Lurn huffs, muttering to the others, "Potential thieves in the alley. Can't be certain just by appearances, but still."

Re: Tests and Trials
"Ya, Jolly mentioned it as the second time that day he nearly died. Ya all had a lot of fun this past month." She elbows Jolly, "Some more than others, eh?"
Jolly absently rubs the spot he was run through with a sword, not smiling.
-
Kroshav catches sight of the trio as well. They don't appear to be doing a lot to hide and they are definitely watching.
Indra follows Lurn's gaze and says quietly,
"Spotted those thugs earlier, I think they just look for easy targets. Flashed my sword at them and they scattered. Probably shouldn't wander around alone out here though."
((How you handling the what to do about Charlie situation Spider?))

Re: Tests and Trials
Kroshav will hand Charlie's reins to Lurn or Jolly, before stretching and sauntering over to the trio in the alley.
"Hey there boys, you look like you know the area. Are there any stables around that a paladin of the Fist of the Five could keep their horse safely? Charlie here's a good friend of mine, great horse, and I just got him back from the Duchy's army. I'd be REAL upset if anything were to happen to him... so if you've got any recommendations, it'd be appreciated."
He stands their with a clawed hand resting on the pommel of his sword, smiling all friendly like.
((Let me know if you want a roll here... I'm honestly not sure if he's going more for intimidation or persuasion... maybe being intimidatingly persuasive? ))

Cary is trying her best not to break out laughing at this exchange...She's used to the men hitting on her, or her sister, so this is quite novel.

Re: Tests and Trials
One in the trio laughs but they all mockingly raise their hands and one says,
"Ya, don't wanna make the whateva of the whateva angry by lookin' at it's horse. Best we leave'm be."
The slide back further in the dark, tight and dirty alley. They don't turn their backs on Kroshav until they are a safe (they think) distance away. One makes a rude gesture that starts as a fist.
((Going in the inn? Kroshav suspects the place likely has stabling but nothing is apparent from the front of the establishment.))

"400 is my final, and would dinner be so bad?"

Re: Tests and Trials
Celus hangs out with Lurn while Kroshav and the rest (Jaq?) head inside. The Goat is now lit with a few bright lamps and, for those that were there earlier, is much more lively. Most of the rough tables are filled with people but there are a few open spots here. Many conversations and laughing overlap. The crowd is mixed in age and species, there are even a few younger children running around playing between the tables.
The group's entrance is noted but no one approaches to greet you. Indra looks over the tables and people and points a woman across the room and says,
"That is the woman we paid for rooms and dinner Kroshav." She surveys the room and lack of seating, "We can wait for a table to open up or sit separated? Maybe eat up in our rooms?" She guides Kroshav over to the woman who is busy talking with man dusted in flour, some of that dust settling to the floor around him. She glances over, eyes gliding off Kroshav and settling on Indra, as she says, "Hold up Haer- Welcome back, find a seat and the servers will come round to you." Indra quickly explains that Kroshav needs stabling and the woman nods and yells towards a door, "Yimi! Yimi get up here!" A young girl explodes out of the door, that looks to be the kitchen. The woman sighs and says, "This...person... needs help stabling their horse can you take him round?" The little girl's eyes widen in joy and she charges forward and grabs Kroshav's shirt, in a hurry, and starts 'dragging' him back out the front. Before Kroshav can walk away the woman says, "It'll be two silver, that comes with feed 'course and Yimi will bush it down an' all that."
Outside Celus and Lurn watch people move about their business in the street. Lurn gets a few have interested glances but nothing hostile. The people here in the 'Skirts (which someone probably mentioned was the name of the area) are clearly on the lower social rankings and are nearly all human with smatterings of gnome, halfling and an occasional dwarf or tiefling walking by. Many of them are covered in black soot and most likely have been working in the burnt down westside of time.

Re: Tests and Trials
An amused Kroshav lets Yimi 'drag' him outside after tossing a couple silver onto the counter.
"Greetings, Yimi. I'm Kroshav, and this is my good friend Charlie. Charlie, this is Yimi."

Re: Tests and Trials
Yimi continues to pull until she gets outside with Kroshav, nodding as he introduces himself but not turning.
"Ya, come on." Not unfriendly but very, very distracted.
Her eyes quickly scan the street and find the only riding horse nearby. She pulls Kroshav over to Charlie and takes charge of the horse from Lurn, whispering soft things up to Charlie and gently petting him. She then forgets about Kroshav and begins taking Charlie away, around the side of the inn, still cooing and petting.
((Kroshav letting her take care of Charlie on her own or coming to check his lodging? What Lurn doing?))

Re: Tests and Trials
Kroshav thanks Lurn for holding Charlie's reins, and follows the girl. He at least wants to know where Charlie is staying, and make sure he's settled in, and make sure the gear is off him and cared for.

Re: Tests and Trials
Seeing that the girl came out of the inn attached to Kroshav, Lurn lets her take the reins, chuckling softly, "It seems like the girl is fond of horses. I'd say that's a good sign. See you inside, Kroshav."

Re: Tests and Trials
Yimi leads Charlie, and by extension Kroshav, to a small stable connected by a wall to the inn. Yimi approaches a large door on the stable and then looks up and down the alley, narrowing her eyes. She see gives Kroshav a long, hard look before deciding to produce a key from around her neck and opening up the door and leading Charlie in. She watches Kroshav come in after suspiciously but doesn't say anything as she escorts Charlie to one of five stalls. Only one other stall is occupied, by what looks to be a donkey. There are no proper windows but a few boards have been cut out to provide something approximating them. It is pretty rough work, but it is clean and there is fresh straw in the stall Charlie is placed in. Yimi moves behind Kroshav as he enters and looks up and down the alley again before closing the door and locking it. She gives Kroshav another look before quickly setting about trying to remove Kroshav's things from Charlie, still petting and now singing softly to the horse.
With Kroshav's help she gets everything off, fills a trough with water for Charlie and a bucket with some feed before getting a brush and a stool. She begins thoroughly brushing Charlie, occasionally checking what Kroshav is doing but otherwise ignoring him. The donkey gives Kroshav a bored look.
Lurn and Celus enter and join the rest waiting for a couple tables to clear. It seems like they got there at the end of the dinner rush so before Kroshav gets back the tables clear and are rapidly cleaned for them to sit. Lurn finds a chair that is mostly just the stump of a tree and will most certainly hold him. In short order there is bread and soup on the tables for taking. Celus looks around at the others and asks,
"What'd you all get up to this afternoon? Well spent period out of the army?"
