[row][cell][sub]Location: Eye of the Beholder[/sub][/cell][/row][/table]Nyla blinked, momentarily taken aback by the transformation the blight had wrought on the innkeeper’s appearance. A petite woman with a large singular eye that stared back at her, and a serpent's tail adorned shimmering blue scales to match. Nyla had seen the grave effects of blight before, but this felt profound for someone who seemingly still clung to their humanity. 

For a fleeting moment, she couldn’t help but marvel at how comfortable this woman seemed to be in her new form. Her tail swayed to the Aldrick’s music and the aura around her emanated with positivity. She was confident, even playful, as if she had long since accepted the cards that had been dealt to her. 

[color=DBA73D]“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sya.”[/color] She said, quickly recovering, her practiced smile slipping back into place—as though nothing about Sya’s appearance had fazed her. The art of smiling through any situation had always been one of her strengths. [color=DBA73D]“I’m Nyla. Nyla Zafira.”[/color]

As Sya pulled out a map of the rooms, Nyla leaned slightly closer, taking in the options as they were presented. Her eyes skimmed the map, her brows briefly furrowing as she considered her choices. After a moment, she tapped her finger lightly on the map at room #1. [color=DBA73D]“I’ll take this one,”[/color] she said, raising her gaze to meet Sya’s. [color=DBA73D]“Thank you.”[/color]

Straightening, she glanced briefly through the lively tavern, her gaze naturally drawn to Aldrick, still performing with his magical instruments at the far end of the room. After a few moments, her attention shifted to the staircase leading up to the rooms before returning to Sya once more.

[color=DBA73D]“Is it always this busy in here?”[/color] she asked Sya with a playful tone, taking another small sip of her wine.
