Having fixed herself a mug of tea for her own, Laurie rested her elbows on the bar and warmed her fingers, grasping the cup close. The steam rose up and made her eyes tear from the heat, but it felt pleasant against her face and began to turn her cheeks a pinkish-red. There was a low murmer of the customers talking around her, filling her ears and soothing her soul. Laurie began to wonder where her paths would lead her and how long she would stay at this pleasant inn. She began to watch the motly assortment of peoples around her, wondering from whence they came and where they would be going...
To her suprise, Laurie noticed the young lady who had fallen asleep, enter the inn and walk towards the bar. She seemed to be searching for something, or someone. Laurie watched her approach with curiosity, and when the lady glanced in Laurie's direction, Laurie looked into her eyes, inviting her to come over is she wished.
