After settling things on the adventurers guild, we immediately move to find an inn we can rent at least 1 night. We're heading to a less crowded path, hindi katulad ng sa main street ay bahagyang tahimik at hindi gaano karami ang tao rito.
I gestured my hand to stopped as I halted on my walk, agad naman silang mga nagsisunudan sa'kin.
Cabin of the Greene. Hindi ako nagdalawang isip buksan ang mahogany nitong pinto, tumunog pa ang wind-chimes na nakasukbit sa itaas na bahagi, nagbibigay hudyat ng pagpasok namin.
The interior was decent and neat, nothing extravagant just like what I wanted.
“What are we doing here?” Oceana asked in her low voice, liningon ko ito at tinaasan ng kilay.
“You don't expect us to stay in a luxurious hotel or VIP rooms, don't you?” Napatahimik naman ito ng sumagot ako, hindi kona sila pinansin at pumunta sa counter para mag-renta ng mga kwarto.
“Don't mind her, she just want princess treatment,” Pang-aasar ni Elijah kay Oceana saka ginulo ang buhok nito. Naiinis naman na tinampal ng isa ang kamay niya at lumayo ng ilang hakbang.
“Stay away from me,” She said with full of conviction and disgust. Nalukot naman ang mukha ni Elijah at tumaas ang dulo ng labi. Bubuka pa lamang ang bibig niya ng umeksena si Dawn sa pagitan nila.
“Gago bro, pinandidirian ka ni Ceah,” I mentally rolled my eyes and just let them do whatever the fuck they want. At this point, I don't plan nor intend to meddle with their childlike fights, ayokong ma-stress sa mga katarantaduhan ng mga 'yan.
“Hello, what a pleasure afternoon dear customer!” The man greeted me with a lively voice, he's wearing a plain white shirt underneath a cream-colored vest. His white long hair was tied in a man bun, base sa sukat ko ay nasa edad na singkwenta na ito. He has a silver template on his right chest with his name engraved on it.
Nicholas.
I stopped from observing his physical appearance and proceeded with the plan, “Do you still have spare rooms for the 6 of us?” I politely asked, I even changed the tone of my voice to a softer one so it could match my appearance.
“Let me just check it, one moment please,” He started scanning the long list in his hands. I withdrew my gaze away from him and it landed on a bunch of exotic plants casually displayed on the corner of the walls.
Some of those are really dangerous and poisonous. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa lalaki sa counter, is he perhaps didn't know that those plants could kill a person in just a millisecond once you make physical contact with it? Or did he get fooled by its pretty appearance?
“I'm so sorry, dear customer, but we only have three available rooms that we can offer. The others have been occupied already.”
I nod in response, “We'll take those three for 1 night, how much is it?”
He gave me a delighted expression before proceeding on tallying the amount. Mabilis naman siyang natapos at inabot sa'kin ang dalawang susi, I gave him the exact amount and tossed some tips for him. Sinenyasan ko ang lima na tumungo at sumunod na sa'kin ngunit bago tuluyang umalis ay tumigil ako saka hinarap muli ang lalaki sa counter.
