Not elite sorts of anything? Sent on orders of the church, rather than the Royal family? That was somewhat disappointing, but it would make no difference if they could get him to Neravas.<br/><br/>Because of the fire-headed woman from earlier, a commotion had stirred up at the inn. Apparently she'd stolen the owner's amulet. Riu could sympathize. If some woman had seduced him and taken his scarf, he would be just as desperate for assistance. ...But wait, he was still a kid, so he hardly had to worry about seductive women approaching him. What was this stupid adult doing? Served him right.<br/><br/>Ah, seemed the innkeeper wanted Sigrun's help in apprehending the thief. Like hell Riu was going to give that order. First, none of his business. Second, Learin thought so too. Third, nobody needed to know the knight was under his command. Fourth, Ahmaht was already on it. Fifth, this lady might be dangerous...<br/><br/>As he was still tallying off all the reasons he had not to order Sigrun to give chase, Ahmaht left and returned, giving it for him. Well, if Sigrun was going, so was Learin. Larea was obligated to follow as well.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"We'll be back after we catch the culprit, I suppose,"</span>Learin said to him.<br/><br/>"Of course, not," Riu said for anyone listening in. "How can I let teacher and Miss Knight go alone?" Translation: Moron. I can't be separate from my bodyguard. I'm coming too.<br/><br/>Through their collaborative search effort, the group sighted the thief at the outskirts of town, and gave chase as she ran into the woodlands.
