Meanwhile Röst has been attempting to integrate with the town. Initially she's followed and distrusted by villagers and guards alike. After almost a week, one of the guards named Corun Glowtrail has started to warm up to her. Talking and walking with her often and showing interest in a genuine interaction.
It's on one of these walks that Cloud walks out from behind a building in front of them, and Röst tenses up before reaching down to look it in the eyes. After a minute or two Cloud bounds away happily. Röst shakily stands and tells Corun she needs to see where the captured man had been taken. He thinks about it for a minute before helping her along, bringing her to the guard captain.
The captain explains he can't let her in and would need clearance for her to be allowed to talk with the prisoner.

Yeah I like random guard #323 being into goat women. It could be a fun dramatic bullshittery event.
