Alysta woke up sometime later with some pains shooting through her spine. She groaned and stretched it out just as her companion awoke. "Hungry now?" she asked the dire wolf. He simply growled in reply and padded over to her side. She stood and walked over to the door. "Shall we hunt, or go to the tavern?" She stuck her head out to check the weather. It seemed nice but she could smell the rains on the wind. "Tavern it is, then." she grinned. She and Jethro walked down the streets again. They were an odd site and often gawked at, especially by the young ones. Jethro was almost as tall as she was in her human form. She didn't care though, since it was nice to have the huge protector with her wherever she went. It made her jobs a lot easier during the day.<br/><br/>They finally arrived at the rundown pub. Alysta could smell the ale and food instantly, and it became even more appealing as they neared the entrance. It was loud and busy already, seeming packed with the drunks and lechers so early in the night. She could see one man trying to persuade a woman to come home with him.  She sighed and walked over to the bar, deciding to sit at the end where Jethro wouldnt be squished. She noticed Akir and Orin almost instantly. She decided to wait and see how they reacted to her presence.
