The inn was kinda busy given the time of day it was. As the group enters, they spot the man who had offered them the chance to get into the castle near the stairs. He motions for them with his right hand to follow him.

Cetishil follows the man, looking around for any signs of trouble, as does Luis. (Perception check 4+14=18, Perception check Luis 2+9=11.)

Shanara keeps an eye out as well, cautiously moving in to see what the man had to offer. (Perception 14+10=24)

Burnish found this exceptionally fishy, and tried to remain vigilant, which was a struggle, as low to the ground as he walked, due to his lack of stature.

Perception: 11

Both Cetishil and Shanara and Burnish spot nothing up with anything as the man leads them into a room. Inside, they find a heavily armored man sitting at the corner of the room. "My guard, in case any of you get any crazy ideas. As long as you don't, then it'll be like he was never here." The suited man then explained to the party. Once he sat down at one side of a table, he motioned for the party to sit at the other end of it.

Cetishil sits, giving a cordial nod to the guard. She makes sure that Burnish is next to her though.

Burnish gets low, unfurling his wings to make himself look as big as possible, on seeing the armored human. He looked too much like the dragon's only natural predators.

Knights.

It was only with what he perceived to be Cetishil's bravery that he was able to find it in himself to get close enough to climb onto a chair and sit, though he tried to stay close to mom, if only to help protect her.

Shanara spared the guard a single glance to confirm he was not one of the elves they were hunting before gracefully sitting down.

"Right then, let's get down to business. I assume you want to get into the castle for the ball they're holding two days from now right?" He then asks the party.

"Yes, that is what we are looking to do." Cetishil says.
