For Noelle, who lived two floors above Anais, it wasn't a very long walk to the paladin's apartment. She took the fire exit, as she always did, and appeared in the hallway.

"Lera," was her greeting upon seeing the redhead, hand on the sling of her crossbow. It was a recent purchase made in Bastantown, now that there was more of Bastan to offer choice which, admittedly, wasn't much. The crossbow was a lot smaller than her regular long bow, preferable if she was going to be surrounded by a large number of bodies.

She glanced at Anais' door, then back to Lera. Anais was definitely inside; she could hear activity in there. So...

"Is something the matter?"
