"You haven't even begun to understand who I am," she said, her voice cracking. "This..." She sighed, putting her head in her hands. "I would give anything not to be here right now," she said, a tear falling from her eye. She was so distracted she didn't notice that the bar had emptied and a tall, grizzled, grey-haired man was walking over till he coughed. "Paeter?" she asked, looking up and trying to smile as he hugged her. "I feel like I've been away too long."<br/><br/>"You're a ranger," Paeter said, smiling at her. "I would never assume my inn is more important than your forest." He turned to the other two, bowing deeply. "My name is Paeter Magnusson, this is my tavern, you are welcome to stay here as long as you require." He shot a cheeky grin at Ariadne. "I'm surprised you don't have a beautiful wo-" He stopped, regretting the words coming out of his mouth too late as Ariadne turned and stormed towards the back of the bar, causing him to sit down and sigh. "Twenty years I've known her and I still know how to say the wrong thing at the worst possible moment." He turned to them. "Unless one of you is brave enough to make sure she's alright I would be interested to know what brings you here, Nathan may be too innocent to know what Ariadne is asking for, but I know she only asks directly for me when she feels I have information that can help."
