Once Lycoris and the princess had separated, the town seemed to return to normal, or at least wherever Lycoris walked.  A few of them gave her confused looks, but it seemed none of them had noticed who it was that was walking with the princess earlier, though with Alinia's rather distracting outfit, it was hard to blame them.  Finding an inn in the town was easy enough, as it seemed that it had become a stop on a recently-finished trade route between two larger cities.  It was still growing, but there would be a decent selection of taverns and inns to stay at, ranging from large, luxurious rooms made for wealthy merchants and their servants, all the way to dingy hovels whose only redeeming factor was the cheap price, and nearly everything in between.<br/><br/>As she searched around, Lycoris started to hear some of the townspeople whisper excited rumors to each other.  They all had a different take on events, nearly all of them were about "some elven whore" going around town.
