Lily blinked slowly as she registered what Mint had just said. "Um… Mint this is sort of important. Like… really important,"
"Ah… sorry Lily I wasn't… I wasn't expecting anyone to show up so late at night and I was cleaning the inn… and then there's the fact that Thyme didn't have too long to explain so I was mostly coached on what to do if some busy body came up. I don't think they mentioned contestants… like at all," explained Mint awkwardly.
"Wait… so Thyme is caught up in something?" asked Lily.
"Aaah?" Mint intoned.
"Oh… right I bet you weren't meant to give that away…" mumbled Lily.
"Well I wasn't exactly trained for this," whined Mint. "I was taught basic customer service for rich merchants and low level nobles! The higher end ones were all meant to go to other inns run mostly by Thyme's aspects with assistance from other dryads. Plus, I… ah bugger it. I only recently got the news so it's not like I'm properly prepared for this!"
