Location: Log Inn, Random Village
Xerlynn sighed as she realized this would be much more than a quick pitstop. She twirled her umbrella, which was blocking the rain from hitting her, thinking about what she could use the extra time. Perhaps Xerlynn could get her car tuned up since it had been a while since the last tuning. She couldn’t remember if she rolled the roof up. Xerlynn continued her lengthy train of thought until the girl behind her uttered for help and collapsed. Xerlynn’s head turned to look at the collapsed girl, sighing. She had sensed that they were behind her, but she was too lost in thought to take action. Now, the girl’s collapsed. Xerlynn turned and crouched down the girl, holding her umbrella above their core. “Jeez, I was planning on acting all cool, having an umbrella in this weather. Lesson learned, don’t daydream when someone needs help,” Xerlynn shook her head, picking up the girl and draping them over her shoulder with extreme ease. “Damn, light as a feather. I wonder if she’s been eating alright.”
Xerlynn made her way into the town. Her umbrella prevented them from getting any wetter from the clattering rain. She could tell this would be a long one. After asking some locals, she eventually found the inn. It was a medium-large log cabin with a small parking lot. Xerlynn just hoped they had rooms open. She pushed open the wooden door and walked inside. Xerlynn wiped her feet and flicked her umbrella, water scattering to the rug. The umbrella then folded itself back, and she attached it to her side, like sheathing a sword. They hurriedly approached the front desk, where the reception shot up, with a worried look on their face. Without saying anything, Xerlynn threw enough currency on the desk for a week’s stay and held her hand out, waiting for the room key. The receptionist tried to question her, but she just glared at him before he gave in and gave her the key. She then carried the girl to the room. Xerlynn knew the girl needed to be warmed up, but she didn’t want to invade a young person’s privacy. She set her on a bed and threw several towels on her. “Good enough. Now, I need to get my car to a tuner, get some clothes, and a space heater,” Xerlynn checked off what she needed aloud. “If you’re gone when I come back, I’ll be ticked.”
Xerlynn left the inn, making sure the room was securely locked. She quickly bought a few clothes for the girl and went to get her car. Xerlynn let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw that the hood was up. “Yikes, I forgot I need to refill my food,” Xerlynn growled, “Stupid wild Telecoons. I can’t believe some people like keeping those things as pets.” Xerlynn then drove the car to a tuning shop, which was on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately, she only remembered the need for a space heater after turning the car to the tuner. And the keys after threatening them not to damage it. So, she had to carry a space heater and clothes back to the room. Once she arrived, she plugged in the heater, putting it as close to the girl as possible. Xerlynn then went and rested on the couch, grumbling about her luck along with her grumbling stomach.
