"You holding up alright?" Aesir asked with a smile, noticing a very slight shift in Nich's gait.
They were always hyper-aware of their surroundings and others' body language. After all, it had saved their skin numerous times.

Castor let out a sigh of relief as they came upon the town. He just wanted to get into the next quest. They were all decent enough company, but it was hard to feel as if he should actually be here. At least he could better understand the bounds of Finn's magic now, and if they had to fight again, it would run more smoothly.

@Fraust

"Yeah, I'm alright. Just a bit tired… and sore from everything." Nich smiled to reassure Aesir. "I'll be fine. We'll be at the town soon anyway, so it doesn't matter. We can rest there."

Finn walked alongside Castor quietly, trying to recall everything that he might need for the sleeping Elixir and the dream catcher spell. He didn't think it was too complicated, but he did want to make sure that he did it right.

"Okay, as long as that's all," Aesir replied with a short nod, "I won't lie, I've been worried about dragging you lot ahead too much, since I wasn't hurt at all."

Castor and Finn's conversation had died down some, but instead of falling behind the group more, Castor kept walking beside Finn, comforted by the other's presence.

@Fraust

"We're alright, I think. You've got a skilled healer on your team." Nich looked back to Finn, who tripped over a root and didn't seem to hear. He managed not to fall, but he did stumble a few steps. "A bit clumsy, evidently, but he's good at what he does."

Finn drew in a sharp breath as he tripped, but sighed in relief when he managed to catch himself. "I'll be glad once we're out of the forest… I feel like I'm in a maze. A maze full of things to trip on."

group

"Absolutely," Aesir agreed, "I'm glad to have him on our side. I was quite worried when he got knocked the fuck out yesterday. But he seems… fine, I think? I should've done better watching his back, but at least I was there to make sure it wasn't much worse."

Castor instinctively reached out a hand to catch Finn at first, though he didn't end up touching the other at all once he saw he'd caught himself.
"I quite like it here," Castor replied with a shrug, "It's nice and quiet up in these parts. But sure, a little treacherous if you don't watch your step constantly."

@Fraust

"Yeah, it looks like he's alright. I'm sure it would've turned out much worse if you weren't there to guard him when he got hurt." Nich turned his gaze to the ground as the path became a little more hazardous, wanting to make sure he didn't catch his prosthetics on any vines. "Delta wasn't fazed at all, though, so maybe that's normal for him? I dunno."

"Yeah, I guess it's pretty… just tired of trying not to fall." Finn laughed softly and toyed with his hair a bit. He knew he was surprisingly clumsy for someone who was able to do parkour and such. "We'll be to the town soon, and then we can gather our bearings and regroup."

group

"Perhaps. I'm just glad things didn't turn out way worse," Aesir sighed in relief, "Someone could've been killed had things played out ever so slightly different."

"Fair enough," Castor chuckled, "It would be nice to settle in for the night. I am pretty tired still."

@Fraust

"Yeah… that wouldn't be a very good school assignment if you lost one of your group members." Nich joked to lighten the mood. "Let's just get to town and find something to eat."

At the mention of food, Finn looked up, his stomach growling. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until now. "Yeah, that's a good idea."

group

"Not a bad idea," Castor agreed, "Is anyone familiar with this town?"
"No, not particularly," Aesir replied, "I've been to and from here, but I'm not overly familiar. Something to eat would be nice, though."

@Fraust

"I've been here a few times, so I know a few places with food, but I don't know my way around perfectly." Nich replied as they came up to the entrance of the town. "I'm sure we'll be able to find something."
"There's also maps available here." Delta said simply, picking up a map to look for a place with food and board.

group

"Ah, excellent," Aesir replied, looking over Delta's shoulder, "There are quite a few places on the side of town closer to the river, it seems."
Castor came up behind them, still walking next to Finn.
"Shall we go, then?"

@Fraust

"Yeah, let's get moving." As they were the one with the map, Delta led the way through the town. Finn kept up the rear of the group so he could keep an eye on his companions more easily. Nich was content to follow close behind Delta.

group

Aesir kept an eye out for any signs that might indicate the inn they were looking for. Eventually, they stopped Delta and the others at one such place.
"Well, here we are," they said, "Let's see if we can get a place to stay."

@Fraust

Delta nodded and led the group into the inn, tucking the map into their pocket on the way. Nich and Finn followed again, and Delta headed up to the front desk to start talking with the keeper about boarding there. Soon, they got two rooms for the five of them to share.

group

"I'm going to put my things down in our room," Aesir said, "but I would like to explore a bit before turning in for the evening. Anyone want to come with me? We can also probably get a word in with that shopkeeper before sundown."
"If you're talking to the shopkeeper, I'll come with you. Of course, I might like to part ways after that," Castor replied.

@Fraust

"I'll come with." Nich replied, raising one hand as though volunteering. He knew he should probably rest considering his injuries, but he didn't want to pass up a chance to explore.
"I'll stay here, or at least in this general vicinity." Delta replied, still looking down at their map. "I'll talk to the people in here, anyway."
"I think I'm going to try and get some rest, if that's alright…" Finn laughed weakly. "After I do a bit of magic research, of course."

@Fraust
