[quote]"Feels like our little village has become the focus of attention lately… albeit for the wrong reasons. I do hope you all find the poor missing Lady…"[/quote]

Sonia chuckled, but her voice was not as enthusiastic as before. [color=ed145b]"We hope so too, Master Innkeeper, we hope so too.."[/color]

Despite the innkeeper's offering, Sonia decided not to poke him with any questions and instead let Kaelara inquire instead. Although he seemed to be easing up now, God knows the Poor fellow might be unable to handle multiple questions at once, thus she wouldn't risk a breakdown in communication. 

So Sonia would sit tight and listen. And why not enjoy the food when she was at it?

When she was about to take a spoonful of warm stew, the adventurer next to her introduced herself out of the blue.

[color=ed145b]"Oh yes... yes, you are the Gal earlier."[/color] The demoness managed, unfazed by the sudden but rather anemic gesture. She could respect someone who thoroughly felt the tedium of introducing oneself to five different people within two hours, so she too should be brief with her replies. [color=ed145b]"Sonia is the name. A hunter."[/color] 

Both women seemed to share a silent agreement that for now knowing each other names should be enough for pleasantries and it allowed a room for the innkeeper to continue his account. Sonia listened intently, and while she was chewing a piece of bread, there came a revelation that there was a knight apparently, heh, of course, there would be, the question was...

[color=ed145b]"Don't you think it was strange that the captain found the Lady's personal effects but none whatsoever about the knight?"[/color] murmured Sonia [color=ed145b]"Heck, he didn't even mention anything about it. I ain't one to badmouth my employer, but considering we are the replacement of that Captain's missing men, I'd take this job with a bit more precaution." [/color]
