The Innkeeper sat at his desk with his eyes closed, almost as if he was asleep, though she knew that wasn't the case. He was watching over the Inn, and the dozens of taverns that had been deployed across the Origin realm. Although, considering the Henali's recent stance, he didn't really need to oversee them personally, the Innkeeper had taken to doing that more and more often.
Over the past year, Mary had seen Lex become more and more quiet. To call him a recluse would be inaccurate - he made sure to appear inside the Inn or one of his taverns every day. But he talked to his guests, spent time with them, and even oversaw the Inns operations with greater care than many years prior.
