When you emerge from your sequestered bath, around an hour or so after you sank beneath the warm water, you notice the fine purple and green dress you had been admiring some days ago laid out gently on your bed, with nary a wrinkle to be found. A crisp piece of parchment is folded atop the dress. You also notice a set of leather armor with impressions of dolphins, fish, and shells laid out for you. Finally, between dress and armor, there is a coil of very fine rope twisted and bound into a transportable bundle.
[ +- ] Folded Parchment
Cat holds the letter to her chest, a lump forming in her throat. She resists the urge to run and find Rolen right this moment and hug him tight. The poor thing! She puts the letter down gently on the bed and admires the dress and the armor, running her fingers over the patterns. So pretty when she was admiring them back in the shop, priceless now that she knows the gifts come from Rolen's heart. She sits on the bed and picks the letter back up, reading it over and over. What should I do?

Ada thanks the man for the cold brew before chugging it done and leaving the bar in search of a church of some sort

You easily find a small chapel, however, the door is locked and no lights burn inside when you get there. It's about a 10 minute walk between the chapel and the tavern.

Ada sits down near the door and struggles to stay awake before falling asleep on the ground

Tick tock timey wimey stuff.

The morning sun crests the horizon. Aera and Xavena, as you're sleeping outside, you're some of the first awake.

Those of you in rooms in the tavern, a gentle knock on the door starts your rousing process if you aren't already awake.

Ara, shortly before the sunrise, you are awoken by a gentle shake. When you open your eyes, a haggard looking man in worn vestments looks down at you with a smile.

Come in lass, come have a drink and some bread.

Ada wakes quickly Yes Sir thank you. Ada quickly dusts off the best she can and taking a knee before entering the chapel

When you make your way into the chapel, the priest leads you to a side room with a simple table with warm loaves of bread, a few casks of watered wine, and a basket of apples. A teen girl and boy in simple clothes, each with a similar look about them, sit on either side of the table eating a bit. The old man sits at the head and gestures to the benches.

Please, sit, join us.

Cat, who fell asleep curled up on the bed with Rolen's letter clutched tightly to her chest, wakes at the knocking. "Who is it?"

Evelyn Larkbill, love. We met last night. I've got your hot breakfast. Would ye like cider or ale this morning? a soft voice says through the door. You recognize her from the tavern last night, one of the serving ladies.

Cat opens the door for Evelyn. "Good morning. Uh, cider, please." she says in a small voice. It's obvious she's been crying.

Krieger answers the door somewhat irritably, having been interrupted in his morning preparations. "Yes, yes, what is it?"

Ada sits at the table and eat very little before saying Priest I am struggling with my faith.

I stand outside the inn, waiting for the others to rouse and leave.

Baraq rouses from her outdoor slumber at first light. The events of the prior evening were not to her liking, and she is eager to leave this boring little town to continue the journey.

Part of Catriona is glad Evelyn has made no comment about her tear-swollen eyes and the dress on the bed, but another part of her wishes she could confide in the woman. She takes her meal gratefully and washes her face. Then she dresses in her travel clothes and the beautiful leather armor. She takes the bundle of rope and examines it carefully before strapping it to her pack. Then, all geared up for the day's adventure, she takes a deep breath and goes down to the common room.

Where she finds Rolen, passed out with his face buried in his arm at one of the tables; a tankard lays on it's side next to him, the contents have since spilled out on the table and floor.

OOC:
Apologies for the delays everyone...
Krieger, at your question, you hear through the door, It's Evelyn. Evelyn Larkbill sir. I've come to bring your breakfast and find out if you'd prefer cider or ale this morn?

Ada, as you you come out with your statement, he looks down at you with a quiet kind of sorrow in his eyes. But you recognize the signs my child. You are not so far turned from the light that you are incapable of return. Please, tell me of your struggle.

The rest of you that purchased breakfast options are given your choice of drink. If you didn't purchase an amenity, you are able to partake of the cold cheese and warm bread available in the tavern proper. Those of you at the other inn, they have a bowl of fruit available to choose from and drinks for purchase.

Baraq gobbles down breakfast, huge chunks swallowed through her gullet. One her meal is done, she waits outside by the wagon for the others to depart.

I've allowed others to harm people. I couldn't stop them them. They were all killed. I understand the reasoning but even bandits and thieves should be allowed redemption. No one really knows their struggles. I should have tried harder.

After some indecision, Catriona squares her shoulders, marches over to Rolen, and taps him on the shoulder "Rolen. Wake up."
