Erin Solstice
|
At some point, Erin slept. At some point, Erin woke up. These were minor details. What mattered was the sound. |

Erin Solstice
|
After a while, the knocking was too much to ignore. Erin opened her eyes and sat up. It was far too bright in the world. And noisy. |
Erin Solstice
|
Someone was knocking at the front door. The locked front door. Erin thought about going back to sleep, but the knocking hadn’t ceased for the last few minutes. It was the kind of knocking that said the person on the other side knew there was someone to bother, and they would develop the cadence and volume to be annoying if they did this for an hour straight. So, at last, Erin reluctantly got up and opened the door. |

Pisces Jealnet
|
Pisces the friendly mage gave her a brilliant smile. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin shut the door. After a few seconds, she opened it. |
[Necromancer]
|
The [Necromancer] looked haughty—but then caught himself as an audible little growl escaped his stomach. He coughed delicately into one sleeve. |
[Innkeeper]
|
The [Innkeeper] actually turned around blankly. |
Pisces Jealnet
|
Pisces blinked a few times. He spoke very carefully, pointing at the ground and enunciating each word clearly. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin finally caught on and glared blearily at him. She thrust the door open further. |
Pisces Jealnet
|
She stomped inside. After a moment, Pisces followed. |

|
Erin’s glower cut him off. She came back with four blue fruits and tossed them on the table. Pisces stared at the fruit and opened his mouth. He looked at Erin’s expression and amended whatever he was going to say. |

Erin’s service came with a huge frown. But he did get the plate. She would have liked to go back to sleep, but the sounds of Pisces shifting and the clink of silverware on pottery was too distracting. Instead, she got her own blue fruit and started a fire to warm up her pasta. She munched on the sweet fruit in dour silence. |

Nearly. Behind her, Pisces set down his knife and fork and sighed loudly. Erin wished he weren’t here. It wasn’t that she disliked company; she was starved for it. She just wished her company wasn’t him. |

Erin turned and glared at Pisces. He raised both eyebrows and held up his cup. |

|
Erin’s eye twitched. But she went and got a cup for herself as well. She didn’t pour his drink, but rather set the pitcher of juice on the other end of the table so he had to reach for it. She glanced out the window and saw, well, nothing. |

Even the darn mountains had been obscured by the kind of rainfall that made you hope your gutters were clear back home. Erin could barely see ten feet into the downpour. She shivered; that kind of onslaught was one thing in her home or indoors, but this inn felt a bit too—fragile. Pisces, for himself, seemed quite glad he was here, not anywhere else. Erin turned to him and gestured outside. |
