I just noticed, nice Banana-style hair Purvis.

>Await, checking on our current condition in the meanwhile, how are our clothes ? Any injuries ? How tired are we ?

>You wait.

>Await, checking on our current condition in the meanwhile, how are our clothes ? Any injuries ? How tired are we ?

>Your clothes are going to need a wash when you get home. You are happy to sit down, but you're not really tired. It isn't even noon yet. You have only one injury, the one you got yesterday from the wumpus. The salve you've applied to it has healed it quite a bit, it's just a scabbed-over scratch across your stomach now.

> Keep waiting for...about twenty minutes for someone to appear.

>You settle in to wait. Your eyes are drawn to the pictures of sheep, who are depicted with exceptional detail and who all look to be ripe for the sheering.  You can't find any source of fire for the lights, and the give off no heat. Perhaps they are magical things? The clay tiles on the ground are very nice, you wonder if they were made here, or if they were imported by the merchant above, or perhaps Rinnosuke himself? It was interesting to find that he eventually came back to the shop...
>It's hard not to get a little antsy waiting for someone to come. Part of you wants to pace, but you feel that would be a poor showing on your part and stay put.
>Eventually, as you start to reach your breaking point, you hear footsteps down one of the halls, the one opposite of the one Ellen disappeared down! They draw steadily closer, until a tall woman in green robes steps out. A pair of impressive horns extend from her temple, reaching up nearly a foot and a half and making the tall woman seem even larger. You find yourself comparing her to Iratsume, but aside from her horns and being on the tall side, they have little in common. This woman is slender, with long grass-colored hair that follows behind her. There is something about the way that she carries herself that reminds you of a deer, a sort of feeling that she might run at any moment.
>The woman regards you with red eyes, then says, almost too quiet to hear, "How did you find me?"

>There is a long, painful silence as she makes her way toward toward a chair and sits. Even then, she doesn't seem to relax, you have the feeling she could be on her feet and running in an eyeblink.
>"...I am more disappointed in her than reassured," she says. "But for now, we'll leave it at that."

>"She lived out in the open, heedless to the danger to herself. She walked among the dangerous and the hostile with little concern. And then she died before her time, and there was no one to set the passage of history," says the hakutaku.
