<span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&lt;Inside the Singing Donkey&gt;&gt;</span><br/><br/><br/>Things have finally calmed down. The two remaining patrons listens to the rousing speech given by Lilium, but neither of them look incredily eager or ready to join in and bring the fight to Lesik.<br/><br/>Mirana looks pale, and shakes visibly when Spike brings the body of the old cook, enshrouded in a cloak, up to the bar area. She does everything in her power to keep her mind focused off of the carnage - and instead listens to Lilium. They wanted her...for something? She appears to sink deeply into thought...Until Undol's little voice pipes up on her shoulder, a look of total shock and surprize crossing her face.<br/><br/>"You...you want to fight this guy? Undol...but...you..." She whispers nervously to him, taking a quick glance around the bar "...But you don't KNOW these people..what if..." Her voice drops so low even he has trouble hearing her "...what if...i just...don't want anything to happen to you." Never once does she bring up his size. That was something she'd learned...had not really put much of a dent in his ability to defend himself. And her.<br/><br/>"Rest..." she whispers, looking at Spike. She tries desperately to smile, but the one she manages is faltering at best "...Thanks for trying..." She whispers, looking at the enshrouded body...then away again.<br/><br/>"Rest is sounding good...Maybe...yea...maybe Vincent will let me rest here for a while..."<br/><br/>Overhearing Mirana's words, Vincent peers up at her from Calia's table "Stay here? My girl, i insist...won't be safe for you alone. I'll see if i can hire some folks to watch the place...hopefully prevent a repeat of tonight..." He taps a finger against his chin thoughtfully, waggling his bushy mustache.<br/><br/>Mirana sighs in thanks "...Rest is sounding really good....i just...don't want to leave you alone down here..." She gives a suspicious look at Sherani and Lilium...then even throws one at Ureck "...Just in case..." The look of suspicion becomes one of slight guilt, and Mirana sighs, her ears drooping "..who am i kidding..." She whispers to Undol, thought she brightens at the affectionate touch to her cheek "...They protected me. Protected us...i doubt they would...you know...eat you after that."<br/><br/><br/><br/>((Next post will include EXP, and a detailed rundown of the loot that has been recovered. ))
