Eden dropped a large sack of coins into the woman's hand. the woman stared at it, then smiled at them.
"Well, you just got six horses!"
Poppy was still staring at the bag of coin in the woman's hand, so Eden stepped forward.
"Thank you. Oh, may we leave the horses tethered up here until we return with the rest of our party?" Eden asked.
To Poppy's ears, she sounded like some sort of courtier, the way she was speaking with such form.
They headed to the main street, and bumped into Victoria and Paisley, who were laden down with blankets and sacks of food.
"Oh! Hey, guys. I hope you got those horses!" Victoria said, half-joking
"Actually we did. A...rich stranger helped us out." Eden lied. Poppy hesitated, then nodded. "Yup. Er, a very rich stranger."
Victoria and Paisley were happily surprised by this.
They continued through the streets until they saw Warren and Arden hovering outside an inn.
"Warren! Arden!" They called. The two looked up from their conversation, and waved the group over.
"We got rooms, thanks to-" Arden started.
"Let's just get in! It's getting dark and the half off dinner doesn't last long!" Warren said, pulling them inside.
They sat at a table. Unappetizing food sat in front of them.
"Ugh, this stuff smells disgusting. I'd rather live in the sewer tunnel than eat this stuff!"
They laughed.
"Well," Victoria suggested, "We might as well turn in. What rooms are ours?"
"Actually, we got three."
