The floor of the in wasn't particularly clean and a less jaded person would never have dreamed of sitting down on it, let alone laying down. But Aredhel wasn't traveling for pleasure, perhaps when her task was finished she would treat herself to a night in a room with rugs though a bathtub certainly appealed more to the elf at this very moment.<br/><br/>Aredhel wasn't sleeping, not really. It was more like a meditation she couldn't quite break on her own without enticement, in this case a grumpy barbarian bringing in the scent of morning with all it's delights. And a good thing it was too, took Aredhel's mind of the scent of grime that filled her nostrils otherwise, her eyelids twitching before they opened briskly to reveal ghastly clear, bright blue eyes that wandered over the ceiling before the woman rolled up to a sitting position.<br/><br/>Beneath her, a very large and thick blanket served as her usual mattress while she wore a simple white chemise. Her pale face turned to Xi as she without a word stood on her naked feet, sticking them into her boots as she walked over to the table where a bowl of water and a towel waited. Only as she pulled the chemise over her head did she speak.<br/>"Will we be able to break fast before we leave or do they not believe in early mornings here?"<br/>A shake of her head let loose the long, very straight strands of blue tinted black Aredhel tied up in a knot every night before she washed the remnants of her trance from her modest curves.
