While good word was spreading, Lualin was preparing the mermaid's body.  Severing the head, she put it on a pike before the mayor's door, not to intimidate, no, but so she could see for herself that the 'problem' had been eliminated... with extreme prejudice.  The rest of the body was burned, with the aid of her magic to boot, and with the assistance of others would result in the ashes being sown into the earth.  Might as well do some good for the world instead of terrorizing it, she figured.<br/><br/>It was only then that she followed Ilm to the tavern to meet her lover Relon, and seeing their excitement at seeing one another... well, it made Lualin smile.  Eilistraee would be proud of her, she just knew it.  The coin satchel was just a tangible topping to that sense of fulfillment, and she quickly pocketed it.<br/><br/>"Thank you, seeing you two so happy to see one-another... that's thanks enough to me.  The coin too of course." she said, winking at the barkeep "Though I would greatly appreciate a room too; I would enjoy a place to rest for the night, especially since I'm expecting our mutual 'friend' as a visitor, if he wants his blade back of course."<br/><br/>That said, she knew that if she HADN'T done that to the paladin, then perhaps the demoness would not have fled so.  Had she controlled her temper, and he shown more humility and respect... she'd make it up to him though, and she had a good idea in mind...
