Lorelei had just arrived into Urini as the church bell tolled. She had been hunting most of the night and brought her spoils along with her too sell. Loping along her side was Sabriel, her wolf companion. Before, people shrank in fear of the beast, but Lorelei and Sabriel had been visiting and selling their wares here for over a month and people were at ease now. Children ran to pet Sabriel's silky coat and gave Lorelei a happy wave. Lorelei smiled and wave and continued to the square.

She passed The Hobbit and the Hearth and saw that the patrons inside were having breakfast. Her stomach gave a loud rumble and she recalled that she hadn't eaten at all that night. She looked at Sabriel and he gave her a wide eyed look of hunger. She heaved a sigh and stepped into the tavern.

"Hullo," she said giving the Lady of tavern a wave.

"Oh hello Lorelei, and hello Sabriel." the Lady said giving the wolf a scratch behind the ears. "You two must be hungry."

"Why yes, but I haven't been to market yet. Would you trade for a meal. How about a pheasant?" Lorelei said holding the dead bird by it's feet.

"I think that'll be a fair trade. You'll want an omelette with fried potatoes and bread and for Sabriel a nice meaty pig leg, yes?" The Lady said politely.

"You're right as always, Sybil" Lorelei said cheerily.

Lorelei sat her game bag in another chair and propped her feet upon the table. It felt so good to finally just sit. She caught the eye of another patron eating his breakfast and gave him a cheery smile. He seemed a bit intimidating and was obviously a newcomer.
