[IRP] Secrets of the Empire

[Toogee]

As Paige was talking to Tareya, the woman that Gunoy was eager to come back to came to them. She started to apologize for the “big lug” and introduced herself as Klara. It seemed Gunoy was too distracted to give out his own name, so Paige continued.

“It’s quite alright,” Paige replied to Klara. “The water was very much appreciated. Nice to meet you, Klara, my name is-”

Paige’s name was called out by a familiar face at the adjacent table.

“Shad?” she replied back as she turned her head. It was indeed the same Shad that helped them with the bandits a couple days ago. He seemed to be back on his feet and well enough to travel. Shad also brought a couple of his entourage. One of them, Wolfram, introduced them and apologized for the interruption. There was a lot of apologizing going around, but Paige didn’t mind the interruptions. It certainly made her break much more interesting.

“It’s good to see you well,” Paige replied to Shad, flashing a smile. She then turned to Wolfram, who was quickly examining Tareya.

“It’s Ok, we’ve met before,” she said of his apology. “Actually, I’m headed back to Castle Pherae. I’ll be sure she gets rest and care at the infirmary if she needs it.”
