Estelarion cleaned Menelduliniel's wounds in the room none-too-gently. He seemed to think that his gruffness would punish her for her fighting. The two went back downstairs and saw Barak.
"How is Mara?" Menelduliniel asked Barak.
"I believe she'll live," Barak said, cracking a smile.
The other two sat down at the bar. Menelduliniel apologized to the Innkeeper, who was surprisingly kind about their fight. Menelduliniel kept apologizing each time she saw the Innkeeper, until it was obvious that the woman was growing quickly tired of Menelduliniel's apologies.
Menelduliniel and Estelarion finally ordered ales and sat next to Barak, enjoying the peace and bustle that had once again returned to the quiet Inn...
