She sat with her back straight, her chin held high as he did his things, and then shook her head.  "I'm not sure either.  I do know it was naught but an amulet when I put it on, and then it turned into this, and I've been able to find no seam, no closure mechanism..."<br/><br/>She sighed, leaning forward to glance at the map.  She didn't know the town, but she knew the area well enough to be getting on.  She drew a deep breath, and nodded.  "Rest sounds amazing.  That was almost a days journey one way to the ruin, and not to mention a bit of a fight before I even found the amulet.  I confess...  I feel a bit drained with all the work I've done."  She took the map, tucking it carefully into her bag with a nod.  "I would, however, like that letter to him when I stop by in the morning."<br/><br/>Rising, she kissed the old man on the cheek and hugged him.  "I'll see you in the morning, Teacher.  Sleep well!"<br/><br/>Turning, she headed for the inn, one hand still messing with the collar, her brow furrowed slightly in concentration.
