It had been a long ride from Santaruz, and Ellie had barely had a moment to rest her back from the ride - but she was glad she'd made a friend of Paige, and for that she couldn't complain. She gnawed on what was left of her leg of lamb and chased it with what was now warm water - too bad, she thought. She scanned the room, keeping a subtle eye on Paige. Taking a last sip, she noticed a large man approaching Paige. Who's the clown?
Before Ellie could come to her friend's aid, the man found himself scuffling with a pear that had conveniently lodged itself in his throat; not much of a threat, as far as appearances go. Paige turned, and the two spoke.
"Well, where's the pincushion..."
Ellie's head snapped to a nearby doorway, a loud laugh coming from beyond the threshold. There she saw Shad, seeming to manage quite well with his injuries, surrounded by a small group. She stood, and made her approach as they spoke.
"...a thing about derailing a meteor, but yeah. One fight and I got hit pretty hard. Cass treated me and said I shouldn't be able to use my sword for a while, until we find someone with a mend staff."
"Cass is here, too? What about Marcus?"
"Leon sent Cass to send me some gold, equipment, and to do some counter intelligence stuff. Marcus and I got separated in Pharae, in a long story, and he went to Bern without me."
"Well, let's get something to eat. I kinda owe Carla for a comment I made still, so I'll pay."
"Um... I hate to interrupt, but do you mind if I tag along?" Ellie smiled shyly in Shad's direction. She cast a quick glance at the others and nodded. One thing was for sure, they shared a lot of physical similarities. She decided with near certainty that they had to be at least somewhat related.
