Maelorna sighs, '*Well that could have gone better*' she admonishes
herself, '*It's not like I have a choice in the matter*.' as she moves
quickly to follow after the group.  The admonishment from Kiet she had
responded to and shrugged mentally, however, Arawn's proclamation about the
price, she has to fight to keep giving the first thought that comes to mind
and coughs to cover the snort of derision.   '*In that regards you've
already paid ahead haven't you little one?*' the voice purrs, '*But don't
worry, I'm sure the family reunion will be quite the occasion won't it?'*
it taunts with laughter.

Looking about at the village she wonders how it compares to her home in the
wasteland or if her home still even exists.  She can feel the eyes upon her
and as much as she likes being the center of attention, this isn't a tavern
nor are there possible marks to prey upon thus she tries to hide within her
cloak.

After a few moments of the conversation, she gives up trying to follow it,
as the language sounds less than pleasant.  Maelorna turns her attention to
the people of the town and realizes she isn't in a city with the jaded or
the hungry.  But on the plus side, no possibility of a guild she need worry
about taking umbrage to her predations.  As the camp is being set up, she
helps as best she can, however, other than manual labour she has little
experience with setting up a camp.  Once it has been set up, she's more
than happy to dig through the contents of her pack and pull out her
grooming kit and looks about for the midden or even a standing pool of
water.

Once satisfied with being as clean as she can manage without a bath,
Maelorna pulls out a simple gown and realizes that even this might cause an
issue as once she slips it on, it's obvious that the fit of the velvet gown
was designed to tease those looking at her.  Once again her winter cloak
comes to the rescue as she pulls it about and laces it up.

The meal she enjoys but watches those about her more than partakes of the
food, with a well-practiced eye she marks those who might be considered
prey or predator and finds less of the former.
