When they reached a city called Springfalls, Vicente and Layla went in search of an inn where they could rest.
Resting in the woods was very bad and not suitable for people on the move. In other words, Vicente and Layla were in no hurry to reach their destination. Stopping in cities to rest wouldn't go against their plans, so they planned to rest in cities whenever possible on their journey.
The chances of both being attacked in cities were very low, and neither of them would easily get involved in old problems by stopping in cities on their way. New problems might even arise, but neither of them was interested in trouble until they reached the Chutha Dynasty, so even that had little chance of happening.
When they stopped in Springfalls, a city of about 80,000 citizens, they found no problems and soon found a place to spend the next 24 hours, enough for both of them to rest.
