure if she was a lady or not. Perhaps people knew her and turning down some sort of meal would mean disrespect for her? That name sounded like something else, along with her clothes, her skin, even her smell. He knew she had to be someone of importance or even some wealth...<br/><br/>As uneasy as he felt here he didn't let it show on his features. His father had taunted him one day while hunting. A great beast stared them both down and his father told him to control his fears and his emotions and not to move. If he was scared then the animal would attack if he was calm then the animal would be calm. He pushed his son forward and fear had taken him, the animal had stirred and a low growl ripped through its throat.  "Be calm son" He heard the words as he heard it now, calming, staying in the void that blocked out such emotions, the animal had not attacked him that day.<br/><br/>He followed the woman up to her room, he was happy to get away from the main room. Happy to get away from that unsettling feeling that had been creeping along within him. Once he entered the room he asked what he had been wondering since meeting her. "I'm not from around here, I'm just a simple farmer I'm not in front of a noble or royalty am I?"
