"Alright,. I'll remember that." Kate says flatly.

Skip to next day or do you want to RP more?

I am good. Tomoe and Lucia sleep well from sheer exhaustion after the "activities" in the bath. Ingrid sleep roughly as she is a bit nervous but still will get enough rest. 

(You just gave me Character Development ideas)

Ingrid wakes up in the middle of the night due to being nervous for the next day. She notices that the moon shining trough the window. Tomoe and Lucia are fast asleep but Kate is gone.

(Is there a balcony or perhaps a bar in this hotel?)

No balconies but there's a bar on the ground floor.

Ingrid outs on a night garment and goes looking for Kate. She first heads to the bar downstairs. 

Ingrid goes down and finds Kate in an empty common room smoking a cigarette (or the medieval equivalent). The brown haired barbarian spots Ingrid and quickly puts out the smoke. She says, "Can't sleep?"

No, and i assume you cant either ? Ingrid joins Kate at where ever she is in the bar. Mind if i stay with you for a bit?

"Nah go ahead." She says. She then adds, "Nervous for tomorrow I take it?"

Very. Ingrid replies as she joins Kate. I keep thinking and dreaming of all the horrible things that could go wrong. and what they would do to me, or you, or Tomoe-sama. 

Kate says, "Don't worry about us. You've seen us handle things much worse than a bunch of Clerics and Paladins." She stays quiet for a bit before adding, "I don't really like this plan either but we're out of leads and I don't have any better options. Wish we could have gotten someone else to do this but I doubt there are paladin mercenaries to hire."

I know Im not as tough as you. I couldn't even beat Red Guard. That fight should have killed me. I guess that's part of why i'm nervous too. But we dont have any other options. Ingrid pauses to let her though collect. And..i just want to be useful to Tomoe. More than just a messenger girl. 

Kate says flatly without looking at her, "I wouldn't be worried about being useful if I were you. As long as you keep doing what you do and keep gaining first hand experience in battle, you'll become useful to Tomoe. I know this because you're a paladin, which is a form of spell-caster. Last I checked, none of us can cast spells. Granted, Paladins are not as potent spell casters as Clerics or Wizards but just having the option of using magic is extremely helpful for any team. And unlike Clerics and Wizards, Paladins are also valuable even if they've expended their spells by virtue of being a competent front-line warrior if they run out of holy magic. I don't know what you're worried about to be honest."

Ingrid smiles at hearing how much potential Kate thinks she has I am still a kid after all. She says sarcastically, hoping it might make Kate smile or laugh. 

She doesn't laugh however, "Yeah you are and that's what worries me and probably your sister as well. You can be as tough as you want but it won't save you if you're careless. All it takes for one slip up and even the strongest warrior in the land will be on their knees."

Ingrid tries to show that what Kate said didn't make her feel better at all. I have to confident. I guess if all else fails, i can fall back on my youthful looks and feminine wilds. 

"Actually..." Kate says, "I think you should have some spells prepared specifically as contingency. Do you know any spells that can get you out of a bad situation? Something that might buy you time to get out or anything like that? And one more thing..." Kate pauses before continuing. "You are more important to the team than a lead. If you feel like things aren't going well, even if you aren't in danger then return to base. I'm sure Lucia will be able to find some lead even if this plan proves to be a bust."

Ingrid is visibly happy to hear Kate's opinion of her as a valued member of the team. Regarding her spells she says. I have a couple tricks, but nothing too strong. My magic reserves feel rather limited. I could probably only cast three times. But i can make my self a little tougher to get hit. Or i can cleans food and drink in a small area. And i can detect magic. 

Kate advises, "Yeah, making yourself hard to hit may work. Doing that and running is a viable strategy."

Good to know. I hope my acting skills are up to the task.
