Nyssa couldn't hold in a small chuckle at the girl's enthusiasm. It was good to see that she didn't seem lazy once it came time to actually get to work, unlike some other hired help she'd had in the past. There was one younger fellow in particular she would always remember, back before Jarrah and ...

Nyssa didn't find the girl's answer odd in the least and bought her excuse completely, assuming Jordyn's slight paleness a likely result of her nerves as well. So she said nothing more on the matter as she nudged the door closed.

She nodded in answer to Jordyn's question about where to put her pack ...

Upon hearing the first knock, Nyssa tossed what few things she had dug out of the cupboards back where they were and headed for the main room as quickly as her bad knees would allow her. She was just reaching for the door when she heard the second knock and the younger woman's call, and she couldn't ...

Giving a quick wave to Jordyn as she left, Jarrah glanced around at the steady stream of people who were filling the inn as he tried to decide what to do. As of now he didn't have much taking up his time today, other than checking in with a couple of people he'd seen the previous afternoon. But he ...

Her answer only served to confuse him a bit more on whatever may have happened the previous night. After all, he was still trying to wrap his mind around this feeling thing she'd mentioned and make some sense of it. Jordyn didn't strike him as one to tell outlandish stories of that sort, so he was ...

“Then I won’t hold you up for very long,” he said, his smile brightening. Now that he had a closer look, her wariness seemed much more pronounced and he could see she was rather pale compared to the last time he saw her. Whatever happened last night, feeling or otherwise, had really taken a lot out ...

After some time, Jarrah was beginning to wonder if maybe he shouldn't make a run over to Nyssa's place. Just because the manager and others hadn't seen Jordyn leave the inn didn't mean she hadn't. Even though he'd made it a point to get here early enough to reduce the chances of missing her, he ...

Early the next morning, Jarrah made his way down the road from his place to the inn, just as he said he would. There hadn't been any late-night visits from any of the busboys, so that had to be a good sign. Even so, the twinge of uneasiness wouldn't go away, he knew, until he was certain that Jordyn ...

Jarrah grumbled a bit to himself as Jordyn tried yet again to convince him that nothing was wrong. He was a medic, for crying out loud - who did she think she was kidding? Surely she had to realize her false reassurances did little good.

But...he'd humor her, this one time, and back off for now ...

She "feels" things, huh? That's...different.

If it hadn't been so obvious that this feeling of whatever was effecting her very negatively, Jarrah might have tried to ignore it and gone his own way after Jordyn had made it inside. Taking a quick look around he still couldn't see, let alone sense ...

After arriving at the inn, Jarrah noticed the way Jordyn was glancing around apprehensively but didn't read too much into it at first. She was new to Shim - a girl her age alone in a strange place had reason enough to feel uncomfortable to a degree. And the onset of night could could make an ...

Jarrah gave a little bit of a shrug of his own at her question, smile still in place. "I'll admit my interest isn't a strong one. Not that I have anything against it, mind you." He had learned early on that medicine could be very consuming work, and on the busier days it didn't allow for much free ...

Following Jordyn out of the house, and pausing in the doorway long enough to holler to Nyssa that he was leaving, Jarrah wandered out to the street. He happened to notice the way that Jordyn was looking up at the colors in the sky and could take a guess at what might have been going through her mind ...

Listening to Jordyn trying to get her words out, Jarrah couldn't hold back a little bit of a smile. In a certain sense, this kid was almost beginning to remind him of a certain someone - someone who, a number of years ago, found himself in just as uncertain a situation as she was in now.

And it ...

Jarrah glanced up as he heard someone coming into the room and flashed his usual smile when he saw that it was Jordyn. From the looks of it, things had gone relatively well between her and Nyssa. No surprise there. A certain part of him, he supposed, had almost been sure from the start that the ...
