The boys just nodded, and started to get ready to sleep.
They'd been on the road for weeks by this point, and had managed to cross the border as well. It hadn't been the easiest, but they had managed it, and were now putting serious distance between them and that travelling band of hunters.
After another night in the woods, they saw a small town in the distance, and approached it. Stepping into it, they saw it seemed like a close-knit place, but large enough for some commerce. Overall, a nice place to live, it seemed.
"...maybe here?" Ashley suggested.
"This looks like a place where we can find a new home."

"And you two can sleep in a proper bed again." she added with a light laugh.
"Looking forward to that?" there was some concern to her voice, even though those that didn't know her couldn't identify it. The boys could though, however subtle as it was.

The boys nodded.
"That'd be nice, yes." Ashley agreed.
"...is something wrong?" Lindsay then asked.
"You seem worried." he commented, having picked up on it. "Why?" he asked her.
As he asked, Ashley looked around, scanning the area.
He was wondering if she knew something THEY didn't.

"Anyhow, I think the inn is this way." With that, she started to head off in what seemed like a random direciton.

The boys were silent for a moment, and then followed her in the direction she had gone. As they walked with her, and into the town proper, they saw that it really was a bustling place. A lot of people were milling about, doing their business and such... and many were looking at the trio and whispering amongst themselves.
The boys wondered if it was just because they were new, or... something else.
Regardless, they tried to not let it bother them, and continued along their way.
They kept walking until they saw the Inn come into view in the distance, and the boys smiled.
"Looks welcoming." Lindsay commented.

Two rooms, ease. Preferably side by side."[/b] she stated simply, calmly.
"Been awhile." she added with a slight smirk. She could feel his presence, and she knew that he likely felt hers, as well.

The one behind the desk had been organising the keys, and seemed to tense up for the briefest of moments when he heard her voice, but she knew it would only be because he was still adjusting to her presence here. It had been a sudden appearance, after all.
He then turned around and looked at her, before smiling back.
"A bit." he responded.
"And two rooms, side by side?" he asked, before checking the records book.
"...does it HAVE to be side by side, or can they be across from each other?" he asked her.

"Also, name your price. I don't know how much you charge here." She added.
"I just know what you were charging in the past, when I saw you as an innkeep what... a century and a half ago?" She asked

He thought for a moment, before nodding.
"Yeah, we can do that." he said.
"And things haven't changed." he told her. "Still the same price as ever." he said further... before chuckling. "For you, anyway." he added, shaking his head a little.
"Also, 2 centuries." he corrected her, before noticing Ashley and Lindsay.
"Seems a lot's changed since then." he commented.

| ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴘɪɴɢ ᴍᴇ!"If you want to catch up, we can talk in the room." Anya stated. "Too many potential ears to hear anything." She added.
"Anyhow, here." As she spoke, she retrieved a pouch of coins from her pocket, and dropped it on the counter.
"Take your price. I don't care what it is, even if you take it all. I have more." She then said.
"Also, do you know of any homes in the area that are available to buy?"
Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Duly noted." the man responded, before taking out about half of what was in the bag, and giving her two keys in exchange.
"I think I shall pay you a visit later." he told her.
"And as for any homes available..." he went on, thinking about it, before snapping his fingers.
"Ah! There actually are." he remembered. "3 or 4 in this town, actually." he said further.
"I can show you them tomorrow, before I start work." he offered her.

"For now, we will leave you to your work." she then said as she accepted the keys, and the pouch of money.
"Just direct me in the right direction for the rooms, and I'll make sure the boys aren't problematic, as well." She didn't really think they would be, just knew that some inns would hesitant about letting young people stay there.

He shook his head.
"No worries." he said. "This inn is welcoming to all kinds. Especially to you." he told her with a small wink.
"Anyway, you want to head up the stairs, take a left, and then another left, last two rooms at the end of the hallway." he directed her. "Rooms 15 and 16." he specified further.
With that, Anya and the boys took their leave, with the man waving to them, and the boys waving back a little hesitantly.
"...do you know him?" Ashley asked when they were heading up the stairs.

"Perfect." she said with a nod, giving a key to the boys.
"You two get one, I'll take the other." She added.

Ashley accepted the key, and when he unlocked the door it went to, he looked inside to see that there were, in fact, two beds in the room. Which was nice, seeing at the man hadn't actually told them which room was which.
However, that hadn't been a big deal. If this one had had just the one, they would have simply swapped rooms.
The boys then looked at Anya, and nodded.
"Is there anything you want us to do or anything?" Lindsay asked.
"If nothing, then odds are Ashley and I will simply stay in the room until it's time to eat."

"For now, to rest. I'll be across the hall here." She paused, looking into the room she was by. "If you need anything, just come knocking. Oh, I will have a spider in there, for just in case." She added before stepping up to the doorway to their room and peering in. She reached in as she did so, leaving a single spider on the wall.
"That way, if something does happen... I can help."
Forgive, O Lord,

The boys looked at the spider and nodded.
"All right." they said in unison.
"We'll see you later." Ashley told her, as the two stepped into the room.
They then waved to her, before shutting the door, and Anya could hear them start to unpack their things, and they sounded to be getting settled in for the time being. It seemed like they were safe.

She knew it wasn't an extremely secure place, but she did hope that the innkeep would, at least, grant discretion and not tell people she was there, for the moment.
At least, if anyone came looking.

She was sitting there, pondering her and the boys' future for about 10 minutes, before she heard a knock on her door.
"Hello?" the man from the front desk's voice said.
"You in?" he asked.
She got up and made her way over, opening it, and saw the man there.
"Got a bit of a break from the desk." he commented.
"Wanted to come see you."
