"I don't know why I shouldn't trust you, I think we're in the clear for now. If there happens to be any trouble, you know where I am. I have faith in you, Ski. Now, perhaps we should get out of this storm before one of us gets struck by lightning, yes?" he said with a slight tone of dry humor in his voice, yet at the same time caring. He looked at her, awaiting her response.
He hoped his trust in her was well-placed in this situation.

Ski smiled and gave a slight laugh at the joke.
"I will be careful it is alright. I will meet you at the inn. I will see you then alright?" She said as they walked into town. As soon as they entered the town Ski nodded to him and make it clear she would meet him at the inn as soon as she had seen the healer. Parting ways he disappeared in the fleeing people running from the rain.

After Sirion parted ways, he immediately headed to the inn. He stepped in through the door. Smoke was heavy in the air, drunken men cheering and shouting and having a good time. They didn't seem to notice him at all. Sirion went to the bartender and spoke with him, asking if this was for sure an inn. It was indeed, it seemed, but the miners had just gotten off their shifts and were thirsty. It made sense. He reached into his backpack, pulling out a pouch. He asked how much a room was and something warm to eat. The room was cheap, and the food was as well. This was good, considering the fact that Sirion forgot he had almost no money. He took the room, as well as two hot spiced soups to be sent to the rooms, and handed the man a few gold pieces. With that, he sat down and waited patiently, staying quiet and still as a statue, regardless of who tried to speak to him.

Ski had found the healer easy enough. Which would make sense considering a healer was someone in the high demand. There were not costumers either so it made it easer to be seen. The healer a kind old man examed Ski's wound taking notice to a few others over her body. Like the ones on her arm and face. There were healing nicely he would remark from time to time. It seemed whatever Sirion had given her was working very well.
After a short visit she left the healers with a warm smile and having gotten something for the remaining pain. Wandering back to the Inn she opened the door pulling back the hood on Sirion's cloak she searched the room for him in a the cloud of thick smoke.

He stood at the sight of Ski, motioning for her to follow. After she did, he lead her to the room which he rented for the night. It was quite large, sporting a bed that would fit two people easily, a decent blanket, a closet, a table, and on the table was their food. He pulled out the chair for Ski, sitting in his own after he did, sure she would want to eat the food in front of them.
It looked good. It was like a vegetable soup, with carrots and onions and a bit of cooked beef. The broth was a amber color, and it smelled great. Steam rose off of it in nice patterns.
"So, what did the healer say? Will you be fine?" he asked, not bothering to eat his food yet.

Ski looked down at the bowl and took in the sent as much as she could. It did smell really tasty. Even after going without for so long it would be that much better. Taking off Sirion's cloak she laid it over the chair to dry as she looked him.
"He said that the wounds were healing wonderfully. Whatever you gave me must have helped a great deal. Thank you Sirion." she said with a smile looking down at her bowel before taking a small amount and blowing on it softly before tasting the soup. Making an Mmming sound at the fresh taste of food.

"A healer said that, hm? That's good. I'm glad it worked," he said, taking a sip as well, "Oh, this is good... And if you didn't notice, there should be a fresh change of clothes in the closet. But before that, I heard an interesting conversation. These two miners were talking of a hot spring they uncovered underground, if you're interested," he said, taking another sip. He didn't know of where else to get a bath, so he figured he'd bring that up, since that was one of the things she said she needed.

Steadily eating her soup she listened to Sirion. A hot spring did sound very nice. Her body was chilled from the rain and staying outside, but already she was starting to feel much better. Now all they needed as a good nights rest and maybe some relaxtion before the little game started all over once again.
Looking at Sirion as she took a break from her bowl she smiled.
"That does sound rather nice, and with the way this city seems to move I am sure by now they have made that hot spring into some kind of bath place in order to make some money. That would seem the only logical thing with such a grand city as this." She said with a bright smile returning to her bowl now as she finished it off more then happy with the full feeling of food in her stomach.

"Money...?"
Damn... he thought.
"Well, funny story about that, actually... Well, no, not really. I paid my last few gold pieces for this room and the food. Sorry," he said, looking at the almost empty pouch on the table. Nothing but coppers and silvers in it now, and if they charged, then there's no way that'd be enough, "Well, it's no big deal, we can gather some water tomorrow and I'll heat it myself if I need to. For now we should focus on relaxing while we're able."
He finished his soup, putting his bowl on top of Ski's and moving them to the side. He didn't know if he was supposed to return them or not, but he'd figure out later. He sighed, looking at the ceiling and pondering where to get the water.

Ski stopped and thought about it. She had never really taken advantage of an inn or hot food. She generally stole everything she needed for fear of being caught by her father's men. A life as a thief was a easy one to hide in. And over the years of living like that and never spending anything in anything that wasn't needed she had collected a great deal of money. Plus the little extra she took from her father's men when they tried to take her.
Fishing around in one of her large pockets there was no end to the things she kept hidden on her body. It took her a long while before she brought out a rather large money pouch setting it on the table as it made a loud cling noise. It was clear the pouch was full, mainly of gold she had one for each different type of coins she collected from the wealthy people she generally targeted.
"That is not a problem I have more then enough to spare." Ski said with a bright smile looking at Sirion. It was the least she could do for him after all the trouble he was going through for her.
