Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rowan entered he Inn and looked around once she was inside, to be greeted by the sight of many trophies, skins, and burly decorations.The people there were unsettling... She kept her staff close to her as she stood around, unsure what to do or where to go. Maybe he hasn't arrived yet... Rowan took a seat at an empty table for the time being and set her staff on the table while glancing around at the other people there.

Rowan waited for a while until she saw Frederick approach her table, to her relief. This was the right place after all. She smiled lightly. "Better thank you, the rest really helped. As well did seeing Faron again. Though I slept a bit too long, it seems to be late already..." she said. "The Head Ringmaster told me you'd be here, so I came over for a visit."

"What?! You spoke to her?" she asked, looking genuinely surprised, and upset at the notion. Though she could probably get a good guess at why she wouldn't want them meeting. It was odd enough for Ringmasters to Bring foreigners to their country, nonetheless their homes. She must have thought he was a hoagim. "So that's why she told me that..." she shook her head. "No way. I said I'd help you on your adventure, and I'm sticking to that promise. She can't prevent me like that if I'm leaving Arun soon anyways, this was only a visit." she said. She sighed. "I'm sorry for their rudeness." she said

Rowan's face darkened just a bit as she looked down at her hands. She nodded once. "No, I understand... I'll tell you what you need to know." she said, looking back at him. She folded her arms infront of her on the table, looking slightly uncomfortable. "Ask away"

"I was just returning to the ringmaster's temple, about to cross the bridge, when I heard a child's giggle in the trees. I thought it was him, so I followed it deep into the trees. But it wasn't Faron... it was another little boy. The one from before, that was with that man in the factory. Then someone behind me pressed a towel with some kind of sleeping potion against my mouth, and I blacked out..." she said. "Then I woke up in a strange place. It smelled horribly, I was tied up already so I couldn't tell where I was. There were many voices, some arguing. And general Vixen among it. Some of them kept bothering me, and said horrible things...." she said quietly, looking down. "They kept talking about moving me to capture you. Something about those sleeping potions they bought from the man, and that they plan to use it soon. I didn't catch how though. Then they dragged me to the Factory. General Vixen told me he'd kill you, thanks to my help..."

Rowan nodded. She thought hard for a bit. "I remember that first place they kept me... the ground was rocky. And their voices echoed throughout the place. Some complained it was too dark... it could have been a cave, or something like it." she said. Rowan looked up a him "I remember General Vixen say something about the potions, how they had enough to put an entire town to sleep. The voices were all of men in that place... I think there were other people there. Captives. But I couldn't hear their voices after a while being there."

Rowan nodded. "That's a good idea. I'll come with you. To help if there is any magic involved." she insisted. There was no point in staying away from eachother now that they knew about her, and Frederick was alowed to be in public with his disguise and support from the captain.
