She'd made her way slowly, taking the time to note the scenery along the path. The Tower lay ahead, but seemed to be....unaccessible somehow. There was a small tavern located next to the giant structure, and she stood at the edge of the clearing, gazing at both buildings. The majestic Tower looked closed off, as if something were blocking entrance. She sighed, bright sapphire eyes still tired from her walking. She started off towards the tavern, wondering if she might just run into Thomas inside. Her mind began wondering all over again just what had happened to him, and where he'd been all this time. She was intent on finding out.
She finally reached the tavern doors, took a breath, and stepped inside. Those striking eyes took in the room, as she headed towards the bar for a good, warm cider to deaden the chill that had settled in. She scanned the crowd for that familiar face, wondering if the little mouse was along for the ride.
