Gabriel Sionoma
Sheriff of Sulon
The dinner was just the sort Gabe had expected from an inn like this. Wooden bowls filled with thick stew, carrots and vegetables slow cooked but still crunchy, heavy in seasoning and an abundance of bread. He was happy with that, the cold from the rain was pushing its way into the inn and the food seemed to be staunchly opposed, providing a bone-deep warmth. He wasn't exactly prepared for any praise and brushed it off, as Cera might expect him to, for just a freak occurrence and simply being in the right place at the right time.
When Gabe heard these little whispers and saw the eyes darting back and forth, at the cost of Cera's comfort, he felt a tinge of relatedness. Knowing all too well the cost of rumors and the benefit of people discussing misfortune as if it was anything but random. Piping up, he commented on the band of villains and how they were well known through Annaj space, not just ayrou sector. And that they've been known to attack smaller villages like this throughout the outer rim because of vulnerability. And when that caught their attention, he shifted towards the polices timely response and how this act will improve their state of being in the future with increased safety.
It seemed he would work in tandem with Sitka.
Gabe stayed behind as other guests, including Cera, had moved back to their rooms. Approaching the main door to a breeze way, he looked out towards the village and blinked slowly. Turning on his holonet capable datapad, he listened quietly and kept the volume low.
"Cell is currently sitting over Ayrou sector, caught between multiple fronts. We anticipate that current rain levels will be persistent for the next few days. For those in more rural low lying areas, please stay safe and stay informed. We expect the Chief to host a press conference in the next few hours. Until then, stay safe and evacuate lower elevation portions of your townships. Avoid rivers, waterbodies, and the like."
He sucked air through his teeth as he moved the curtains from one of the windows, water ponding further into town. It was fortunate this Inn sat so high up.
Walking back to his room, he caught the tail end of the conversation between the old husband and Cera.
"What's going on?"
"Seems the roof has sprung a leak in this room. We're all full up on capacity but we have a couch, should be fine for the night."
"No, I don't think so." No hesitation as he looked at Cera, clutching her belongings and her bottle of wine. She wouldn't sleep in the common place, not with the way the other guests were talking. And with the weather, no telling who might be blamed for this. Curses.
"Well I don't know what to tell you, we're all booked up!"
"I understand. She can sleep in my room. Its too big for just me anyway." He moved just steps down the hall, opening his door and looking quietly towards Cera. The dinner hadn't been the most comfortable situation for her and he could tell that this was another bit of frustrating misfortune. Eyes lifting back to Sitka's husband, Gabe smiled. "We'll take some extra sheets, comforter, and a pillow."
He nodded and moved towards the lobby to fetch the supplies.
