The room was small and sparsely furnished.  Erina opened the wooden shutter and gazed out at the sky, now blanketed with stars.  Reaching up to pluck a pearl tipped hat pin from her hat she removed it and held it out through the open window, giving it a shake to remove dust from the day's travel.  Placing the feathered hat on the sill she removed her gloves and leaned out of the window to give them too a good shake, tapping them together to dislodge dust and dirt.  With a sigh she took the the hat and ran her fingertips idly over the ostrich plume as her mind considered this unfortunate deviation from her well thought out plan to give aid to the King.<br/><br/>The driver had left to tend to the horses and would later bring her luggage.  Hunger gnawed at her, however, with a thorough look in the tavern downstairs, the inhabitants gave her pause to going down unescorted for her evening meal.  Placing the grey velvet hat on a small wooden dresser Erina turned with a deep breath and placed her hands on her hips.  She was restless.  Having been cooped up in a carriage all day has left her with energy and no way to spend it.  She began pacing the length of the room which took a remarkably short amount of time.  Turning at the wall she retraced her steps.  Over and over again she did this.  Her mind turning over the best altered plans to achieve her goal.<br/><br/>She decided to find an alternative driver first thing in the morning should her current driver be unsuccessful in repairing the wheel by mid-day.  One thing was certain, she could not tarry in this village for long.  The information she had discovered must reach the ear of the King post haste.  Finally Erina returned to the window.  Enjoying the sensation of the cool evening breeze across her face and neck brought a small smile to curve her lips.  She felt some relief from having formed a reasonable plan to complete her mission in a timely manner.  Erina felt certain nothing else could possibly go wrong.
