A twinge of doubt tugs at her as she recalls the dense legal writing on the loan forms, and she wonders if the registrar might not be adding some obscure charges already.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~... I'll ask Sen to prepare a payment,~</span>she says, edging towards a more urgent tone, before shifting her focus to the mind of her goblin companion.<span style="font-style: italic">~Sen? When you reach the inn, could you please gather the Heodo and Gamol spoils together? We'll need to use some of them to cover our arena costs- at least five hundred gold marks' worth. Try to saave the locked chests for last, unless you're quite sure they're safe to open...~</span><br/><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Rihyan wrote:</cite><span style="font-style: italic">~Though wasn't there a reason we came here in the first place?~</span></div></blockquote><br/>Alyssa nods in agreement to Rihyan.<span style="font-style: italic">~Now that we have access to the lower levels, we should begin searching for Sashi immediately. Anyone else willing to register can join us, or check the upper levels in case she found her own means of escape. As for the arena matches themselves... we'll try to sign up for the late afternoon, to give us more time to search. With any luck, we'll find Sashi with time to spare- she can't have gone too far, and we have a trail to follow. Speaking of which...~</span><br/><br/>Shifting her attention towards her huskygirl companion, she adds,<span style="font-style: italic">~Jess? Are there any signs of Sashi or the white-haired woman below?~</span>
