Sprawled out on the bed in an unladylike fashion, Iona's eyes snapped open as the sweet voice of a violin soared through the air, accompanied by drums and a trumpet. Music. How long had it been since she was depraved of it, since she played it? It seemed like ages. She sat up instantly.
Aetis jumped in sheer joy in the knowledge he was going to be fed, then he hissed at her for sleeping so late. Iona held up a hand at him, cutting him off mid-hiss, as she caught onto the song. She began to hum along with the chorus, her pure alto a bit rusty from disuse but the undermining tone there. She was skilled at a number of instruments, as her mentor was an adept musician. Iona could play a violin and a flute, but she was best with her voice. Not that nobody besides her mentor, who only went by Seiji, knew about those talents. The aging woman was her only friend she had back at the fortress.
Now singing along with the song, she shoved her jewelry back on, making sure she had all of it. Aetis stared at her curiously, coming to realize that this was first time he had seen her look so happy since they met in the desert. Iona worked quickly in packing her things and dragged Aetis out of the door with her as she followed the wonderful sound of music, not realizing she was still singing.

A couple of the bar patrons in the Inn looked up as Iona was singing.
Azrael was wrestling with the plant as it had snatched Azrael's pendant that he kept around his neck.

Iona stopped at the foot of the stairs, still singing her eyes closed. At first, everbody was confused by her singing but they came to appreciate the sound of her voice as she softly sang. A majority of the bar patrons were male, and stared at her for her voice and found her to be beautiful. Aetis hissed at them and they flinched, still listening but staring into their mugs.
The song ended and they stared at her with admiration. Iona shoots them a frosty glare. "What the hell you looking at?"she snarls at them. Thier heads instantly whipped around another direction. She came over to the bar, near a fat bearded man who cringed at her presence.
"You! Potion Shop! Where is it?"she demands, grabbing him by his collar and pulling out her blade. Aetis snapped his fangs at the man. He stutters out his reply. She threw him back onto the bar stool and he toppled over. She did this because she had a horrible sense of direction, and had no idea how to get back to the shop on her own. Snatching up his untouched beer mug, she exited the the silent inn and slammed the door shut with static electricity. Outside, she chugged down the beer and threw it casually at the obese chickens glaring at Aetis. "Go eat," she orders and he threw himself off her and onto a chicken, biting into his sqwauking prey. Iona belched and made her way to the shop.

Torak's head snapped toward the direction of the Inn as he heard Iona slam it shut. "Looks like Sleeping Beauty is awake." He dryly said. Azrael bopped the plant on the head and it released his pendant, which he put back around his neck.
"She...doesn't seem to know where she's going..."

Iona walked passed the potion shop, even though the door was open and there was a large distracting plant and her comrades stood in plain sight. Several villager were watching the woman, almost blinding them with her sparkling jewelry. Where was the potion shop?! All the shops and houses looked the same. Frustrated and very confused, she plopped down cross legged on the ground and waited until Aetis came back. After a few moments, she fell on her side, asleep.
A chicken wandered over to her and pecked at the tear drop emerald on her forehead, the largest on her circlet. The hen stared at the flame like garnet and plopped down on it's behind, keeping a sort of vigil over her, clucking to itself.

Azrael sort of facepalmed as he watched Iona walk right past them. He watched as the hen walked over to her sleeping body and sat on her.

"All she seems to do is sleep." Balde muttered to himself. He went over to her, and threw some bread on the ground for the hen. "Hey, wake up." He said tersely as he nudged Iona with his foot.

Eldrin waited for the opportune moment. Watching the plant carefully, he waited for it to become distracted with Iona. Then he pounced on it, yanking at the stem with all his might. The plant snapped its jaws shut on his arm, tearing into the flesh with its fangs. Eldrin did not give up, he ignored the pain and continued trying to uproot his opponent.
(Winning!)

Iona stirred and sat up, blinking blearily. "Shut up, I didn't take the damn goat,"she grumbled, trying to stand up, but only fell back on her bottom. She gets up and stands up, disrupting the chicken and the hen flew off with an angry sqwuack. She seemed to realize that Blade was there for the first time."What do you want?"she asked and yawned hugely. Where was she going? She scratched her head in sleepy confusion. Aetis languidly slid on over, looking almost comically content as he was bloated with food.

"To not have to wake you up with a bucket of cold water. Looks like I got my wish." Blade joked.

"Iona, get over here. We're not here to sleep all day."Azrael called over to her. He watched as Eldrin was wrestleing with the plant, he laughed a bit.

Rubbing her eye and dragging a napping Aetis by his tail, she stumbled her way to the shop. She saw Eldrin and the plant fighting, a stunned shopkeeper, Azrael and what was that other one called? The one that apparently doesn't like her? She couldn't come up with his name. She yawned and drowsily stood aside, away from the plant, struggling to keep her eyes open. Aetis laid coiled at her feet like a pet would. Iona yawned yet again. "Is there any coffee?" she asks, her voice high and thick with sleep. She just wasn't a morning person.

"There is none." Azrael responded to her. He continued to watch Eldrin wrestleing with the plant. He had finished his bit of bread a while ago and was finding amusement in watching the thief wrestle with the plant.

After an epic battle, Eldrin finally managed to rip the plant out of the ground, roots and all. The plant did not stop its assault on the thief's arm, forcing him to pry the plant's jaws apart and remove his arm. Finally he shoved the plant into his loot bag and closed it quickly. He quickly ran inside the store, stole a red healing potion, and healed his arm. Grinning contentedly, he returned and sat next to Azrael again.
