"That's a good point," she said with a nod. "If he's just avoiding you than that would just make him more upset and defeat the purpose of trying to settle things."
Oh dear. Now that was something she hadn't thought of. Someone actually wanting to stay at an inn. She should have kept her mouth shut. But to say no would just be rude and it would be nice to have someone else new to the area around. And she honestly didn't think that little puppet was a bad fellow. He'd probably just lay low and that was okay, she wouldn't dream of kicking the little guy out since he was her hero. "We aren't officially taking patrons yet, but I know we plan to." And her mother would never say never to anyone wanting to stay, though she would charge them full price despite not being open. "So if you need a place to stay, you're welcome to stay there. But I do have to warn you that um.. there was an incident last night. Someone broke in and attacked me, so the police are investigating still and I'm still doing some work there as well. It could be a little less than acceptable to some."
