<span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&lt;Inside the Singing Donkey&gt;&gt;</span><br/><br/>Rak almost seems dissapointed when Ureck gives his belly one last little rub, and gets to his feet, taking his rubbing hands with him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Awww..."</span>Lilium hears her familiar's voice in the back of her mind, sounding utterly dissapointed with the removal of his belly rubber.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Vincent gives Sherani a little nod of his head "Git'y'self a bitta' sleep, girl. I'll be up t'th'wee hours cleanin'...I'll holler if somethin' goes wrong." He assures her, giving her a few flicks of his hand as if to further shoo her onwards to a bit of well-deserved sleep. When Sherani finally stumbles her way up the stairs, gurgling belly in tow...Vincent gives Ureck a salty little wink, and a faint chuckle mingled with his words "I dunno, boy. I'd take t'girl up on'er offer. Jus' careful wha'y'do with 'er mind all as-is from drinkin', eh? Though, if y'want a room by yerself..." He digs around in his apron, withdrawing a key that nearly perfectly matches the first, except instead of a '4' carved upon it...the key clearly shows '2'.<br/><br/>Vincent places the key on the counter right in front of Ureck, nodding his head "...Nice an' warm in 'er bed, i bet..." He gives Ureck one final little wink, then turns his attention to the Spike and Lilium.<br/><br/>"Mm? Another room?! Course, boy! This is m'last free one...Miss Lilium, y'welcome to stay in your current room, free of charge. Here y'go, Spike." Another key is withdraw, and the kindly Innkeeper tosses it to Spike, a brief smile playing on his face "...Y'two get t'know each other, eh? Room 7."  With his final obligation met, the old Innkeeper begins to bustle around behind the bar, cleaning up a few misplaced items here and there. Thinking better of it, he slips into the kitchen and closes the back door, locking it...then double-checking the lock. Seemingly satisfied, the aged man begins to get a few cleaning items ready - hopefully, enough to get the Inn in a half-way livable condition before the night was done.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Mirana's ears perk slightly at Lilium's offer "Oh? Um...I...well..." she looks at the Kitsune for a few long moments, a thoughtful expression plastered on her beautiful little face. Her gaze shifts from the Kitsune...to her companion on the floor a few feet away, who just now was starting to get to his feet. Or, trying to. Having a 280 pound gnoll in one's belly, even for a fox that was abnormally large like Rak...was certainly someone to weigh one down. After a few rolling attempts, he finally manages to get his feet beneath him, and struggles to his feet 'Mrf..." He calls in discomfort. Apparantly, the floor was starting to become quite comfortable.<br/><br/>Even so, he begins to lazily stroll past Mirana and Undol....and dreges his way up the stairs, one at a time...and going very...very slowly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Mmrf...yea...I'll protect them. So full...just wanna sleep now...mmm....gnoll is tasty..."</span>His voice whispers drowsily in Lilium's head, as if he were on the brink of just keeling over and going to sleep. Likely, he was.<br/><br/><br/>"What...um...do you think, Undol? You okay with that...?" She murmurs, looking suspiciously at the fox "...She said it would be okay....Or...just by ourselves?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>((Sorry for the brief update. Going to let everything quieten down for the night. Let everyone get the rest of their talking done, then i'll tally up the gained loot and Nutrions. Off to a great start, everyone! ^_^ Sorry my posts have been a smidge lacking in the past couple of days. Going to start stepping the notch up again! Next major update (Unless something else is needed from me before i get it wrote up), should likely include a short story detailing the going-ons. Just for entertainment purposes. :3 Anywho, next update is going to take just a bit! ^_^))
