The inn is close by, let's start walking. [Ib might notice that Saionji's a lot more quiet than their previous encounters. Her Ampharos walks up to her from across the street- she lets them out like that?- and nods at her, before Saionji just nods back and continues walking.

Is she signalling for Ib to follow?]

Possibly, but honestly? I think he's far too pathetic to arrange for attacks, much less actually do one himself. He's probably just a distraction. [...Ah, how wrong you are, Saionji.] Two people have been attacked already, and it could possibly be indiscriminate. If you look so disheveled and dirty, you'll just make yourself look weak and an easy target.
