Ahmaht giggled at Sigrun's apparent amusement with the piece of paper. "Having fun?" he asked sarcastically. He was prepared for the retort of him reading the paper ridiculously, although he had a reason. The colorful knight just looked like she was trying to amuse herself. At the mention of being unable to speak, Larea looked uncomfortable and stared at the floor. He looked at Sigrun as if expecting an answer before reaching out and gently touching Larea on the shoulder. He couldn't formulate anything intelligent or comforting to say, so he kept his mouth shut. He looked over at Sigrun again.<br/><br/>After a few minutes, Ahmaht drew his hand back. As he did so, the inn door opened, and the stranger from earlier walked in, looking like he would rather be left alone. Ahmaht arched an eyebrow at him, but otherwise did not acknowledge him. "Were you born mute?" he asked Larea quietly, hoping not to offend the  girl further.
