Vivian adjusts her cloak, to bring it tighter around her shoulders before looking up at her traveling companion Xio. "Yes. I did leave to experience more of the world, but I would prefer to experience it with a clear mind and minimal risk of being discovered. If that means keeping my hood up and avoiding excessive amounts of alcohol if I can, then so be it." She glances around the room furtively. "You genuinely expect to find an interesting quest here?" She pauses, pulling down her hood and staring incredulously at him. "In an ordinary inn. While highly intoxicated." With her hood down her thick purple curls, for once not tied back in a braid, fall over her shoulders. She rolls her bright blue eyes at him. "It hardly seems plausible." While her tone is slightly derisive, the smile she gives him after shows at least a little bit of playful affection.
