Yup, hiatus sounds good. I'm working an obscene numbers of hours a week and barely have time to scratch myself. I'm going to give the dungeon crawl a miss too.

"Soothsayer," I say, peering dubiously at an undercooked black pudding. "Out here people expect weirdness and undead. And Mari is both."

I shrug.
"Everything. The people don't fit the building in appearance or mannerisms. The bartender asked if I wanted extras but I don't know what he meant. But we got a very good price. I can't make head nor tail of it."

I go back to the group.
"Okay. We have rooms. The inn is strange though. I can't put my finger on why."

I look around trying to discern his meaning.
"I'm sorry, it's been a long day. I don't get your meaning."

"That's a no, then," the bartender replies, and quotes Val the surprisingly reasonable price of one galifar per night, meals extra, plus a nominal fee per board of steed or servant.
"Um. Great. Thanks. " I'm completely nonplussed.
"I'll get my Master."

I go up to the bar.
"Good evening. My Master," I emphasise the capital M, "requires lodgings with good food and a private dining room. Can you accommodate him?"

Deciding that discretion is the better part of valour I approach the more subtle of the two inns.
I walk into the taproom and look around.

"Of course sir." I head off down the street looking for a likely inn.
Master Nasty Accident if he keeps that up.

I raise an eyebrow at my new superior.
"We should probably discuss that later when we're not in the street. I'll see what sort of lodgings I can find. In the meantime I suggest that you be a businessman, I'll be your valet and the others can be servants. Mari can be a soothsayer or summat.
"Although I'm not sure how she's going to throw the bones seeing as how she has none," I grin at the ghost.
"Do you have funds for lodgings? I gave money to Astra but seeing as how she is gone..." I shrug, "I doubt that I'll see that again anytime soon."

"Sir. I think you will find mine bitter to your taste. If I may be dismissed, I shall find a reasonably accommodating supply."
I narrow my eyes at her.
"Riiiight...willing blood tastes sweeter Pepper. Remember that."
16
"I'm sorry, did you say, 'nutritional needs'? Like blood? Awfully good of you Pepper but it's a bit icky, don't you think? I'm supposed to seduce you with poetry, music and my piercing gaze, and then eventually you await my presence in a four poster bed wearing a diaphanous gown. Just offering your throat is severely lacking the romance of the transaction.
"That said, should you find your way to filling a small cup with your blood, I would be discretely grateful. I am still a bit weak."

"Sir! Yes, sir!" I salute and exit promptly.
Well, that went well.
I find Val.
"Sir! Private Palatinate reporting as ordered, sir!" Being broken down in rank doesn't embarrass me. Being ordered to report to requisition stings.
I raise an eyebrow.
"Private, is it? Well Private, I did not send for you."

Why is the moose getting dressed for dinner? It is dinner.

oh ffs. An officious dick. Because, you know, that will help heaps where we're going. This peace time military crap is highly overrated. Time to find a new career Val old mate
22
"Thank you sir!" I say, snapping off a better salute.
Oh gods, another officer. This one seems smart though. Nothing worse than a smart officer

"Sir, I'm in a bad way and could really use a rest. "
24
"Well sir, we were minding our own business and some religious fanatics attacked us. This is Mari, and you have surmised correctly that she is a ghost. She is also a staunch ally. Sir."

"Colonel," I say, putting a terrible salute together. "Corporal Valenae, Fighting Fish. "
