Nostawen had been sitting at the table for quite some time now, listening to the star maiden and the others. The dwarf had remained silent, as Nostawen had, for some time now though he seemed to be listening intently to passing conversation.

Nostawen fiddled with her empty cup and noticed that the others also had empty cups and glasses. Having played little part in conversation of late she decided to fetch drinks for the group. Nostawen stood and excused herself. Lifting her skirts in one hand she picked the empty glasses up in the other and made way to the bar.

The inn was crowded, but seemingly quieter than it had been in the past. Nostawen brushed past a tall dark man as she walked across the room. He turned to her and she apologised before continuing across. She placed the empty glasses on the bar top which itself caught the bartenders attention.

"Can I help you my lady?" he questionned. Nostawen replied with a smile, "Yes sir, some more drinks for my company if I may."
"But of course" With that he went off to get the drinks.

Nostawen took a seat at the bar and looked around the room. She pulled her hair away from her face and studied a figure on the other side of the room sitting alone. His face seemed to be covered partially with shadows, which made it hard for the elven maiden to distinguish features and race. The way he held himself suggested elven birth but she could not be sure.

"There my lady" said the bartender as he placed the drinks in front of Nostawen on a tray. He had taken back her attention from the stranger. She thanked the man and turned back to the room. She stood to go back to the table but saw that her friends it seemed had hardly noticed her absence. Elwen was laughing and fiddling with her hair, and tunic, as usual. She had not seen her so happy for a long time. Nostawen sat back down with the tray at the bar and pondered her own thoughts for a moment. She would go back to her friends in a while, for now she would sit where she was, alone.
