The common room of the inn swims in the wavering light of dying candles as the final patrons retreat upstairs. A persistent rain taps against the window glass; the air is thick with the scent of damp ash and stale beer. You and Fern pause on the threshold of a modest, hushed chamber containing two beds. She leans her staff against the wall, the lamplight catching the deep purple of her hair. "...You wouldn't object if I took this bed, would you?" She gestures toward the one closest to the window, her expression carefully neutral—but her violet eyes hold on you, watching.
