"A Deadly Weapon" (Ryube) She yawned lazily as she woke up in a resonably comfortable bed, in Ryube Village's inn. She had no memory of the incident, all she could recall were faint voices screaming and hollering at her, urging her to go on. She blinked sleepily several times and groaned, clutching her head. She had a hangover. Rina stayed up all night yesterday drinking in an inn, entertaining some men. She must've pushed herself to the limit and passed out. She knew shouldn't have done that, but she needed the money to travel to the next town. It just wasn't possible to pull off the travelling circus act to make money, because without her siblings, there is no act. She might as well assert her other talents to make do. Hands sheilding her eyes from the bright early morning sunrise, she grudgingly forced herself to stand up, get fixed up and continue down the road. She yawned again as she walked towards the front desk, stopping in front of the innkeeper. "Good morning, young lady," the man at the front desk greeted. "You looking a little bit in pain there." Rina rubbed her eyes. "I'll recover just fine, thank you." The innkeeper smiled plaintively, looking down at a log book. "You'll be leaving now? That will be 70 potch for one night, please." Rina's eyes suddenly widened. After all the confusion last night, she forgot to get paid. She started to swear under her breath. Okay Rina, breathe. She seemed to collect herself instantly and smiled dazzingly at the innkeeper. "I'm afraid i left my money in my other pouch. You wouldn't mind just...giving me this one night, would you?" She toyed expertly with the front of her blouse, calling attention to her... rather enhanced regions. The innkeeper turned a little red at her actions and cleared his throat, "Ah...okay miss..." Rina seized her advantage and continued, "And how bout some breakfast? You wouldn't want this girl to starve, would you, handsome?" She smiled her famous, killer smile. The innkeeper was gone, and desperately tried to regain his composure. "Ah, yes, sure...right away... just tell the cook it's on me." Rina smiled fondly and touched his cheek lightly, whispering in his ear, "Thank you, i won't forget this, honey." Then she turned towards the kitchen, swishing her hips as she walked.
