"What's the problem now?" the woman snapped.

"Sorry...I just wanted you to direct me to the nearest hotel or inn," Shikera requested.

A loud laugh broke out, echoing as it was the dead of the night.

"You really are stupid. I told you we seldom have visitors and you still expect an inn or what? An hotel?!" she asked.

"Oh!" Shikera exclaimed, realization dawning on her.

"Oh," the woman replied. "I hope you let me go now. I have been out for the whole day and I need some good quality sleep."

Shikera nodded. "Thank you then. Goodnight," she whispered.

"Goodnight to you too," came the cold reply.

Shikera watched her go and waited until the woman's back completely disappeared in the distance, before turning to look around her surroundings.
