She laughed at Jeris's extended version of her story. Her green eyes lighting up at the very thought of a giant opo-opo rushing the gate. It was then that she noticed a most peculiar feeling was starting to overtake her. A warm haze that caused her to feel more relaxed than before. One that caused the room to keep moving for the briefest of seconds when she shifted her gaze around the table.
The attention was once again on her. Why are they staring? She asked herself. Then remembered. Hyrstmill. Why had she been there. Of course.
She took another long drink (The bitter taste was gone, she know found it somewhat enjoyable) and smiled.
"Well to be completely honest. I was lost." She said. "I had wandered out into the Shroud looking for water spirits and got completely turned around. Hyrstmill was the first place I happened upon."
It should have been an embarrassing thing to admit, but Linette shrugged and lifted her mug. When it lowered, she pointed at Muin and Soji.
"Why were you two there?" Then, as if not to leave anyone out, her attention shifted to Jeris, one finger poking at him.
"Don't think you are off the hook either, why were you... Er..." She paused, one shutting as she thought. "Why were you..."
Finally it hit her. Much like Opo-opo's rock had yesterday. The words tumbled out of her mouth, twinged with just as much confusion as excitement.
"Why would you use bandages and not a healer for those bruises?"

Promise only what you are prepared to deliver.
