Returning...

 Katri walked back up the road into Jastrey after her four day absence, just as twilight settled over the shard. Her mask and hood were down for a change and the girl was pale with bags lining her red-rimed eyes. It was obvious she had not slept in several days and it seemed as though she had not eaten either during her long hiatus from town. Her movements were slow and weak as she walked, though her back and head were held straight. Her eyes seemed empty and stared into nothing.

 Katri drug her weary body towards where the tavern's remains were to find a building had been rebuilt in it's place. Little shock registered in her numb mind to find the building, or even who she saw standing outside of it as she approached.
