[Amanaduial the archer]

Aman's gaze turned once more to the newcomer, and she briefly wondered whether she could throw her out. No, it was snowing, she wouldnt throw anyone out into the snow just for this. She just hoped the elf was just tired, and would calm down.

She caught Morwyn's eye, and the latter nodded slightly- Aman didn't want there to be trouble in her Inn, and Morwyn didn't want her friend to get involved with any trouble with murders. The gentle Beorning had already been accused of murder, and all of them could see it had hit her hard, as would be expected. Morwyn turned to Nahai and Annalalaith.

"Perhaps we should retire for the evening?" She suggested quietly to both of them. Annalalaith nodded quickly, and the shaking Nahai also agreed.

"Good night, Aman." Morwyn nodded to the young Innkeeper as she passed, and the other two followed.

"Yes, good night Aman."
"Aye, see you in the morning."
"Sleep well, all of you." Aman smiled to them as they passed and put down the glass she had been cleaning with a small clink. Then she looked back up to the elf Nanna who wandered the room. She steeled herself and went to talk to her.

"Do you intend to stay the night, Nannaliel?" She asked politely. The elf turned, then sighed and shook her head.

"Nay, I think not. I will continue my search for Odo Draggins, I think."

"We do not wish for any trouble in these parts." Aman's voice had a slight edge to it now. The elf looked sharply at her, then inclined her head.

"Good night, Innkeeper." Aman nodded back, then the elf turned and went back out of the Inn, putting on her cloak from where it had hung on the door. She smiled her odd smile at Aman briefly, then left into the snow.

Aman watched her go, then had to force herself not to sigh with relief. She didnt want someone like that stirring up trouble with talk of murders and murderers, especially not when she had accused one of the other customers of being such. Turning back into the room, she surveyed the room's thinning population- it was getting dark and as it did so many of the people staying in the Inn were retiring to bed and others were leaving the other dwellings nearby before it got too late. She hoped they wouldn't have trouble on the road, for the snow was getting heavier now. Aman dismissed it though- it was unlikely to get too heavy.

"One hour and those not staying may like to get off to wherever else they're staying before it gets to dark and too snowy." She announced to the room at large. Her announcement was greeted by a few murmerings and looks in her way, and a few vague smiles by some of those in the Inn who had obviously had a few too many. Looking around, she saw the woman who had come in earlier, her cloak still up over her head, still alone at an isolated table. She had taken a liking to the woman, mysterious as she may have seemed, and Aman decided to go and talk to her. Keeping herself to herself was fine, but it was likely that she might have a few tales of her own to tell, and there was nothing better for a wet night.
