It was a few hours later when they entered Huriste. Tara was exhausted. She needed to rest. They'd left far too soon.
Even the bar wasn't as tempting as she would have liked.
"..we should find an inn.." she said quietly. "..maybe.. just check in for a night..."

Edan had kept quiet during the travel. It was something he was good at. Watching others, knowing their moves before they did. He became rather well trained at this. His eyes were always watching the Elves, not that he didn't trust them. It was just that he didn't know alot of them. This concerned him greatly.
Suddenly he froze in his place. His body not being able to move, the sight infront of him brought a flood of memories back. He didn't want to believe it.
"Wha..what is he doing here?" Edan said, in a rather anxious voice, low enough so hopefully no one heard.
Just down the street was a man in a dark hooded cloak, his face barely seen. Still Edan recognized him immediately. It was the man from years passed. The man who had virtually turned him into a slave and who Annette and freed him from.
Edan turned his head hoping that it was just a trick of the light, but when he turned back. The man was still there.
"Umm. We..we should go another way." Edan spoke, in a tone of voice that was uncommon for him.

"Why?" Nyx asked in a tone that was low and impatient.
Tara stared for a minute. It was...
"..goddamn. He's still alive." she muttered. Her eyes went back to Edan. "..we could run.. or destroy this problem now.."
"What? what's wrong?" Meri asked.

Edan wasn't sure what to do, it was like he bacame incapable of anything aother than just staring at the man. His mind snapped back to reality when he heard Tara and Meri's voices.
"I..ca." He sighed "We can't do that. We have something that we must do." He smiled, a rather blantent attempt at easing his tension. "Do we not. I was fooling, we should just go forward. It was years ago, stuff of the passed."
He knew that Tara would not believe anything he said, but still hoped she would understand. Edan was concerned with Meri though, he hoped that this would never happen. That this part of his past, she would never know.

She didn't. "... I don't want to let that bastard wander around like this." she answered. "..but.. I really don't have the strength to go through all this stuff right now anyway.. I'm too tired.."
"Who is he? Whats wrong?" Meri insisted.
Nyx shook her head. They were strange...
She moved ahead for the inn.

Dyrza was away from the group off in the town. Compleatly oblivious to what was happening with his sister and the others. Tain on the other hand was there with Nyx. He poked her on the shoulder and asked "Ummmm... who.. IS that guy?" He spoke in a quiet voice, but loud enough to where she should hear him, obviously.

Edan was becoming uncomfortable with all of this. "Let's just get moving. It's late and we all need to rest. This matter can be delt with later." He said, grabbing Meri's hand gently but firmly and pulling her along with him. His hands shaking.

Meri held his hand tightly. Her best friend was sad and she didn't know why.
It was greatly upsetting her, and she tried to be as reassuring as she could as they walked on.
"...Edan, tell me what's going on.."
Nyx sighed, and shook her head at Tain. "..an old enemy? I have no idea.."

Tain shrugged. He didn't care for following orders from the rest of them, so he deliberatly walked off in the other direction. He was an odd one like that. "Yeah, Dyrza's still in town." He yelled to Nyx and the rest. He was about five feet from the man. "I'm gonna go find him" He yelled out. The only reason he was being fine with yelling out, seeing most elves didn't like brining attention to themselves was beause his hair hung long on his head and covered his ears from being noticed. "I'll be back later" He yelled once again.

Edan became stiff, his hand stopped shaking. Turning his head slightly hoping the man wouldn't see him, nor recognize him. Why did Tain have to do that.
Edan looked around hoping to see some place he could go, some dark hole he could crawl into and hope that it was all a bad dream. His eyes locked instantly onto the Inn that was down the street.
He shifted his hand inside of Meri's and started to walk forward with a new zeal.
The man looked at Tain confussed, but his eyes had been on Edan. He knew full well who he was and the time would come soon that they would meet. The time was however not now, so he kept quiet. Acting like he haden't noticed.

Meri frowned, trying to follow the man's eyesight. But her blind eye was on that side and she couldn't really see him well.
"..E..Edan?" she asked quietly. "What's wrong?"
Nyx sighed, waving at Tain. Idiot. He might be able to blend in, but her and Dryza couldn't.
Tara walked into the inn, reserving them two rooms. One for the men, one for the women..

Tain had been living with humans for nearly a year now. He had grown accustomed to some of their traits. The most that he was able to do were that
1) They were loud
2) They smelt bad
3) They were generaly rude
4) And they never appoligised
He taught himself these things, and knew how to act when around humans. He kind of just assumed that Nyx and Dyrza did too. After about five minutes of searching, he found him and worked his way for him. Although it was night, there were still a few people in the streets, but it didn't take him long to get there. He came up behind him and kind of hit him by putting his hand on his shoulder. Dyrza jumped and hand his hand on his sword on his left side, almost ready to draw it. "Hey! We're going back to the Inn now. Hurry up!"
Dyrza was scopping out the town. Mumbling to himself saying stuff like "now if this was here, and this here. Why, this could be a town for war. What a mess" and stuff like the such. Trying to plan out the city. They walked around for a few more minuets to find where they were. Tain noticed the man who he yelled next to from before, he noticed him because no one else wore what he did. Tain walked up to him and ran into him on purpose "Ohh, sorry Guy" sounding rude on purpose. "Ohh, yeah you're the guy I yelled near before.. Do you know where the Inn is? Sorry, we're new around here, and we don't know." He pointed at Dyrza and himself, Dyrza trying to hide his face from his friend being moronic.

The man dusted the dirty off of himself and smiled back, recognizing instantly what he was. Still keeping it to himself. "Oh, yeah the Inn is just a few blocks over there" He pointed down the street. Where you the one accompaning the others" He grinned.
----
Edan was quiet in his room seeing as the only other to guys were the Elves. He had time to calm down. It's no problem, he kept saying to himself. We will be out of this town soon and everything will be fine. He knew that this was far from the truth. He still repeated it to himself, hoping it would seem real at some point.

Nyx was in the other room with Tara, who was equally nervous around her.
"..why don't you ever say anything?" Tara asked. It weirded her out.
Nyx shrugged.
"Oh, don't do that! It's weird.."
Meri left shortly thereafter to knock on Edan's door. She didn't want to sleep with Tara and Nyx.. it was awkward...

"Thanks, guy. And yeah, we are." Tain said. The man smiled and told them "Be safe. This town isn't very safe after dark.. No, not at all. " He walked off, and he let out a small chuckle, that wouldn't be heard by normal people, but Dyrza and Tain heard it just fine. Still trying to be as human like as possible, Tain and Dyrza walked in where he directed them to.
When they were out of range for anybody to hear Dyrza asked him "Why do you have to be such a moron?"
Tain was ahead of Dyrza. He laughed and said "Well, I want to fit in. I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb like sooome people I know." He put alot of emphsas on the word some.
Dyrza just followed him for a few more steps then said aloud "I don't like that guy, he's very queer." Tain shrugged and continued walking. He didn't really like him either, but he didn't think anything of it. He was used to alot of queer and enigmatic people from the year passed.
