You wake up and pack your hammock and supplies for the journey ahead.

Putting on your Grimm mask that you kept from your disguise you follow Qrow as you both make your way to town.

You: And you're sure we won't need to make a quick run around Ruby's group to clear out any nearby Grimm?

Qrow: Nope, we're close enough to a town that any Grimm dumb enough to wander through here would have been taken out by their designated Hunters.

You then hear Qrows stomach grumble.

Qrow: Say, do you have any of those cookies left?

You: Sorry, but we finished those off about a week ago when we stopped by that last town.

This technically wasn't true, as you actually have one cookie left that you've been saving.

Qrow: (Sigh...) Of course we did...

You: Look at the bright side, at least the snow has melted!

After about an hour and a half of walking you come across what looks like the town that Jaune had gotten his new armor from at the beginning of volume four.

There are a few buildings around but the one that catches your eye first would be the Inn.
It's what looks to be a four story tall building made of wood and stone with no features that really stand out other than the sign out front hanging from a woodpost labeled "Inn".

You: Imma go get us a room over at that Inn so that way I can stay out of sight.
I guess it would be safe to assume that you're gonna go hunt down the nearest bar?

Qrow: Yup, need anything?

You: Maybe bring me back some food?
I don't know if this town would have any restaurants but if it does, then I could kill for a burger right about now.

Qrow: I'll keep my eye out.

You and Qrow then part ways.
You walk into the Inn and notice that the place is practically empty aside from a short blond male at the front desk.

You walk up to the front desk and address the man.

You: Excuse me, but how much is it for one nights stay?

Innkeep: One night will be 30 Lien.
You seem a bit young to be travelling alone, you didn't come all the way out here by yourself did you?

You: No, you'll meet my companion later when he gets back from the bar.
However, I'll be paying for his room too, so keep an eye out for a tall man with black hair.
He'll be easy to spot because he'll likely be drunk.

Innkeep: Well, I'm sure we'll be seeing him soon, the Boar Hat Inn is the only establishment in town that serves alcohol.

You: The Boar Hat Inn?

Meliodas: Yep! And I'm the owner, Meliodas, at your service!

You: Oh! You guys wouldn't happen to serve food as well would you?

Meliodas: Yep! Our eating area is just through that door there.

Meliodas points to a door just off to the right side of the counter.

You: Awesome! I'll take two rooms for the night and then head back there.

Meliodas: That'll be sixty lien.

You take out your wallet and pay Meliodas as he hands you both your and Qrows room keys.

Meliodas: it was a pleasure doing business with You!

You give him a polite nod before heading through the door to the restaurant area and sitting down at the nearest table to wait for a waiter.

You don't have to wait long before a silver haired girl wearing a rather tight shirt and short skirt comes up to your table holding a pencil and notepad.
