The traveller moved toward the hall, glancing back toward the female he had bumped into, making sure she wasn't looking at him. To his great surprise, she was not an elf as he had previously thought, but a human! How could he have mistaken her as one so easily?
Not knowing her name, and at the moment, not caring, he did not speak aloud to her...or to anyone else for that matter. His boots clanked along the floorboards, kicking off cakes of hardening mud. He reached his room (what he hoped to be it) and turned the knob. Before stepping in, however, he looked back into the diner and made sure that he was there or not. Seeing that he had not arrived, the traveller stepped into his room for a night's rest, closing the door behind him with a slam.
