    "Ugh..." she groaned, as she slowly came to. Her head was throbbing, and it was painful to blink. What happened? she wondered. She'd just left the inn, then there was some shouting, a brawl, and then next thing she knew she was being dragged unceremoniously through the street, headed towards...

    She shot him a confused look, not sure what to make of his compliment. Well, at least he's direct ...? she mused. She turned to face him directly, considering his offer.
