Jake blinked, looking at the healer. Silence lingered for a moment before he opened his mouth to speak. While doing so, the innkeeper waved over one of the other people from the near empty tavern, speaking to them. It wasn't intentionally secretive, but Jake didn't notice it over his own voice. "Well, erm, nice to meet you Crysiss." He turned his head, looking at the other woman briefly, who gave him a flat stare. "You too Odessa." After turning slightly, his eyes lingered on the door to the rooms while he continued talking. "I'm Jake. My friend is called John. And, I, erm... don't know the girl's name. I think I recognise her from somewhere though."
The innkeeper's conversation partner left, swiftly leaving the Inn. The oak door slammed behind him with a loud thud. Crysiss and Odessa's eyes followed the movement although Jake seemed unphased or uncaring, whether or not they planned to react to it further in any way was left unknown; the innkeeper himself began walking towards the trio.
"Jake." The man had a gruff voice. Straight and to the point. "I sent for David. He should be here soon."
The two women looked at the men, questioningly. Both were short-term visitors of the town and unlike the residents, they were unfamiliar with the aforementioned name. Jake didn't notice their looks, and instead chose to direct a reply back at the innkeeper before either could ask their questions. Nonetheless, they assumed the man was important in some way.
"Oh, yeah. What about Garreth? Is he coming as well?"
"He's managing the mines. Some sort of problem with operations. This is more a matter for David, given our patient." Looking at the questioning looks from the women, he elaborated. "David is Lyra's father, Lyra being the girl Jake's friend brought here. You and John best have your stories ready for when he arrives."

Quote:Sorry it's short. I figured I'd better get it moving. You can write David turning up if you want. John will come back in in a minute. If you have any edit suggestions for dialogue or anything else, tell me (I'll PM it to you if/when I edit so you still have a copy).
