<span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&lt;Inside the Singing Donkey&gt;&gt;</span><br/><br/>The delicious scent of breakfast cooking wafts upstairs, rousing those who were still asleep. It was a rarity to get such a wonderful night's sleep, especially after such a tramatic event. Yet, all would awake feeling refreshed and energized - especially Sherani and Calia, who'd enjoyed a full night of digesting their unfortunate prey. It was a wonderful feeling, waking after a night with a filled belly. Not to mention, the knowledge that - at least for a couple of days - they'd not have to worry about food was a pleasant one. Even so, the breakfast cooking downstairs smelled delicious, and was more than enough to rouse just about anyone's appetite.<br/><br/>Those who were up first would be pleasantly surprized upon opening their doors - small bowls of lukewarm water had been placed upon tiny stands outside, along with accompanying cloth. The establishment offered only a single bath area, and it would take a great deal of time to fill, drain, and refill. No doubt, the kindly old barkeeper had taken it upon himself to at least provide some small amount of morning hygiene, in the form of the wash-bowl and washrag. Every door had one outside, and was certainly more than enough to provide quite a nice scrub-down to those who wanted it.<br/><br/>((My apologies for the long wait on chapter one! Now, it is kicked off and under way! I'd meant to post when i had the short-story that was accompanying it finished, but i wanted to get it up. As such, i'll just post it when it is done. Also, apologies for the wall of text.  ))
