The arena, in particular, interests me, since I’ve avoided it until now. Perhaps we should set out now. If we need to speak privately, I could make a mindlink for us. So, shall we head out? I need to make a shelter for the refugees first, but that should only take a few minutes.”</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Alyssa nods in agreement. "I concur. We'll have a much better chance of success with firsthand knowledge of the local power groups... and the local laws," she adds, remembering their confrontation with the inn staff the previous night.

On her way back to the foyer, it occurs to her that Jess and Takal have yet to show themselves this morning. She stops at the room of each to inquire as to their status, or to rouse them if necessary.<br/><br/>((Barring any intervention, Alyssa will leave with Mindy on Lerkur's next post.))
