"Then you two have little to worry about." Darren replied cheerily. They made it to a pub called the "Horse and Stick." With a knight riding a horse with a joust on the wooden sign. "This is it." Darren said to the other two. "Now it may be a bit... boisterous... when we get in there so uhhh, stick close okay?" He advised the two girls before he swung the door open. In front of them was a bustling inn with raucous laughter and drinking, probably not the best place to bring the girls but to him this was truly home. He shifted and weaved his way between the crowd, looking back to check if they stayed close. Darren made it to the counter and the burly barman attended straight away. "What can I get ya lad?" The moustached man asked. "Give me a special." He said, showing a pendant that was stuffed down his shirt the entire time. The man nodded and showed their way to a trap door in the floor. Darren awaited the others before leading them down to the cellar, where a tall, hooded man awaited.

She instinctively grabbed Duvessa's Hand as they walked to where Darren took them, She wasnt afraid of the place just a bit scared of the people who stared and just plainly looked mean. "So.. where exactly are you taking us?" She mused and folded her arms slightly kind of making a pout face. She remembered Duvessa Mention a bath and that made her smile big.. though she didnt know if there would be a bath in such a place as this.

"My home." Darren said to Clarity. The other man took down his hood which revealed his face, an old man with a long, wispy grey beard. "Darren where have you been!? Guards stormed the bar looking for a thief." The man said with disapproval, "and who are these two?" He asked, looking at the two women. "These are my friends, Nathaniel, I agreed to help them. The man looked them up and down, and with a sigh he finally gave a verdict. "They stay in your quarters." He said. "Thank you Nathaniel." Darren said, and lead Duvessa and Clarity to his room. It was big enough, with a bed and a hammock, which Darren and to unfurl first, accompanied by candlelight and a bookcase. "We can stay here for now." Darren said, then he turned to Clarity and crouched down. "The bed is all yours." He offered, then he looked up to Duvessa. "You can have the hammock."

Duvessa nodded and looked around for another bed for him, but could not see any. Her brows furrowed and she looked at him. "Where would you sleep?" she asked in a curious voice. She didn't want him to stay on the floor because of her. It was simply bad manners and, though she does not show it, she tries to be very mindful of her manners. She glanced at Clarity and smiled softly. As long as she had a place to sleep, Duvessa thought; then I guess it would be okay.

"You need not worry where I sleep Duvessa, if I do my part right then I won't be staying for too long at a time." Darren said, just when he showed them their temporary sleeping quarters, a women walked past the room, dressed in similar garb to Darren. "Ah, Janna." Darren said, grabbing her attention. "Can you show my friends to the bathhouse?" He asked. Janna nodded, "Of course, follow me." She said to Clarity and Duvessa, taking them to the bath house. Darren went through his book case once they left, researching items and essentials for teaching magic.

Clarity got fairly comfortable on the bed and smiled at them both the said "Duvessa can sleep with me and you can have the hammock" She said and frowned slightly when the woman appeared. She went with her to the bath house, because she was desperately in need of a one and maybe duvessa could help her get the parts she couldn't reach and if not that's what magic is for. She giggled to herself and thought about this place

Duvessa nodded and followed behind Clarity. She looked down at Clarity and smiled softly. "what are you thinking about, young one?" She remembered when she was that innocent, when the world hadn't shown its ugliness and shoved her in the middle of it.

Clairity smiled at duvessa and said "Only the wonders of this world and what its got planned for me" she said in a whimsical way that made her smile and hold tighter to her hand. SHe danced along the way to the bath house.

Duvessa giggled softly and joined the little girl in her dancing. It was so freeing and beautiful, the beauty behind innocence entranced her to the point of hypnosis. She was doing something playful and that astonished her. She smiled at Clarity and said "marvelous things, little one. Only marvelous things."

Janna opened up a door on the left, leading to a serene and quite bathroom. "Make yourself at home." She said with a smile, leaving the two to it. Janna went back to Darren. "Brother?" She asked in the doorway. She found her brother pouring over papers and books. "What are you up to?" She said, questioning her older brother. Darren looked up. "Helping, Janna. I owe them my life, and I'll be damned if I didn't pay them back." He stated, looking his sister seriously in the eye. "So be it, now if you don't mind I need to go see my husband." She said. "He's out isn't he?" Darren asked. Janna merely laughed. "My, my, you are serious. You haven't even paid attention." She joked with a smile. "Good luck brother." She said as she left. "You too Janna." He replied.
