| Collapsed on a seat, tired from the long journey. She was longing for a soft, warm bed, could hardly think of anything else at the moment. Even the food in front of her wasn't attractive enough to keep her beside the table. Looked around wearily, her eyes heavy, body tired and soul empty... Dead empty.
She cast a goodbye-smile at the two, nodded her head and took the creeping stairs up to her room.
Who the hell are these? she was wondering. During the past three days she spent with them they didn't speak much. They definitely looked like adventurers, but were in a very bad state whe she found them near that monastery. Lucky she'd found them, before the monks did, she thought... Two half-dead adventurers against those twisted folks... Who knows what would've happened if they were taken into that cursed place! Why did I have to take them with me? These are complete strangers...
Anyway, she gave them the little food she had and some drink, that was enough to give them strength for the three-days journey to the inn.
She untied her long, shiny black hair, put out the flickering light of the small oil lamp, changed into her night gown and laid down on the bed. They could've died of starving...
After all, it was a good deed, she thought. Another cross upon the chart.
Saved their lives, took them here, and tomorrow everyone will be on his way. The tutors of the Tower will be pleased, she thought. I couldn't care less she added sarcastically. I don't even know their names...
