They didn't meet any other Were as they traveled the next day. After some protesting, she somehow managed to get Kei up on one of the horses. He still flashed her scowls during the day, mainly because she made him ride with Baelan. He not only needed rest, but riding with the Elf allowed him to work on his memories as well. He wasn't an accomplished enough rider to do so on his own horse.

Baelan didn't complain at all about his riding partner. She wasn't sure what to think of that.

Their guide remained quiet. Garen happily roamed around them, delighted to be without his glamor and out of the city.

For the most part, she walked silently, too many thoughts rambling through her mind.

Waycross was not what she expected. At first, they walked by the odd house or building. Paths appeared, and then turned into the dirt roads of a small town hidden beneath the trees. The town was loud with voices and the sounds of living; wood being chopped, the clanking of pots, slamming of doors.

The Were themselves nodded or gave their party short bows, always avoiding her gaze, before returning to whatever they had been doing. A few quiet "Welcome, Aro-En" met her ears, but her guide did not slow, so she didn't have the time to find the owners of the words to reply. The odd giant wolf wandering around amidst the people drew her attention. Though used to Garen, her brain still had trouble dealing with their size.

They finally stopped, dismounting and gathering their bags. After Gillis spoke with a man who led away the horses, they entered a large building which reminded her of the Westwind with its bar and tables set out, people eating a variety of foods.

"Is this an inn?"

Gillis turned in her direction as he led them through a door to the left into a hallway. "A waystation. Similar to a human inn, yes." Stopping, he gestured to two doors. "Rhee-En arranged for two rooms. Please settle in. You may dine in the common area," he gestured back to the first room they'd entered, "and baths are at the end of this hall. Rest tonight. I will meet you in the morning in the common area after breakfast to take you to Rhee-En."

"Thank you."

With another nod, he turned and left, leaving them standing in the hall and staring at the doors. Stepping forward she opened one and looked inside. Two beds. The other room appeared the same.

"I'll take this one," she told the boys, going into the first room and then closing the door behind her.

Dropping her bag on the floor, she took a deep breath. Alone was fine. She was an adult. She could do this.
