The Inn

It took a while, but eventually I finally stopped to rest. There was a small town up ahead, though I wasn't sure what it was called. There was an inn that I would stay in for the next couple days, but then I promised myself I'd leave again.
  Once I got to the inn, named Vardiya Inn (shifter in turkish) I knew there was something weird about it. There were smells here I never smelt before, not that of a human, but of animals.         Something told me they weren't regular animals though. As I neared the desk the man behind it looked at me strange.
  I smiled politely, "may I have a room?" He stared for another minute or so before answering. "You can, for 15 dollars." I was shocked. That was the cheapest room I'd ever rented! I handed over the money and he grinned, sharp teeth poking out the side of his mouth. "Welcome to the one and only were-inn!" If I was shocked before I was definitely shocked now. He knew what I was? "You can remove your beanie now, sweetie, I know what you are." I slowly and carefully removed the beanie and his grin got wider before he pulled off his own hat, ears of his own appearing. "Here's your key. Second floor, third room." I smiled and said a quick thanks, running upstairs and straight for my room.
  Unfortunately maybe I shouldn't been looking where I was going as I ran into a wall. I yelped as I fell backwards onto my bum, my tail uncurling from around my waist to stretch off the pain. I looked up, only to see two bright, golden eyes looking at me worriedly. "I'm so sorry, miss. I shouldn't been looking where I was going and-" I cut him off, feeling stupid for thinking he was a wall. "No no, it's my fault. I guess I was so exited to get to my room I wasn't looking." He smiled, holding out a hand.   "Truce?" I laughed. "Truce." I went to shake his hand. "My name is Josh, what's yours?" I grinned. "Ayala. Nice to meet you."

I know it's short I'm sorry I have no excuse I'm just dumb
