<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/8b/Scarred_Redhead_Warrior.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Cat (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=340173.msg16121430#msg16121430) (Tirmaethril Andtirnen)<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong> Her armour, the snarling cat-head pendant, a light sheen of travel-dirt, and a faint aroma of horse<br/><strong>Condition:</strong> Tired, hungry, thirsty, and delighted to be in such a fabulous centre of civilisation... though now increasingly perturbed<br/><strong>Location:</strong> The taproom of the Prancing Pony<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong> Everyone who might be interested!<br/><hr/><br/>Abandoning her barely-sampled meal was certainly not an appealing prospect.  Cat had been looking forward to finding out just what hospitable delights this beacon of civilisation might have to offer a weary traveller, and what she had seen (and smelled) of Barliman's creations had certainly not disappointed.<br/><br/>But if the underclad elf's lupine friend had indeed alerted him to something amiss at the stables, then that might mean that her own travelling companion was in trouble.  She could trust Fastross to handle himself against most threats he might encounter in Rhudaur - but rather by defintion, running away was unlikely to be a viable option when her shaggy steed was closed up in a stable-block.<br/><br/>With a sigh, she pushed herself to her feet and passed her food to Barliman.<br/><br/>"I shall be back for that.  It smells far too enticing to abandon!", she assured him, before moving to follow in the wake of immense blond figure and his white guardian.  Just in case, she loosened her sword in its scabbard, rolling her shoulders a little.  Bree should surely be far too safe and settled a place for raiders to have struck... but firing a stable-block <em>was</em> the sort of preliminary to an attack that she might have expected back home.<br/><br/>Now, it seemed like it might be a very good thing indeed that she had not yet relaxed sufficiently to remove either armour or armaments.<br/></div>
