Ashe followed Lin and Flint as they walked towards the town. She laughed at Flint's comment and cocked her head at Lin's. "And if the tiger can't catch you, Flint, I might have to. Why is it you don't care for storms, Lin?" Her curiosity getting the better of her normal silence.

"That is good, I can't wait to get inside the place and indoors."
At Ashe's question Lin looked backwards at her.
"Well, let's just say that I had a very bad experience with a storm when I was younger, I have also been outside most of the time on my journey when a storm came. Then it took me a while to find shelter and by then I was soaked through and shaking, there was no wet wood so I couldn't start a fire. Not even my companion's here were able to stay warm. We were all completely soaked."
She smiled a little and pushed some stray hair away from her face.

The rain had just started as Flint and the rest entered the city. Flint pointed towards some nearby docks, and a brightly lit inn just beside it.
"Thats the Severed Anchor" he said cheerfully, walking towards it. He made sure he was out of sight of all the windows before stepping up to the door.

Lin looked at the Inn and noticed how Flint avoided the windows. She followed his lead without any questions asked. Once at the door she looked around silently, there was no one in the streets at all.
"Well the inn's name sure matches where it is located near the docks" she pointed out.

Ashe silently followed Lin and Flint indoors, following Flint's example of advoiding the windows. She would rather have stayed outside, but since the gnome hadn't run off screaming when he saw her, she figured she'll hang around abit. She then looked back at the door and cocked a smile, "I'm guessing there's a stable here too?" looking at the animles still outside.

"Not in a traditional sense, no" Flint said, waving his hand in that same intricate fashion as before.
"But in the back right corner is a small storage shed that is big enough for all the animals" he added, moving his hand as if opening in invisible door. This action open the real door. Instantly, every head in the bar turned automatically to it, then all, looking surprised, down.
"Well I'll be damned" a voice said in the crowd. "Welcome back, little buddy"
A couple people greeted him as well as he stepped inside.
"Rather short adventure I'm afraid" he said brightly to the people in the bar.

Lin was shocked at what happened with a single hand movement. She looked inside at the people. They all greeted the gnome in a vary familiar way, he must have known them for a while. She walked inside after the gnome with her animals in toe. It was surprising they even fit into the room.
"I hope there isn't anything dangerous in that storage shed" Lin said silently.
"These companions of mine definately can't stay in here with all these other people. They haven't been around crowds much and are not used to it."
As Lin spoke about the animals, their own actions showed that they were frightened of being around so many humans and creatures that they didn't know. They began to panic shortly afterwards and Lin quickly turned around. She calmed them with a simple nod of her head and pet each one in turn.
"Shh , it's okay, just relax" she smiled at the animals; she loved them.

"Great job, genius, ya scared 'em" a rough voice said, getting a few laughs.
Flint spun the stool around, facing his companions. "The shed is empty, always has been, the barkeeper has all his stuff in a cellar underground" he explained, turning to said barkeep.
"And I hope my room isnt in use...we will also need..." he said, kicking the chair around to quickly count his companions.
[LOL, I forgot how many are here xd ]

"Okay. So where is this storage shed located. I will need someone to show me the way, but I can take care of the animals."
Lin paused and looked around at the people, they obviously weren't used to animals being around. Especially when she had a tiger, a mule and a horse. You would normally expect the tiger to eat the horse and mule.
"Oh and if you are worried about the tiger eating the mule and horse, don't be because the tiger is well behaved and only eats what he is given. Though I am the only one the animals will listen to. I'll take on the responsibility of looking after them" she went silent and smiled before turning back to the animals.
(There are three animals, and three people I believe in this particular area.)

