Archer keep flirting until the lady left. He had a smirk on his face before coming by. Archer began collecting the empty shot glasses. "Huh, she didn't drink much but was hella tipsy. Want another glass of wine?" He asked. Archer didn't question where she was.

"No, but thank you, it was very good," Jude said politely. "She did mention something about asking you to give me something, though. I do not know what she meant by it. Do you?"

Archer stopped and frowned, then his eyes widened. "Oh! Yeah, I'll get you that. Hold on." He said as he quickly left. It wasn't long before he came back with a box that was wrapped nicely. It had three small yellow marigolds tied with it. Archer handed it to Jude. "She said if it wasn't to your liking or it needed an improvement, just give it back to her. Red also said that she hoped it was better than what you have." He frowned as he thought before continuing. "There is also camouflage magic with it, so it can blend in. Oh, and it's metal, but the lighter one alongside cushioning."

Axa came back with her son. Roisin wasn't with them or insight. Her expression was worried and slightly scared. Her son had a toy in his hand, playing with it. She made her way towards the front, keeping him close.

What did any of that mean? Jude stared at the long package in genuine confusion and befuddlement. He tried thinking of what it might possibly and got nowhere with that before deciding that perhaps it was best to take it home and open it up. He stood and lifted the package with care before seeing Axa walking toward the front. He paused, watching her, curious. Roisin was not with her. That was interesting. Well, it wasn't like he could go prying into strangers' businesses, so he turned, despite his concern and curiosity, and made his way toward the door of the tavern.

"Excuse me, Roisin said she already paid for a room and room service?" Axa spoke softly once she was in front of Archer. Archer nodded before waving goodbye to Jude. "That would explain the two pouches of gold. Follow me, ma'am." He hummed as he led the way. She followed him as did her son, but he looked over to Jude and giggled. It was unclear why he giggled or what made him giggle.

When Jude went outside the tavern, Roisin wasn't out there either. There was no trace of where she could have gone or if she was still nearby.

Jude looked down at the child, amused, but didn't think much of it. He went out and looked around, trying to find Roisin, but she was nowhere in sight. He turned and walked toward home, keeping an eye out for her as she went just in case she popped up randomly. She was nowhere in sight. So, he went home.

Once home at the small place he'd been staying at while working, he sat down on the bed and placed the package down next to him. First, he took off the flower crown and set it on the tiny side table next to the bed. Carefully, he opened the package.
