Rena Rafisur

-put." She turned back to Aronion. "Assuming you don't want to visit your friend first?"

-but if you have a hurt back, I'll save the lecture after breakfast." She huffed, heading straight for the bar keep, already negotiating a stay for the next couple nights. "We can head into the city proper and the inn once we have everything set up. Which means", she looked at Gav, "jobs. So stay-

Rena watched him walk off, then to the street urchin, frowning, she took some coin to hand to the child, telling them to get something warm before she ran back after Aronion as they arrived at the tavern. "Unless they have seeing orbs in the room..." She waved he hands. "Okay, okay, I won't pry-

-fully in front of Aronion. "We aren't in the woods right now. No excuses." She was full on in mom mode. Look, she even wagged an index finger at him.

Rena rubbed her temples. "Sylvanas, let me make it through the day." She followed after Aronion, catching up to him. "Okay, tavern it is but you can't just sleep in your armor. Proper rest is needed and I don't think cold, hard steel pressed against your back is going to do the trick." She stepped-

Rena blinked. Very slowly. Then again. Then again. Then shrugged. "We've slept on worse." She paused. "Is that even comfortable for you? We can just get an inn."

-talking to the bar keep. There was an inn up in the city proper but the place did have room and board. Rena thought it over. "Thoughts? If the tavern beds don't agree with Aronion, I have no problems going to a proper inn."

Rena gave a nod. "Doing things the old fashioned way: asking." She started walking, asking around until they found such a tavern. Cracked bricks, wood looking like it was straining against the weight, the doors practically falling off its hinges. "This looks like the place." Motioned to go inside, -

-Kerva, then Aronion. "When I step out, make sure he behaves. He gets antsy in cities." Rena, as always took the lead, even if she didn't know where to go. "We should ask the locals. Unless you know where one is, Aronion?"

Rena let out a sigh of relief. "I'll pitch in. A week won't suffice won't suffice." She dug through her backpack, grabbing her coin purse. "I'll check in with the local guild boards once we're settled, see who it is who needs help." She looked at Gav. "And we're staying to help." She looked at -

-you right." She rummaged through, throwing a bed roll at Gav while she carefully got up, nicely handing a bed roll to Kerva. "Honestly, Gavwen, I don't know how your parents put up with you sometimes." She walked off to set up her own roll, close to the fire to help with the chill in her bones.

Rena was rubbing her temples, pulling her cloak to the side, revealing her backpack. "Gav. We got our supplies while /you/ ran off. My back hurts from carrying this thing around that has all we need in it. I was going to tell Kerva not to say anything while you slept on the ground, which serves-

-and her shoulders, and the rest of her, and her soul, not that she would show it.

-at Gav, "He ran off. He didn't get lost. He /never/ gets lost. He just won't stay still." She took a deep breath, turning her attention back to Aronion. "And, since we're all going there, we'll travel in the morning." Lucky for Gav, she was being agreeable. Only because her legs hurt. And her back-

Her focus was still shapr for a moment, then, she rubbed her temples and her look softened. "I'm going to have a long talk with Gav after this." She sighed. "Because knowing him, he's okay with traveling together." She shook her head. "We can camp together. We didn't set up ours before", she glared-

And come back she did. "Okay, Hubie, you ready to-" to a crime scene with no culprit in sight. ".... UNBELIEVABLE!"

Rena would check over her shoulder, seeing the perfect image of a little goblin. Back to setting everything up. "Alright, I'll get the bath ready. You just wait right there, Hubie." She got up, dusted herself and walked off towards the woods. Leaving the goblin alone in the camp.

-lips and nose. It was gone in seconds, wiping her face with a forearm, inhaling. "Okay, not bad." She placed the bowl down. "Now, what the hells is going on? I know Gav can be," trusting, "impulsively reckless so, start from the beginning and we can sort this out."

Rena cautiously took the bowl, not breaking eye contact. Then, she took a spoonful to her lips and... her face was in the bowl, scarfing it down like she was breathing it. Which might have explained some choking sounds and a few coughs before she went right back to having stew all over her -

-I'm going to try. But if I swear, if this stew makes me run for the nearest stream, I will summon the trees to fall on you. I have had," Rena sideeyes Gav, "a /day/." She moves her eyes back on Aronion, watching his every move. She could feel a headache forming.

Rena stared, more like kept her glare at Aronion for a moment then another then..... a large groaning and grumble escaped from her abdomen. "Food first. We can determine if we're killing each other after." How she kept a straight face is beyond anyone. "If that knucklehead and Kerva trust you-

-kid who needs a bath." She dusted her hands together, grabbing other small portions. Bread, a little bit of cheese left. She shrugged and set it on a small tin plate for Hubie. "Don't eat too fast. You'll choke."

She got the pot out next, moving the center where a makeshift fire pit had been attempted. Some water, some mixing and dropping some of it into the pot to stew as she started a fire with some effort from scratching the rocks. "I'm a traveller, Hubie. Just passing through when I found a small-

-sharp for a moment. "If this is a bit or you've charmed them, you answer to me." Acting suspicious despite taking a seat and an invitation because her lower back was falling apart. Priorities.

-it with a heavy thud, an "Oof," escaping her. "Now that's a...." She stared at the fire and then grinned. "A warm welcome." She snorted at her own joke, pleased with herself. "Okay, now." She looked at the knight. "Other than Aronion, what else about you has these two being cozy?" Her eyes went-

She looked at Aronion, then to her two younger companions, the stress very clear on her face before she looked back at the night, then where he was sitting. Her legs felt like jelly and her knees were screaming at her. "Yeah, okay." She carefully moved to the 'seat' letting herself fall down on-

-began stomping toward the fire until she finally noticed the large knight. Which surprised her but at this point, she had some narrow vision going on. "Who.... Okay, who is this and why are you eating together?"

-I'm gonna...." She straightened out, taking slow deep breaths after her rapid shallow ones, finally gaining some composure. Her eyes focused on the three of them by the fire. "I'm trying to catch up and you're both cozy?!" Her tone was a mix of disbelief, annoyance and a hint of relief. She -

As if summoned by his very words, an older woman, dressed in light leathers and a soft cloak wrapped around her shoulders came into view of the clearing, gasping for air. "I'm..... Gav... when I find you...." She leaned forward, placing her hands just above her knees. "It'll... be quick... I swear-

It didn't take long to get back to the camp Rena had set up, letting go of young goblins hand. Casting a little create water to wash her hands before she rumages through the back packs for food. We'll see if that helps at all. Maybe. "I'm Rena. What's your name, child?"
