Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noj raised an eyebrow at her. She was attractive, but Noj didn't really mix business, or what ever this was...with pleasure. Almost got him killed a few times. Beyond that, he'd feel bad about it, since Noj was literally being paid (in some form) to protect her. That in and of itself gave Noj a sort of leverage in just strength, and felt that it would only make her uncomfortable if he made any sort of advance...whatever. In any case, his history with women in any aspect was rather rotten, with Cellyn being the only semi lucid one, and he meant to keep it that way. Sighing, he layed down in front of the fire, a little annoyed that the heat only hit him on one side no matter how he turned himself, not that he'd tried but he had enough of a grasp on the way of the world that he knew the result. Closing his eyes, he let him self drift into, albeit shallow, sleep.

Noj yawned and stretched his arms, looking around. No blood, bodies, or mayhem awaited him, so it was a good morning in his book. Glancing at Cellyn as he rose, he shrugged and smelled his...rather interesting smell. Half of him smelt like sweat from the fire, and the other half smelt like just a bit of blood from his still slightly oozing wounds. Sigh. Peeking his head out the door, he asked the well places girl who worked at the inn for a bath to be drawn, wondering if she was the one who saw him sprawled on the ground by her reaction. Well, that or she heard about it. Whatever. Deciding to grab some food before he bathed, since he really didn't care if anyone got a nose full in the half an hour or so before he bathed, he walked downstairs.

Noj sat down at the nearest empty table, asking a passing waitress for some breakfast food, whatever was ready and quickly available, and sighed as she walked away giggling. Dyeing his hair had done nothing for the people inside the inn for his new reputation as a scandalous stripper, though he doubted that many others would know since most hadn't seen him before he dyed it and got his...title. Eyeing Cellyn as she descended the stairs Noj leaned back. He didn't feel like calling out to here mainly since he didn't know if she was abashed for associating with him. He was certain that there were also some rather stupid rumors about the source of those bruises since they slept in the same room(he needed to amend that at some point...sleeping on a bed is much more comfortable but Noj doubted she was very warm to the idea of sharing a bed with him...meh{and Noj was starting to get really bloody sore}) so he decided to let her choose. He wasn't trusting of this little community but so far no one had tried to beat, kill, maim, steal, kidnap, rape, or molest them, so things seemed alright.

Noj shrugged, "I'm a rather restless person I suppose. After darkspawn, kidnappings, Asha'man, Aes Sedai, assassins, Warders, and what not, sleeping deep is a bit tough for me I suppose. But, enough about that, so far nothing as tried to kill us, so it's restful enough, and I'm finally getting some sleep. Bit sore though, the floor doesn't do wonders for the posture."

Noj raised an eyebrow, and sighed. "No, my 'manly honor' is quite fine with asking if I can sleep on a bed instead of the floor. Beds have blankets, and mattresses, while floors...tend not too. My only problem is that the bed isn't as close to the fireplace as I would like..." Noj wasn't sure where his love of warmth(which closely associated with fire) developed. Probably from when he was young and watched his family die in a snowy night and almost froze to death. Probably a good guess. Maybe that's also the reason he was much more comfortable with using fire in his channeling as opposed to say...water, or smithing as opposed to...shoveling snow? Whatever. Digging into his own food, he also noticed the look on Cellyn's face, like a cat waiting to pounce on something, but meh. She was probably going to have a mattress brought into the room, then put on the floor or something, he didn't know.

Noj raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. He didn't expect her to have them sleep together but apparently she believed he wouldn't jump her skin, which he wouldn't, but that meant something he supposed. Digging into his food, he paused after a swallow. "Well, now that that's settled, do you know anything else we might need while we're here?" He only planned on staying maybe a night or two more at most, maybe three if laziness ensued. While it might take a day or two for the Aes Sedai to notice (or care) that they aren't moving, he also wanted to get away from the Blightborder somewhat quickly.

Noj nodded thoughtfully as he ate his food. They were travelling rather lightly, with one horse and all (luckily Light Dancer was a strong enough horse to handle a bit more weight than they gave him. "Alright then, two more days to lessen fatigue, and I think we'll be good to head out. I know I've asked a few times before, but do you have any sort of over all destination in mind?" He didn't mind wondering aimlessly, but having a destination in mind made travel a bit easier knowing that one neared the destination, if not the end of the journey.
