Aylwen began to lead the new patron through the halls of the White Horse, taking the man called Eric to the front of the Inn. Taking a sharp turn Aylwen lead him up the stairwell to the rooms on the upper levels. When they had gotten to the top of the stairs the Innkeeper turned down the hallway of the second floor, stopping in front of the third door on the right. She opened the door for Eric, gesturing with a gentle sweep of her arm for him to enter the room. He took a step into the room, and Aylwen winced when he just so happened to step on a squeaky floorboard.
"Is the room to your liking, Master Eric?" Aylwen asked, hoping that he might ignore the occasional squeal of a floorboard. He surveyed the room, his hand rubbing his chin for a moment before shaking his head in approval. Aylwen smiled when he nodded his acceptance. "Meals will always be available, and if you have any other needs or wishes, just call for me or ask one of the maids..."
The Innkeeper paused for a moment, thinking about this new arrival.
"Master Eric? Do you know how long you might be staying in Edoras?"
