Approaching his temporary home away from home, Arden had to stop to admire it for a moment. It wasn't anything spectacular, being about the size of the foyer from one of the grand manors from Brevis. Even still, there was a certain warmth to it that homes in the city seemed to be lacking. Truly...
As the two men discussed where Arden would be able to stay his mind drifted, the thought of a bed of any sort sounding like a gift from the gods themselves. Damhán wasn't wrong when he said Arden wouldn't be able to afford a room at an inn. Truth be told he hadn't slept in an actual bed since he...

As the young would be adventurer grew closer to the town he could feel a small resurgence of energy throughout his body, the thought of reaching his destination giving him the drive he needed to complete this part of the journey. The closer he got, the more quaint the place seemed to become...
Seeing the girl smile so broadly brought no small amount of joy to Arden's own heart. Seeing her try to act like a highborn lady nearly caused him to break out in laughter, simply due to how adorable it was. He was hesitant to leave the girl by herself wandering the road, but he had not seen...

A weary sigh escaped Arden's lips as it seemed his request for guidance went unheeded. It seemed the girl was quite serious when it came to picking flower petals. Well, I suppose I can admire her conviction if nothing else. He knelt down when the cheerful youth skipped over to him, apparently...
