Selk could care less about the travel to and from. The battles that occurred and the bonds that were made during it all were what he valued. It was true that most of those bonds were newly formed and that they may not last forever or they may grow weak, but they were there now and that was good enough for him. He took a drink of water from his glass as he heard Wyatt's question and the various replies and comments that came along with it. Selk couldn't help but chuckle. Although most of them were from different places and lifestyles, they hadn't fought before this little excursion. He sat silently amidst the group and continued taking small drinks of his water.

Denzel and Selk were of similiar minds, this wasn't an adventure as much as a official assignment for Denzel. Fulfilling his duties were what mattered to the knight and he was thankful for their help.
Denzel glanced around the table, the mages and the adventurers he would soon be saying goodbye too, a sadness struck him when he realized that he wouldn't have what they have. But the lure of the road is not for me. Denzel told himself. My place is here, right where I am.

Wyatt caught Denzel's glance and then realized something himself, this was the end of his journey too. He came here for a reason, to train under a master smith. He'd gotten distracted out of necessity, but now...
"Well, as fun as it was. I think this might be where we split up. I mean, myself and Denzel are staying here. He's working for the crown, and I'm trying to. So I guess we should have a toast to this meeting then?" He asked, looking around the table at all gathered.

Yaen nodded. "Yes, I agree, lets have a toast." he replied, raising his glass. "But let it not be as a farewell. We never know, we might all just happen to stumble across eachother again."

Wein held up his glass. "At toast then, and if not to farewell, then to friendship. To the comrades we have made, that we may one day find each other again in good health and good spirits."

His mood improved, Denzel raised his glass and clacked it against those of his companions. "Cheers."

Aaron drank to the toast. It was true, the group had formed a bond by fighting and traveling together. The mage didn't know where he was going next, but he would look around for good lodging.
"Well, I won't be leaving all of a sudden. How many inns are around here? I'll need a place to stay for a while." Aaron said this after a pause. This was another new beginning, and Aaron was at a loss for where to go. He was trying to grow to be an advanced anima mage. Maybe the castle's library could turn over something to help him.

Aaron's word brought what Denzel was suppose to have been doing when this all started to mind. 'There are quite a few, but I had already shown Wyatt to an Inn that I recommended before this bandit situation arose. We'll go there first when we get into town, so we can travel together a little while longer.'

Selk toastedhis glass as well with a resounding, "Here, here." It seemed as though everyone, despite near death experiences, would look back on this crazy adventure together as a positive thing. They recognized the bonds made just as much as Selk did. He heard the short banter between Denzel and Aaron and was reminded of something. "I don't intend to stick around here forever. If anyone is willing to have me as a traveling companion, I'll go. Where isn't important to me."

Yaen grinned. "Well, then we have a common objective, Selk." he replied. "I don't intend to stick around much either, and don't have any real destination in mind." he noted. "And what about you, Wein?" he asked. "What are you going to do now?"

Wein looked at Yaen and Selk, pausing. He had two options: he could stay here in Laus, doing the same thing day in and day out, or he could leave. He could walk the world again, trying to make a name for himself. His dreams weren't over just yet. He still had something left in him. "After our little outing, I don't think I could stay here peacefully," he said. He gave a slight grin. "I'll go with you two, if you'll take me. I'm no stranger to wandering the world."

Malachi had been quiet for the most part; he sat in a dark corner of the inn, drinking an ale, thinking to himself. The trip that he had gone into and come back from had kicked up a lot of bad memories of his past. He listened in on the other's talking amongst each other, talking about heading there separate ways. Malachi took another sip of the ale, letting his bad memories wash down his throat. He stared into the dark brown liquid, going deep into thought.
Malachi turned around and looked towards the group with a smile."I'm willing to go pretty much anyway, I got some experience in these old bones if ya can believe it," he said to the group flexing one of his arms. He studied the men (and women), looking at them in disbelief. I can't believe how much has happened since just yesterday. I didn't even know these people, and now we're sitting at an inn, drinking like we're long time friends. Malachi's smile faded into a small smirk as he took another sip out of his mug.

"Well, my goal is to improve my skills and gain more experience in the world. I can do that on the road, but I'm hoping to get a peek at the Laus Castle Library before we go anywhere." Aaron said to the others. What could he say, he liked books. He took a bite of a roll, spread with butter, after he was finished speaking.
A man was arguing over in the corner that he didn't want soggy Crowley Fries, the drone of the inn nearly covered his voice, and Aaron and his companions spoke of their plans of the future. Where will we go, he thought. How will we choose. The entire world is open to us.

After moving into lighter conversation the group stayed up til far into the night. (Support options here)
At last one by one each of the adventurers checked in for the night. The journey ahead of them was short, but getting up at a decent time was still preferable. Wyatt was the first up the next morning. Not wanting to disturb the rest till they were ready to go, he went downstairs to bring the horses to the front and prepare them to go on to Laus.
(anyone can make Wyatt do anything he wants right, anything. at. all.)
30 minutes or so later Denzel awoke. Muffled a he looked outside and saw the sun. The young cavalier realized how late it was and the idea that it was unbecoming of a knight struck his mind. He washed him and got his gear back on as fast as he could. A few moments later a ghe found himself out of his room in front of another door. Assembling his courage he knocked on the door quietly. "Uh, Lady Lilith?"

Aaron was in his room. He had just awoke from sleep and was trying to get in a few more winks, when he heard a voice.
"Time to get up, Son."
Aaron rolled over and saw his father standing at the foot of his bed. He was carrying a Fire Tome and a lamp.
"I'll be up soon." Aaron said rolling back over. Why was his dad here?
"Get up, boy. Like your hair is on fire!"
Aaron saw his father flip through the Fire tome quickly. The next thing that happened surprised Aaron. He felt a searing, burning heat on his head. His hair WAS on fire! The Mage threw himself forward in a panic-
And promptly landed in a heap on the floor. Aaron stood, running his hands over his head. He was fine. It had all been a weird dream.
Heh, my father doesn't even know how to use magic. Aaron thought to himself.
The mage looked out the window, rubbing a bruise on his forehead that had formed when he hit the floor. He wondered how much noise he had made.
He saw Wyatt go out to the barn, and figured they would be making an early start today. Aaron started gathering his things, snapping his fingers to light the torch near his door. As he started to repack, he got distracted by his book, Heroes of Elibe, and sat down to read.
