Lulu’s smile is approving of Aten, so he’s definitely included in the statement. 

“Your hair is a mess,” she teases Yuna. 

Yuna looks sad for a moment, and her heart thuds painfully. She remembers a morning months (really?) ago, with him. 

“I’ll fix it later!” She says, batting Lulu away playfully. Her smile stays fixed, she can cry later. 

He pulses warmth and comfort over the bond to her, not sure what else to do.

She smiles at Aten in thanks, and then eats the food Lulu brought out.

Kimhari has already finished, and is standing guard nearby. 

Aten settles near Yuna, but also seems to be keeping guard.

Yuna finishes eating and sets aside her plate. She looks at the door to the tavern, frowns, and then takes her blanket out from her pack to wrap herself in. 

Kimhari guesses quickly what she means to do. “No. Yuna goes inside.”

“I don’t want to leave Aten on his own!” Yuna argues. 

“Kimhari stay with Aten. Yuna goes inside.”

“But-”

Yuna looks to Aten to back her up. 

"I- you should. Go inside?" Aten says. "Safer. Warmer."

Yuna pouts. “I’m being ganged up on! I’m the summoner!”

She grudgingly stands up. 

“Aten is right. Safer inside. Less reason for Kimhari to worry.”

At that, Yuna ducks her head shyly. “I didn’t think you worried about anything.”

“If Yuna care as much about Yuna as others, Kimhari would not have to.”

Yuna pokes her tongue out at the ronso, and then hugs him. He hugs her back, and is that purring she can hear? It’s at least warm rumbling. 

“All right. I’ll see you both in the morning.” She waves at Aten and disappears inside the inn. 

Aten settles down again, nearer to Kimahri this time.

The violinist is having an argument with her companion. She loses, sighs, and follows after Yuna into the Inn.

Her companion settles down, leaning against eir pack, tucking eir arms behind eir head and whistling quietly.

Kimhari looks over his shoulder at the masked person. 

He turns away. “You are not meant to be here.”

"And yet: here I am."

“Why.”

"Why are any of us?"

“Fiends linger where they should not. Kimhari stand guard.”