Ashe stood silently watching the others in the bar. They all seemed to enjoy Flint's company, the only down side to the place was that it reeked. Just like any other human bar... she sighed. Her white hair stood out with the dim lighting and she could feel the stares directed her way. "I'll go with you, Lin. Flint metioned it being in the back," she said walking between the horse and donkey, both who seemed to shy away from her.
(3 people and 3 animals)

Luniya was walking alone in the woods. It was raining furiously. The winds were incredbily strong and she was getting soaked. She didn't mind though, she the loved the water even if it could be harsh at times. She spun around with her arms wide open and her eyes closed. She had the hugest smile on her face and her ears were as perky as ever. Finally, she decided she should find a place to place. It wouldn't be too good for her health to stay out in the rain all night.
She came across an inn a bar if you will and decided it would suffice for the night. It was near the docks, which Luniya found to be somewhat odd but it was a place she could stay just for tonight. She walked into the bar it was crowded inside. She noticed a couple animals walking around.What are all these animals doing here? Is this a barn too?
People were staring at her. She could feel their eyes on her. She realized that she was soaking wet and a huge trail of water followed her from the door to the bar. "Do you think I can trouble you for a towel. I'm soaking wet and how much does a room cost for the night." she asked with the most polite tone she could possibly manage. The bartender just nodded and didn't answer her second question. She looked at the most interesting character in the bar and decided to get to know him.
"Hey, whats your name gnome? You look like a bundle of fun and really liven this place up I'm Luniya." she asked walking towards him realizing her height and what she had just said about the 'bundle of fun' she hoped she hadn't offended him. She swung her hair to one side and twisted it tightly to wring all the water out of hair. She was starting to shiver Where is that bartender with my towel. I'm getting cold. Not to mention a little embarassed.

The bartender reached under the counter, quickly tossing up a clean towel.
"The name's Flint" Flint said casually, stopping the chair with his foot against the bar.
"Oh, and Ashe, back right corner, turn left out the door and just go around" he shouted towards the door, then turned back to the bar. "Marcus, remember the money I gave you earlier? It should pay for some rooms, right?" he asked, to which the barkeeper nodded.
"You did leave a bit much, but yeah, it should be fine for 4 rooms" he said simply, returning to other duties around the area.

Ashe waved her arm in acknolegment of Flint's comment. She then walked back towards the shed and opened the heavy door. Looking in she whistled, "It's spacy alright. If it wasn't for the animals I may have asked to sleep here."
She fished out a piece of flint and one of her swords and looked around for a lantern. Finding one she lit it and allowed the light to illuminate the shed. "Should be enough light to rub down the animals." She turned to see if Lin had followed and if the horse and donkey where still figiting because of her.

Luniya smiled, satisfied that she finally had her towel. She gently passed it along her face and the rest of her body. He eyes gleamed as she took a deep breath. She threw the wet towel near the bar.
"Flint? that's a pretty creative name. I like it." She turned the chair Flint had stopped and sat in it facing away for the bar. She leaned back strecthing her arms across the bar. "Oh, bartender I need a room as well and a drink. A strong one preferably,"she tossed some coins on the counter which should have been more than enough for a decent room and drink.
She crossed her legs and began to shake her right foot back and forth. In a couple seconds she started snapping her fingers as well. She knew it was unusual to just move body parts like that. It probably made her look fidgety and nervous, so she started humming a tune. Her voice was unique and beautiful. She grabbed her drink without pausing her song even drank it without messing up a single note. She was hoping someone would join her or even start dancing. She grabbed the wet towel and hung it around her neck. Smiling as she continued her humming

Lin had taken a last glance at the strange newcomer that had entered the bar and quickly followed after Ashe. When the shed door was opened she looked inside and agreed that it was pretty spacy.
"This is the perfect place for the animals, good thing I have some food and a water troth for them. It's pretty bear in here after all."
Lin quickly walked into the shed and smiled when Ashe lit the light and made her comment about it.
"I can make more light if we really need more. Would you like to help me brush the animals down. I might just leave the donkey to you and take care of the tiger myself though. I can easilly make the animals be calm around you also."
Lin grinned and quickly unpacked the things from the mule. She set up some food for each animal.
"Technically I don't have a water troth on me, but I will make one."
She made a single motion with her hands and a water troth made of ice formed near the food for the animals. It was also filled with water.
"That should do. Now the light problem."
She moved her hand in another motion and a bright globe light appeared close to the roof adding more light to the shed. She turned and nodded to the animals, they all went to the food and water and were no longer afraid of Ashe.
