(http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv110/jelly_beanjlw/Sarai.jpg)<br/><br/>Sarai was left quite befuddled, the newcomer’s departure so quick that it barely left her time to think. A quick look back at Sil and she realized she wasn’t the only one left confused in the wake of the interesting interruption. Both women seemed to stand there for a moment, lost in their own bewilderment before Sil shook her head and continued on. But not before Sarai’s curiosity of Sil was further peeked. She saw a glimpse of the tip of her ear. Normally she would have never thought twice, but against the pale blond color of her hair is appeared bruised and misshapen. Or, rather, misshapen compared to what Sarai was accustomed to when it came to ears.<br/><br/><em>"Errr. Oh right, the inn!"</em><br/><br/>Sarai jumped at the sudden words and then began to laugh at her own silliness. It was so easy for her recently to become so very lost in thought that when the real world continued on, she was startled.<br/><br/><em>"We should go talk to Holstis about getting you lodged there before you start your classes ... Besides, he owes me a couple of favors."<br/></em><br/>“Wonderful!”<br/><br/>Sarai clapped her hands together before turning and glancing back at the welcoming Inn. She felt as if she’d made a friend and was pleased. Though, she wasn’t quite sure how much she could tell her friend.<br/><br/>“Though, I won’t be starting classes immediately ...”<br/><br/>She didn’t finish the thought. Truth being, she wasn’t sure exactly what she was going to do in The City. Freedom was a sweet tasting thing, she would love to keep it. There were many things she wouldn’t be able to explain were she to attend classes right away.<em>‘I need control ... first.’</em><br/><br/>“... I’d like to experience The City itself for awhile.”<br/><br/>She nodded to the Inn and gestured to the now heavy pack across her shoulder.<br/><br/>“Shall we? I’d like to stow my things away before going any farther.”
