Xleena was in mid sip when she received the mind message.
Again, she allowed a smile. What's up with me? All i've done today is act like a giddy schoolgirl.
(Clearly an exaggeration, but perhaps not to Xleena.)
She stood up and finished her drink in one, smiling at the bartender. 'Thanks, i'll be back later.' Stretching slightly, the lioness donned her cloak and walked out of the inn. Looking around, she saw the outskirts of the woods in the distance. Weary from her battle, she didn't quite fancy the walk, but had something else planned. Pulling out from under her cloak, she attached two regal purple rods to her cloak fastenings, bent into arcs. Muttering an incarnation, the arcs sprung into a purple light, and formed into magnificent lilac wings that illuminated the space around her.
She sprung into the air, leaving a cloud of dust behind her, and sailed into the twilight ocean towards a small opening near the woods.
