Laurie was suprised when another figure, sitting rather close by but in the shadows where her blue eyes had missed, stood up and answered her greetings. She stumbled out some kind of reply to the lady's answers and in her confusion barely heard her say she was soon to be leaving the inn. Laurie made a small curtsy in reply as the lady bowed her head and left, and then she turned her blue eyes back to the lady she had originally addressed. Obviously thrown off, Laurie searched for the words with an embarrassed laugh.
"Um, is there anything I can do for you?"
