While Ellie searched for her companions, she happened upon Paige and Cecily as they left the tanner's shop. The ladies joined Ellie, with Cecily suggesting she remain close in the same way she would a child. Ellie smirked but said nothing, choosing instead to follow and listen; to what she wasn't sure, but what was said next was not what she expected.
"But not too close. We're headed to the bath house,"
Damn.
Ellie looked at Cecily, pondering... she was no stranger to hiding who she was, that much was clear. Perhaps she could be trusted with another secret...
"What do you all think of this place? It's much quieter than any village in Pherae. But I feel it shouldn't be, what with a festival on its way. There has to be a connection with what is happening with Shad's family."
"You're right. Even growing up in the slums, Bern has always been busy," Ellie replied. She thought back momentarily to her youth before she spoke again. "If we're going to the bathhouse, do you think we could sit down for a meal first? There are some things we need to talk about."
She dropped her juvenile tone and forgot about Eli for a moment. The secret was going to come out if Leroy arrived regardless, would be best to skip an awkward scene at the bathhouse; at least, that's what she figured.
