"Yeah well i don't know how much of a good thing that is. I'm not scared of being alone I'm scared of... Well it doesn't matter" said Skylar.
Skylar walk over to the window and looked out.
"It'll be dark soon. You can stay the night if you like. There's not enough light to get anywhere but the village and it would be best if you didn't go there." She said looking from the window to Ryan.

She looked away. Then she looked back to him.
"It doesn't matter now would you like to stay or not. You will be safe here"

ryan chuckled softly and briefly. "my own safety isn't in question. tell me, what's in that town that makes you so scared?" he didn't want to drop it, because he wanted to help.

"Trust me you do not want to get me mad. DROP IT!" she replied. "Do you wanna stay or not?"

ryan sighed and nodded. "i'll stay... thank you..." he walked back for a chair, setting a few more of the opium roots on a table next to the old woman. "when that one is gone..." he sat on the ground next to the chair, finding it more comfotable. he leant right against the wall and closed his eyes, tired.

Pointing to the door to the bedroom Skylar said. "If you go through that door there there is a bedroom. You can stay there if you want. I won't be here tonight so I won't need it."

"I never said I was going to town. It doesn't matter where I'm heading but as long as you stay here you should be safe. The sheets on the bed are clean by the way. I've been sleeping on the floor out here. If my mother wakes please just give her some more of the drink in the pot. I'll be back later."
Then she turned and headed for the door.

She looked pver her shoulder at him and replied "I won't need to. I can take care of myself" and then she walked out of the door.
Outside she headed deep into the forest.

Silaithwein looked up at the dark sky and grumbled. She was at least three days late and quickly running out of food and water. Not that she couldn't collect water and hunt animals that is. She just preferred not to. She began to wander more deeply into the forest. Her map had said there was an ending somewhere. And maybe after that ending she would find people and a place to stay for the night. She didn't want to spend one more night in this damned forest. She halted suddenly and peered into the distance. Though she wasn't exactly sure she could swear that there was chimney smoke in the distance, or at least smoke from a campfire.
She began to move quicker, though keeping a cautious eye about the surroundings. She was so glued to her surroundings that she didn't even noticed the figure crouching down on the ground in front of her. "Damn!" she swore as she tripped over the figure and hit the ground.

Silaithwein jumped up and glared at the stranger, brushing leaves off of her cloak. "Maybe I should watch where I am going" she conceded. "Or maybe you should learn to use a lamp when crouching in the darkness! Now if you'd be so kindly as to tell me where the nearest inn is, I shall take leave of you."
