He could almost here her voice telling him to be a gentleman regardless if she was an Aes Sedai or a Queen. He cleared his throat, surprised still "You don't have to leave, but if you'd like to stretch your legs maybe the two of us could go to the Inn and play a game of stones or talk a while yet. Or if there is something you would rather do instead please let me know? You just caught me off guard you understand, it's not something I expected." The smile returned to his face as he tried to encourage her.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<div class="floatright">(http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1235/verew.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/511/verew.jpg/)</div><br/>The Innkeeper standing before Sylvia was grey haired and had a wide body with a stained apron over it. As she spoke he looked surprised, most likely because she claimed to be accepted but possibly for some other reason. He smiled back at her for a long moment and nodded, having decided on a course of action.<br/><br/>He rubbed his hands on his apron before speaking to her "I am Brandelwyn al'Vere, the innkeeper here and Mayor of Emond's Field. You are of course welcome young woman. I wouldn't take advantage of you negotiating while you are still fresh from the road, my wife would not let me hear the end of it. We can talk of such matters later." He reached under the counter and took out an apple, it seemed to be in good condition his smile broadening as he put it on the counter beside her two silver coins, clearly not intending to take anything from the young woman yet. "Everyone calls me Bran."<br/><br/>As to whether he believed that she was soon to be Aes Sedai or trying to pull a joke on him was hard for her to tell. Still he had answered her politely and appeared in no rush as of yet to do business, that could be dealt with later.
