"Pleased to make your acquaintance. My name's Isabella Banx, but I go by Bell." She glanced the soldier suspiciously and then turned back to the princess. "If you'd rather stay at the inn, I can still bring you clothes in the morning," she said with a friendly smile.

Damien was doing... future despot things.
"So, were I to help, your workload would be halved, therefore, You'd only be working for a week. Simple mathematics."
Acharius shook his head.
"Actually, I'm kind of a bodyguard, so it doesn't work like that."

"Alright then. we'll meet you at the inn. If you needed to know, I'm Scout Thornak Calma." The soldier said, once more pushing up his glasses.
"I don't remember my name, so I'm going as Archive, which was my name as the Ollam database..." The little girl said, smiling.
"Thank you! If you have any dresses suitable for travel, that would help." Mithra said.

"I think I have just the thing," Bell replied with a smile. "And I better be off. I'll see you guys in the morning." With a small wave, she turned and headed in a south westerly direction.

The Aventure's Rest was an inn for the various adventurers roaming Gra, and the owner had seen his share of odd groups, but nothing prepared him for Thornak Calma, who, in his Alainn outfit, walked up to the counter, a noblewoman and small girl wearing Metal demon parts waiting behind.
"I'd like two rooms. One for me and another for the girls." Thornak smiled, hand gripping his weapon.
"That will be 20 gold coins, sir." The innkeeper said after gauging how rich these travelers must be.
"Sorry... I'm totally broke. but you'll give us a room anyways." Thornak said calmly, "I'm the Alainn scout."
"I don't care if you're the king of Agreus! twenty gold!"
"Alright then..." Thornak unhooked his gun and blasted a table apart, then he pointed it at the innkeeper, his smile now looked malicious, "Two rooms, please."
The innkeeper stared at the weapon, which was emitting a hum from the electricity coursing through it, reminding him of the merciless demons. he hastily handed him the keys to two rooms.
"Thank you. Come along then girls." Thornak said, still smiling and leaving the innkeeper quaking in his boots.

[[I had a feeling that something like would happen...poor Bell would've flipped out]]
After about ten minutes of brisk walking, Bell was home. On the outside, it looked like nothing more than a pile of useless scrap. It was like a fortress and only a metal mage like herself could get in. She lifted the large piece of metal using her magic, went in through the door, and replaced the scrap before going into her domain. Inside was quite nice, a bit strange, but nice. The majority of the furniture was made of metal with makeshift padding. She put some water on to boil and began making preparations for the journey ahead.

(In a world like this, an energy rifle is a pretty scary weapon to face... Besides, I've always wanted to do a scene like that...)
Thornak looked around his room. It was alright, not nearly as good as an Alainn room, but he didn't expect anything to be nearly as nice. He checked the bed and found it... tolerable. With his sleeping bag, he'd be able to rest, at least.
---
Mithra was astounded by the luxury of the room. The large rug covering the polished wood floors, as well as the comfortable beds. She was looking forward to a good noght's sleep.
Archive had just sat on the bed once they got in, staring at her bracer and pressing buttons. Mithra didn't know that Arhive never slept, but mithra didn't know a lot about Archive and Thornak Calma.

After packing a bag of supplies for herself and another for the princess, she opened an old trunk in the back corner of her bedroom. She hadn't gone through it for years, the memories it brought back were strange and vague. After some rummaging, she found what she was looking for. It was a lightweight dress, simple but beautiful, it's bottom pinned up stylishly and strategically for easy walking. A pair of sensible brown boots went with it. Bell was glad that her mother's old garment would finally get some use. After laying it on a chair to air out overnight, she sprawled out on her bed and was asleep in minutes.

Mithra slept the fastest... she needed only to lay on the bed before slipping into sleep.
Thornak slept lightly, as he waws trained to... he had to listen for threats...
Archive didn't sleep. With the candles in the room put out, the small girl was the sorce of light, mostly from the large blue 'gem' on he chest.

Bell woke before sunrise and made sure everything was in order before sitting down to her morning meal. She then tied the dress and boots into a bundle and strapped both packs on as well as a few choice weapons. With a last look at her home, she headed out. The short walk was uneventful and she reached the inn just as the sun peeked over the horizon. The inn seemed quite nice, but she was glad she hadn't stayed here. Judging from the broken table there had been a disturbance of some sort. With a nod to the inn keeper, she settled in to wait for the others.

Thornak came down first, popping something small into his mouth. he looked at the innkeeper, who shrank back in fear, staing at the weapon on the pack. Thornak sat down, "The others will be down soon."

Bell looked suspiciously from the soldier to the inn keeper and then the ruined table. Her eyes fell to the floor and she bit her lip, staying silent for a moment before asking, "Sir Thornak, exactly how did you get your room last night?"

Thornak leaned back, "I'm from 1,000 years ago, I have no money of this era... You can guess how I got my room. I didn't enjoy it, but I had to make it look like I did..."

Bell sighed and walked to the innkeeper. "I have no coin on me, but this should pay for both my friend's room and his foul behavior. You must forgive him, he is new to our society," she said, laying a fine dagger on the desk before him that was at least three times worth both rooms and the table combined. When she returned to Thornak, picked up the clothes for the princess and asked, "Which room is Mithra in?"

"I don't know... I don't make it my business to spy on girls. Just countries." Thornak said, taking out his small white device. The red light from yesterday was now green. He nodded to himself and put it back in his pocket.
