I shall go ask the gentleman to allow me to stay in the suite until there is another room available. Thank you for rechecking for me. I'll let you know later when I come back down for a bit of dinner." Rosewoode picked up her saddle bags and walked over to the stairs and walked up. She looked about for the suite then took a very deep breath. She slowly sat the saddle bags down next to herself. Before she knocked, Rosewoode paused to think for a minute.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">~What if I happen to find out later that this guy is an alcoholic or worse wants more than what I want to give or have even. What kind of a man would want to have a whole suite to himself? Perhaps it was the last room? I'll just have to go by gut instinct, I suppose. Ir worse comes to worse, I can doze while sitting at a table. It's not like that I haven't slept on Stormy before. How ever, it most likely be safer to sleep on poor old Stormy than to sleep in a chair for the night..... Well, let's get this over with.~  </span> Rosewoode knocked on the door firmly.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><br/><br/>Inside the large room meant for group guests Gensho was sitting at a table writing in his journal and meditating on past events that he read in his previous entries. Surrounding the immediate area of the desk were several books he had brought along in his travels. The lantern flickered a few times, Gensho then filled it with a little more oil. It was getting late and the storm outside was not letting up. The mighty winds howled and the windows creaked. He could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching from down the hallway. It made a halt at his door and he then heard a firm knocking. Getting up from his desk he went to see who it was.<br/><br/>He opened the door to find a young woman standing there.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #008000">" Yes?"</span></span>he said discreetly. He wondered why someone would be knocking at this hour since many of the guests seemed to have gone to bed. His mind suddenly made a rash conclusion.<span style="color: #008000"><span style="font-weight: bold">" Oh... Pardon me Miss, this one does not recall asking for such services from the Innkeeper. "</span></span>he said a little awkwardly.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>keyootee wrote:</cite><div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px"><div class="quotetitle"><input class="button2 btnlite" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';      this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }" style="text-align:center;width:100px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" type="button" value="Show"/></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Verleen sighed, so it would be a couple of days before the person who put up the flier for the quest would be back. So what was  she going to do until then? She couldn't imagine being bored, she was the kind of person who befriended people quickly. Though it seemed she lost her friends just as. Mostly, the people who had been traveling with her found other things to do, it had nothing to do with her personality that they left her. <br/>"So how much is a room? I hope that the owner of this inn isn't going to toss me out on such a cold day! But I am pretty prepared for coldness. Adventuring does make you want to carry things that you may need for every occasion."<br/>She noticed the tender didn't comment on her chattiness, he must be used to people who talked a lot because of his profession. As she glanced at the faces, none of them really stood out to her at the moment. She wondered who else was here for the quest. She couldn't be the only one could she? She was hoping for someone who would last longer than the people she had traveled with in the past. A constant companion would be nice. Even though she avoided having a relationship with a man, a small hidden part of herself wanted something. Though maybe not love. <br/>"I'm not too sure what I'm going to do for that time. I guess I should of noticed the date. Humm with me things could never be too boring."<br/>She gave the tender a wink, sipping the ale that was in her cup musing of what the future held. She could use some excitement. She had a good feeling that this quest would bring her what she wanted. Though she was usually an optimist about things. But sometimes reality got in the way.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><br/><br/>" Hmmm... Allow me to make some inquiries as to what is available." the servant said going back to the Owner and asking him. He came back with rather unfortunate news. " It would seem that all rooms are unavailable miss... our sincerest apologies. However there is a gentleman on the third floor who rented a Group Suite. I was just informed that another guest has gone to inquire about sharing the rent and room. The Owner says he'd be delighted if you would like to board in with her since two women would be much more.... reassuring to him than one alone." he concluded.<br/><br/>" If you choose to do so your first night here is free he says!" he added.
