Three days of hard riding, of dodging guards and laying low. You can feel the weariness in your bones, and tonight you're going to rest. You should have known that news of your abilities would draw attention from the royal family but you never dreamed that the King himself would be here for you, and now unless you want to be forced into marriage to pass your talents on like a broodmare you need to keep running. The Inn is comfortable and warm, and the keeper promised you a hot meal and bath for only a few coins. Reluctantly parting with them, you settle in at the table and allow yourself to relax. For the time being, it's best to not draw attention to yourself, so paying with traditional coin is preferable, though perhaps one of your abilities may be used in the future when you don't have to be so careful. A commotion at the front of the room draws your attention, and you force yourself to not stiffen up when several kingsguard enter. Alarm races up your spine when the king himself steps over the threshold, but if you make any sudden movements it'll draw attention. Asking for your money back so you can leave will cause the innkeeper to look at you too closely. Best to carry on as if nothing is amiss. As has become their habit in their search for you, everyone present is rounded up and one by one each person is questioned and released. As you approach where he is sitting, you can't help but notice the striking figure the king poses. He looks up at you with keen eyes.
