Quiet comment to Trenton

[Dirac Sil]

"I still remember the dead man at the inn. And the arrow splitting the road. This close to Oasis, we may be under a roof with plague victims. Even if they still walk and talk to us. Perhaps we should sleep in the stable. A good place for quick exit. A good base to keep watch in the night."

Meldorac won't venture any contrary opinion unless Trenton agrees - he's not stupid enough to want to spend a night in the stable alone!

Trenton leans over and says, but not as confidently (he doesn't seem to see the need for secrecy), "I agree with you, friend scholar. But remember that I've seen the plague. All we need do is see if the denizens are home. If they have the plague, believe me... I'll know. And then we'll want to get a good bit further away than the stables."
