Emberlyn Rowntree
At his request, Gloom is offered several drinks by the patrons and even a leg of mutton. The tables are cleared out from the center of the inn and people begin to dance to the music.
Hakka hugs a young handsome man who she feels looks uncannily like a Hopkins. He blushes slightly and pushes some of his auburn hair out of his eyes, then sheepishly asks, "Would you care to dance, miss?"
When Kuori mentions taking the items from the Arian soldiers, Emberlyn raises her eyebrows and gives her a strange look. "So you went into the forest with them this morning and came out alive?" Emberlyn would sigh and shake her head. "Well, whatever went on in there, I don't want to hear about it and I would skip town before any more of their people came snooping around to see what happened. Now let me see about getting a room ready for you. I'll have to get the goliath bed assembled. In the meantime, enjoy the party. You guys earned it." Emberlyn gets off her stool from behind the counter and moves over to some of her employees to give them orders. The Fat Fox continues to be filled with the sounds of music and the festive laughs and cheers of townsfolk.

As Revenge walks around town, he does not find any building that looks like a church. However, he does find himself strangely drawn to a grove at one edge of the town next to the sea. There, he will find an enormous willow tree hanging serenely over a crystal clear pond filled with beautiful fish. Around the edges of the pond are shrines to the good aligned gods, Pelor, Bahamut, Avandra, and Moradin, as well as the unaligned gods Corellon, Melora and Sehanine.
If Revenge steps into this sacred-feeling place, he will notice a figure swimming gracefully within the pond. She looks like a small eladrin child, but with pale blue skin and long green hair. Her fingers and toes are elongated and webbed. The creature will immediately notice Revenge's approach and will swim to the top of the pond so only the top part of her head sticks out from the water. She will curiously watch the paladin with her large, deep blue, pupilless eyes as her hair floats about her like seaweed. The only sounds to be heard are that of the ocean crashing against the shore some distance away.

The young lad would beam at Hakka. "Oh, don't worry; I'll show you how. It's easy!" Blushing a little more, the lad would take Hakka's hand and lead her to the dance floor. As they move to the music, he leads her through the steps of the dance. Being naturally graceful Hakka quickly picks up on the movements, matching her partner, obviously quite a graceful dancer himself. As they waltz across the dance floor, Hakka begins to notice some things about her partner. He has pointed ears, yet does not exhibit any other elvish features. And there's something else... Hakka cannot quite place it, but there's a quality about him that seems like something she knows well. (Roll an insight for Hakka)

As Revenge tearfully prays, he would hear a splash and the slapping sound of the creature's webbed feet as she walks over to him. A cold, clammy hand with elongated webbed fingers comes to rest on his shoulder. The creature is now at his side.
She only stands around 4 feet tall, putting her gaze roughly even with the paladin's while he kneels. She would smile sadly at him and speak to him in a high pitched, child-like voice. "There, there. Let out all your sorrow here in Willowrest so the gods may hear your anguish and bestow their blessing upon you."

Emberlyn Rowntree
((Sorry for the wait, guys; I had a busy week. Getting prepared for the holidays.))
Emberlyn would come back and take the platinum. "Thanks; I'll make sure they draw a nice bath for you, as well. Seeing you all here reminds me of my adventuring days. Heh, perhaps I retired a little too early." Emberlyn then returns to helping her staff manage the party.
As Hakka examines her dancing partner, she realizes that his handsome features have an animalistic shape to them. It dawns on her that he is probably some sort of shapeshifter like her. As the song comes to its end, the boy would bow to Hakka. "Thank ya kindly for the dance, miss." The boy suddenly starts getting nervous again. "Uh, my name is Johnathan Hopkins. Would it be all right, miss, if I asked ya yours?"

The small, aquatic, fey creature seemed perplexed by Revenge's words. One thing was clear to her, though--he was obviously depressed, so she did the best thing thing she could think of. She would attempt to give the paladin a hug, though her arms could barely reach around him. She would continue speaking.
"I sense you are in a great deal of pain. This often makes people question their way. The gods work in mysterious ways, but there is a design to their plans. And the love you lost--who says it cannot again be ignited from the ashes? You say you have changed, but perhaps so has she. The past is the past, but the future has yet to be made. New love can bloom from old--but nothing can happen if you do not try."

This boy was...curious to Hakka....curious about her as well, and clearly not ashamed to make a fool of himself. That intrigued the fox girl, but more than his behavior, she couldn't help but wonder if maybe they were alike. If so, she wondered what kind of beastie the boy might be. Hell, even if they weren't alike, she was curious to know. "H-hakka," she replied, "I only have the one name..." The fox girl paused then before just blurting out, "What are you, Johnathan Hopkins?"

Hakka blinked a few times as she heard the boy's answer, but she would not be deterred. Still, she hesitated, wondering if maybe she had gotten the wrong impression. The hesitation only lasted for a moment or two, though, and she shook her head no, grasping the boy by the ears. She took care to not hurt him but gave his ears a little tug to indicate that she was focused on them. "No, these are not real. What are you, really?" she asked, "A rancher is not a thing, it's a who...a who I'm not sure about, but a who."
