Stay Still

Rafael stopped a few blocks before the local inn, his eyes narrowing as he watched the patrons enter and exit. The building doubled as both a pub for casual dining downstairs and an inn with rooms upstairs. As such, there were more people than those who were looking for shelter to rest their heads for the night.

That wasn't good. The more people there were, the harder it would be for Rafael to spot his brothers. The looking glass that Soleia had designed was too small to scan large crowds.

In the end, Rafael decided to wait. It was safer to scout the entries for Elinora's presence than to search every room for her with the risk of getting spotted by his brothers. However, if she truly did meet up with them, then Rafael had no doubt that she had already informed them of his presence here in Vramid.
