Lorand let out a sigh of relief as he learned that Amelia had only tried to help the girl. For once, he was actually silently proud of the fairy for just trying to help someone without her inner role-player getting in the way of things. Not only that, but since the girl was unharmed, hopefully that other girl would calm down soon enough. He then looked at Amelia and responded to her question:

"Oh, I was simply trying to get some information on my own for a bit. I had figured we could get information faster if we split up."

In reality though, this was simply his excuse for not saying "I wanted to get away from you." It's not so much that he hated the fairy, in fact he actually did rather like her, it was just that he was a rather passive person who didn't do very well around people with a personality like Amelia's. He had always used to be a player who simply did everything on his own if he could, and only partied up for content that couldn't truly be soloed. While this made him great at working by himself or even playing his role in a party, he was never very social. Then he overheard Melia's comment about a place to sleep, and had an idea.

"I think I know a few places we could stay. Hell, I have enough excess gold to pay for anyone who doesn't have enough money to stay a night at at an inn. I know of a rather nice one that could fit us all in at a town not far from here."

Lorand didn't really care if they accepted his offer or not, he just wanted to sleep now. From the angry girls trying to beat up merchants to get information about her sister to literally being transported inside of a video game, today had been enough for Lorand. He decided that if they didn't follow him, he'd just go to one of the very nice, extravagant, and expensive inns that most of them couldn't afford and have himself a nice, relaxing time. Besides he had gotten ideas of things he could do tomorrow when he looked at the minimap, and wanted to be very well rested.
