Aleesa's Room: There is nothing unusual about the skin itself, and it is still a little flexible, so probably was shed in the past week.
The Falls: The boy with the lute looks shocked, then wary. He then faces you and says, "Your friend doesn't know her as well as she thinks, we were in the East Woods two days ago, she went off to make water, and didn't return. We figure she went off with that 'boyfriend' she's always claiming to meet alone out there."

Some goosebumps on the back of his head, the barbarian stays quiet for the time being but he tries to understand the boy's behavior, if he is saying the truth and/or if he holds anything
Adalai sucks in a breath between his face, giving a slow shake of his head as his smile broadens. "Well friend, he is not going to be happy about that one." He says with a chuckle, eyeing Ammus, his apparent mirth not reaching his eyes. Returning his gaze to the young man, his expression grows contemplative. Raising his thumb and forefinger to his chin, he cocks his head to the side. "Wait, two days you say? She's been gone for that long? That sounds... worrying. You think she ran off without saying goodbye? This 'boyfriend' of hers seem the type to just whisk her away like that?"
[The Undermayor said that she disappeared yesterday, right? Am I getting the impression that he didn't find her back home yesterday morning and made that his day 1, while these kids know she disappeared the night before or do these timelines just not match up?]
Edit: Replaced "meeting his eyes" with "reaching his eyes."
A young dwarven boy with a wispy beard says to the lute-player, "Ulric, don't go shooting yer mouth off just to feel important. You weren't even there, yer just mangling the stories you heard. Sorry, folks, he has the right of what happened, but it was yesterday she disappeared."
[[OOC: I messed up the timelines, but they are back on track.]]
Kellan sighs with frustration. "I found her diary. It mentions she wanted to start a new life with some bloke named Silas. I've never heard of him, and I know most people in the village. Anyway, it troubles me. Who knows what this Silas is capable of? I say we make our way to the hill now and look around for evidence of Aleesa and maybe this Silas too."
Adalai gives a few appreciative nods toward the lute player, "It feels good to be the subject of a narrative but... maybe lets save our extravaganzas for the tavern, eh?" He turns his attention back towards the young dwarven man, perking up slightly as he recognizes him. "This isn't sounding very comforting so far. Do you know anything about this boyfriend she mentioned? You're her best friends, I figure you'd be the one she'd gossip with about this, eh?"

Kellan thanks Harbin for his time. He turns back to Tristan and Misty. "Let's head to the trapper's house to see if we can find any more clues." The half-elven ranger leaves Aleesa's house and makes his way toward where he knows Old Laughing Joe lives. As the local trapper, Kellan has crossed paths with the man on many an occasion as he roams around the forest hunting game and keeping an eye out for dangers. He knows the old man as well as he knows anyone in the village. He hopes harm hasn't come to him, or Aleesa for that matter, but the longer they remain missing the chances of finding them alive and unhurt start to dwindle.
MIsty, Kellan, and Tristan: You reach the trapper's hut before the others. It is a small, well maintained structure, although it does look a little asymmetrical, as many of it's materials look like they were salvaged from other construction projects.

Kellan shrugs and hands over the snake skin to Tristan. "Sure, what do you make of it?"

"It's still fresh, no more than a week old. What did you find? Anything we can follow up on?"

"Makes sense. Maybe we start with the trapper's place?"
Kellan nods at Tristan. "I think we've gotten all we can from Aleesa's rooms. Let's make our way there."
He returns to Harbin.
"I found Aleesa's diary," he begins by way of explanation. "In it she mentions a man named Silas. Do you know who that is?"
