It was a bit of an adventure. Some people might find it stressful, but those people haven't had a Harrowing, so. Really, the worst it got was this fifty-year-old woman who kept trying to touch his hair, but once he managed to ditch her, it went smoothly enough. He went into each room with a dustmop to reach the spots the elves couldn't, and made sure he was extremely thorough. So thorough, in fact, that he was dusting under the floorboards. The instant he had what he needed, he left everything and booked it.

Now he peers through the gloom and smoke of the inn until he meets Bastien's gaze. His chin jerks up, and he steps back out through the door, into the night.

[cozen]

Bastien's quick to follow, or as quick as he can be while also being casual and unrushed and taking a slight detour on the way out to flick the coin down onto the ground for the girl beneath the table. Only a short one. And then he's found Colin in the dark, which he shortly makes a little less dark with bits of flint and then a cigarette, while he says, "Did you have fun? Make friends?"

[keenly]

"It was interesting," Colin replies honestly, before patting one of his pockets. "The one who really made friends was A., though. Friends his da didn't approve of."

He looks away and up at the road ahead.

"We might want to book it back home," he says quietly.
