The morning began with renewed vigour. They both left in search of the lady in the mask, Chantel. Evelyn followed Elric in the market, curiously looking at the shops and the various items they sold. Few of them she had never seen. She wanted to have a closer look but stopped herself as the main focus was now the case.
As she walked glancing at the shops, she didn't notice Elric halt and bumped into him. Frowningly, she looked at him turn around, gazing at her bemused.
"Are you trying to make a record of bumping into me, Miss Hiccups?" He asked with a mischievous smile.
"You stopped walking suddenly," she replied in a complaining tone.
"Cause we are at the place we need to be."
His words made her puzzled as they stood in front of a Tavern. She looked bewilderedly at him wondering if he wanted to have a drink in the broad daylight instead of solving the case.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I am not going to have a drink. At least not when you are around."
