After the wall on the other side of Aeotha's bath came crashing down, several things had happened in quick succession: first, the sounds of boots on the stairs. Then there was shouting and pounding on the door, at which point Onainat had secured her shiny in her pouch as quickly as possible. The naked elf was a second thought at that point. Aeotha's state of dress became less a concern as a convenience. When two large men, one of them being the innkeeper, barged into their room, Onainat ripped down the curtain that kept the bath separate from the rest of the room. Aeotha sputtered, the innkeeper stared...and stared...

Yes. It was very convenient. She wouldn't have to teleport them out of the inn!

"Time to go!" Onainat chirped, clapping her hands. Aeotha was already scrambling to get the dress on. She was always hauling the poor priestess around. But really, it was a matter of life and death. Well, more a matter of financial life and death. Onainat would die if she had to pay for a wall! Lorien couldn't be too offended. As for the elf, she was a priestess. So she had to forgive Onainat, didn't she?

She and Aeotha managed to make it past the innkeeper before both him and his large bulky friend snapped out of their stupor. Onainat half pushed and half dragged Aeotha down the steps. It was then she noticed that the woman's dress was inside out. Onainat was about to point this out when the innkeeper came barreling after them like a big buffalo of death.

"You destroyed my wall! Damn mages! If I'd known I was hosting magic users I'd have let you sleep in the mud!"

Onainat scrambled toward the door with Aeotha in tow. He wasn't understanding at all. What was wrong with magic? And who did he think he was, being so cruel? She looked over her shoulder and made a face at the innkeeper. "It was an ugly wall anyway!"

"GET OUT!!" the innkeeper roared, throwing a chair at them as they pushed through the entrance. "GET OUT SO I CAN KILL YOU IN THE STREET!!"

"You're too fat!" Onainat shouted in return. What a mean soul! She made another face at him and the innkeeper choked on a growl of supreme rage. She and Aeotha were on the muddied road now. She wasn't very afraid of the innkeeper, but Aeotha could get hurt in a brawl. Still, she couldn't help insulting him back. She made a pig noise at the innkeeper and let Aeotha's arm go finally. "Go back to drinking!"

Her father would be ashamed. So ashamed.
