Upon walking into the inn, Verena was immediately hit with the rancid smell of other people swarming around. Her isolation in the woods had pampered her- nature was fairly quiet and filled with pleasant odours. The inn, on the other hand, was a rude awakening from the peaceful forest. Normally, she would’ve camped on the outskirts of the town as long as she was there, but she’d been feeling particularly wary lately, and enjoyed the security that other people’s presence brought. A scuffle might break out, but she highly doubted she’d be attacked in public.<br/><br/>With a bit of effort, she managed to make her way through the sparse crowd and haphazardly positioned tables. Surprisingly, her trouble navigating the inn was mostly stemming from her isolation and inexperience with people than her rather diminutive height.<br/><br/>Leaning against the counter and ever so slightly boosting herself up, Verena had a short conversation with the innkeep. It was quickly apparent that renting a room for the night wouldn’t be an issue as long as she wasn’t particularly rowdy, and money changed hands after another short discussion regarding the placement of the room and the expectations that came with the act of renting it. Verena adjusted the bag that held her weapons and her other things uncomfortably, falling back onto her heels as soon as she’d broken eye contact with the inn keep.  Even just the short conversation and being in the inn had tired her out.<br/><br/>Dismissing the thought of obtaining some manner of food and drink quickly, Verena shuffled in the direction of the rooms, pausing occasionally to listen to clippets of conversations she heard. About to turn the corner into the hallway where her room rested, Verena paused. She was easily able to overhear two voices discussing the fortification of their room at the inn, and she peeked around the corner to get a look at the sources of the two voices.<br/>Upon seeing Tarkus and his incredible height, Verena hastily pulled herself back around the corner. Maybe she would just wait here for a bit, at least until the two of them had left.
