The Green Dragon Inn - Part 10

[Maeggaladiel]

Eleniel patted the dog's head as Elkamia dressed his wounds with the contents of several vials. Eleniel was not a healer: that was not one of the gifts that her mother passed to her. She had no idea what the liquids were supposed to do to Arrow, but she trusted Elkamia.

"He'll sleep for a while, but I think he'll be fine. He'll be warm enough out here, I'm sure, with the horses around in here," the elf said as she finished. Arrow's eyes closed and he began to snore loudly almost immediately. Eleniel's mouth curved into a smile.

"Thank you very much," she said. "I wish there was something I could do to repay you for your help." She began to mentally scan the contents of her own pack, resting on a chair back in the Inn. She was a merchant collecting goods, for crying out loud. There had to be something in there that would serve as repayment.

Beside her, Arrow's legs began to make running motions as he chased some creature through a hazy dream. Eleniel laughed.

"So, what brings you to the Green Dragon, Lady?" she asked, turning back to Elkamia with a grin.

Roa chuckled at Galadel's generous offer. Thinking for a moment, and eyeing Toby catiously she made up her mind. "I think tea sounds like a good idea. And I believe there are some pastries available. I must confess to having a rather large sweet tooth," she said with a returning wink in her friend's direction.

Snaveling and Toby nodded and stood up and walked off in search of provisions. The newest member of their table excused himself as well. Roa followed him with her eyes as he crossed the room, taking note that his position provided an excellent veiw of their own table.

Brushin git aside, she turned to her confidant. "Well, my friend, we seem to be in a bit of a difficult situation. He seems to have no idea what that amulet means."

"Yes," said the elf-maid, "And it is perfectly fine for it to remain that way. For now we should do nothing but wait. It is really all we can do." Roa nodded. Silently she wondered what would become of her promise to Snaveling to bring him to her King. Surely she could not do so now, yet she had given her word. Sensing her distress, Galadel rested her hand on her arm and said, "Do not fear. I sense that in the end, all will be righted. For now enjoy yourself." Roa calmed under the elf's influence. Letting her mind rest, she smiled brightly as Snaveling and Toby returned with the promised items, and she was able to fully enjoy the sweets provided.
