The inn keeper granted his wish but not without a judgement prior. Erim didn't mean to have these moments they just came to her, and she was forced to witness the replay. Why was it that she entered this place and her mind instantly kicked off. Why did she witness a city like this booming with life cast in flames. "... Make it stop" she pleaded but they were fortunate to have been in the room at this point and Brutus had placed her on the bed. The bedroom was a single bed and it wasn't the first time that Erim and Brutus had accomadated it this way, besides it was afterall the cheaper method. When Erim finally opened her eyes and removed her hands from her face, her eyes were now streaming with tears. Questions remained unanswered. She clung to Brutus in a firm embrace her face buried into his chest as the poor girls body trembled. "I was here when Redwood Was up in flames...i know it, I saw it"

"How can you be so sure about that?" Brutus asked as he rubbed her back gently as he gazed out the window. She didn't look a day over 25. "Are you aware... this city burned down centuries ago?" He asked and rest his chin on the top of her head. "Maybe you're able to channel in to past events, gather information in places where chaos happened. This is nearly a birthplace of chaos." He continued to explain. "How about I make you some tea to calm those nerves?"

Centuries, but it felt so recent. Her hands were shaking, he probably was right this was probably another one of her many talents...in fact century...this meant she was able to tune to traumatic events that happened in this locations. She looked up her eyes swollen ad red. She nodded in agreement, she would take that tea if it mean that she was going to stop seeing these horrors.

Brutus brushed hair out of her face and cupped her chin. "Let's get you settled in bed to relax a bit." He suggested and moved off the bed and pulled the blankets back. Carefully, he picked her up as though she were a fragile child, and laid her back. He covered her back up and brushed hair out of her face once more. With a soft sigh, he went over to the small fireplace in their room, grabbed the kettle and left the room.
Minutes later, he came back with a small bag of dried tea leaves and flowers, and the kettle full of water, as well as a couple mugs and honey. Quickly, he put the kettle over the fire, set the mugs on the table, and sat beside her once again. "perhaps it would be best if we left the city if you are unable to move around."

She shook her head in response she wasn't ready to leave she begged him to take her here and it was time she dealt with its consequences. "I wanted this" she began, her voice broken, he couldn't hold back for her any longer. He needed to have a sense of freedom without her holding him back, no wolf truly enjoys being closed in. She smiled at her "I'll be fine, enough of your fretting over me" she forced a laugh, "I'm not a child Brutus, I need hard love, not hands that could care for the elderly, sick or even a child...I need to enjoy my life too" There was something about Redwood that chewed the back of her mind, she wanted to discover more about this place without the fear that what she saw was real. For all she knew it was the past, "besides...I'm actually really hungry"

"Hardly. You're much, much younger than I am. You will always be a child in my eyes." Brutus teased and gave her a gentle smile. "I am merely a guardian for you. It is my duty to take care of you. If it is love you are looking for... it won't be from me..." He stated softly, a hint of sadness in his voice; although he hoped she wouldn't take notice. "Then we'll get some food after this tea, alright?" He added and smiled while he moved back to the kettle. He mixed the leaves and flowers together, pours in the water and took a mug to her. "Honey?"

He was right she shouldn't depend on him for love. They were only two friends on a journey to discover her memories. She was sadden at the thought that it may have been a possibility. She was foolish to think so. She snickered to herself silently when his back was turn to her. 'Honey?' He broke pass her thoughts 'huh?...oh no bitter is fine, I like mine taste closes to nature without it being damaged by natural sweetners" she laughed.

"I'll keep that in mind then." Brutus chuckled and added a little bit of honey to his tea. "What is it that you are craving for dinner, Erim?" He asked as he settled down in a chair across from the bed. He held the tea up to his nose and he took a deep breath in. The fragrance filled his nose and he relaxed a little bit. He closed his eyes. "I think I'm going to see if they have a nice roast with vegetables... with a lot of juice." He groaned and licked his lips. "And maybe a nice mug of ale."

"Ale..." She added in unison with him. She couldn't remember the last time the savory taste of ale entered her lips but she knew that she wanted to let loose. Alcohol made everything more fun she found. She kicked her feet contemplating on the meal choice she had planned to devour after a silent pause with the two of them breathing and sipping tea Erin finally spoke "a soup and bread to be honest I'd love something warm"

"Then I will be back, after I place the order. I'm sure they will be able to bring it up to the room." Brutus stated after he downed the mug of hot tea. He set it back on the table, and slipped out of the room.
After a few minutes, the man came back with two mugs of ale and a smile on his face. "They'll bring it up short, with two more mugs of ale. The innkeeper was actually asking about you, making sure you were ok. I was quick to judge them. They'll be bringing some venison soup with hearty vegetables, and my roast." He explained and sat on the edge of the bed. He carefully handed her the mug, "Don't spill it. I'm sure they wouldn't be happy to have to clean up sure fine ale"

Her face expressed excitement. She was eagerly nursing it. The one this Erim enjoyed aside from Brutus's company was the chance to drink fine ale. She looked at him and nodded her head in thanks. "I sure do miss my ale" she stated taking a heavy swig of the mug in front of her. "Sweet baby...this is good" she felt her knees shake with satisfaction a Rosie pigmentation over her cheeks.

Brutus chuckled and took a long drink of his ale and sat back. "Ready to move to the table and wait for dinner? I should have them bring extra ale..." He muttered and stood up. "Come on, let's sit at the table." He said as he pat her leg lightly with a smile. He moved over to the table and sat down with a long sigh. "This is nice... Maybe we can figure things out, and stay here for a few extra days to just relax." He brought up and smiled a little at her over the top of the mug.

She obliged she sat across from Brutus the table was a fairly decent size, big enough for a couple to dine together. She looked at him her ale still proudly in her hand, she took another swig. She knew she didn't ask for much food wise, but Erim was never one with the biggest appetite, Brutus on the other hand she's seen him devour a whole boar on his own. She snickered her eyes meeting his, "will you even be full I highly doubt the roast is even that big" she mocked the situation, but really she knew he did it because she asked him. He always did what she asked of him, in a way she was flattered, and he never judged her for the decisions she's made.

Brutus looked at Erim as she teased him. For a long moment, he simply looked at her. She had a point, he wouldn't even be full. He had a rather large appetite, and it was never calmed due to him being a werewolf. He gave a heavy sigh and leaned his head back. "You... are very right, my Erim... I won't be full, but I don't want to eat the inn out, either. That would give it away." He explained, and perked up as a few soft raps on the door greeted them. He set the ale down, gracefully moved to the door and pulled it open. "it smells wonderful." Brutus said as his mouth began to water. It was often hard to believe at times that he was a werewolf, with how smooth and fluid his movements were. He allowed the maiden in to set the food down, and as she left, he called for more ale. "A pitcher if you could!" He added as he walked over and sat back from Erim. He took a few bites of the potatoes around the roast and looked back at Erim. "Is it to your liking?"

She gently dabbled a piece of bread that was given to her with the soup. She felt his eyes wander over her occasionally, she was eating like a mouse in comparison she took another bite and felt like he was judging her. She however; remained silent. "It's really good" she finally replied mouth full and a hand with her but readying herself for another swig of ale. She occasionally exchanged glances, smirking as she did so. In her mind the way they were was like a date, here they were together, him treating her like a princess by making her tea, getting them meals...her cheeks were read. This thought was most likely induced by the alcohol she was consuming. She needed to start easing him.
