Windheneb and Castar heard voices coming from downstairs. It seemed as though the Inn was beginning to fill up. The two had been talking about the weather and various problems with business, trying to pass the time until it seemed as though the Inn was crowded enough to go downstairs to join the bustle. Hopefully the noise they now heard was the raucous merriment of Inn patrons and not just the staff preparing the Inn for customers.

"Shall we go down?" Windheneb asked, nodding towards the door. Castar shrugged, saying that it could not hurt.

The two made their way down the stairs. Castar saw Aylwen out of the corner of his eye and caught her arm as she was about to bustle by him.

"May we just grab any available seat?" he asked her quietly. She nodded, apologizing and saying she had to be moving along and that she could not really stay to chat. Castar nodded and bade her farewell. He and Windheneb then found an empty table in the corner. They caught a woman's eye and she came to get their drink orders.

"It is not full yet," Windheneb said, smiling at the girl and nodding to the room.

"It will be," the girl said hurriedly, looking around, "And it won't take too long."

Windheneb nodded, thanking the girl for taking the drink orders and smiling again. The girl smiled quickly, then ran off to place their orders.

"She is cute," Windheneb said. Castar just rolled his eyes. He was keeping an eye on Aylwen, himself. He watched her run around the Inn. She had so much to do, yet she managed to do it all. How could she be so efficient? Castar could never even dream of having that much control and yet being so calm and organized. Maybe she would have time later to talk with Castar...

Castar found himself blushing at the thought as their drinks came to the table.
