Roa looked from the woman to the pair of men. They could wait. She looked to her kinswoman, and motioned for her to keep a watch on the boy. The Ranger woman nodded. She the looked at the Innkeeper and said, "My name is Roa, at your service." Roa turned to the man. "Well, let's get going. If you have never seen what happens when fire hits ale, you do not want to. Now move." Roa took one last look around, then took off at a run towards the Inn dragging the man behind her. If he had set the fires, she would need to keep a close eye on him. Again, she wished she had slept a littler longer instead of walking all night. But there was nothing for it, and she was here now. The sting in her arm was worsening.
She stopped for a moment, and pulled out her rag again. This time she tied it tightly around her mouth. She also wrapped her cape around her head. The man gave her an odd look. "Smoke allergy," she explained. He said nothing so she kept at it. Her hair was red enough as it was, she didn't need it catching fire. Thank you Ulmo for sending the rain. Wincing as she reached for the man again, Roa took off towards the building. She prayed to Eru that her lungs could hold out long enough. Roa took a deep breath of fresh air before plunging in to the building.
