Shakti was still sitting by the counter waiting for the man to return. Drinking alone felt... pathetic... And so far he was the only one she had talked to. But it seemed as if he was lingering.

She sighed and reached for the jug, filling up her flagon. Looks like this one won't make any friends in this place either...

Sari entered the inn taking notice of Shakti sitting alone. "What are you doing here, sis?"

"Oh, this one just had a small conversation with this man..." She snapped with her fingers. "What's his name... ehrm... Garben? Gabriel!"

Sari looked over her shoulder with a slight anxiety. "You did, huh? And what did he say?"

Shakti cocked her head and looked at Sari. She could tell that something was amiss. "You... know him?"

"What? No, of course not. We only just arrived, remember?"

"Yes, but this one got the impression that Gabriel has been here for awhile, and wouldn't that mean that we were here long enough before Shakti's amnesia that he would have gotten to know either you or this one?"

Sari said nothing. "You should drink your ale while it's cold", she said.

Shakti complied. "He seemed nice though. And it's kind of strange..." She furrowed her eyebrows. "It's like... this one can still picture him before her, even though she just met him. It's... it's just weird."

Sari tried immediately to make up the most reasonable excuses she could think of, which wasn't all too easy. Her may have suffered from amnesia, but Shakti would always remain more intelligent and observant than herself. Not much went unnoticed.

"How could you not?" she shrugged in an attempt to easen the mood. "His face is pretty scorched. Hard not to put on your memory, no?"

"This one... guess so?"

"Damn right, now drink your ale already."

"But this one was waiting for Gabriel..."

"Tell you what", chirped Sari and sat down next to Shakti. "This one will drink with you instead."

"Sympathy drinking?" murmured Shakti surly. "Now this one feels a whole lot better..."
