It certainly was quiet. The only other company, aside fromGerun, that Aoi shared was a pair of hyur women toward the center of the tavern looking as though they were comparing some sort of notes, and the various guards at the entrances around the Quicksand. It was still early, of course; the patrons didn’t normally start filtering in until at least another hour or two after Aoi entered the inn.
Considering she was really the only moving piece in thetavern itself, Gerunthian’s eyes followed Aoi as she moved. Analytically he took in the silk draped over her form, the gun on her back and the extra one strapped at her side. Well, she certainly was prepared for the worst; the thought made him grin, taking another sip of his ale. That, or she was up to the worst.
Premature conclusions weren’t the best idea, particularlyconsidering the only weapon he had on him was a knife concealed inside his leather jacket and the sword strapped to his own hip. Neither of those would dohim any good at a distance, and he was no caster. Plus, she’d really not shown any sign of hostility in the first place.
He was beginning to wonder if time had frozen her with her teain front of her eyes when she set it down and pulled her visor out. He couldn’t see the details, but she seemed intent on doing something with the tools shehad out. The Guard-Captain leaned forward a bit, brow furrowed and eyes squinting to try and get a better look without being particularly noticeable.
