She doesn't recognise that tree.
She's been here before, she's not that far from the estate, this isn't some unknown place. She must've taken a wrong turn, of course, but where? She should probably just try to retrace her steps, Jaol will be incredibly mad at her...
She has a better relationship with sleep. "It probably is. Is it a thing you want or do you think you can hold on 'til breakfast?"
He groans and sits up. "A thing I want. Though I'll have to warn you, I think this bed is attempting to eat me."
She walks over to him and pulls him up. "I am sure the bed means no harm and just wants to hug you." Kiss!
Indeed!
The place doesn't exactly have a menu. There's basically a pick-two-out-of-four deal: salad with dried jellyfish, fish, different fish, and weird-lake-creature soup, all served with some kind of unrecognizable grain and various lake plants. To drink is basically water or the house specialty alcohol, which glows.
Tetsuma gets soup and fish-the-second and a tankard of the glowy stuff. Because glowy alcohol. Definitely worth coming down here.
She doesn't particularly enjoy alcohol and doesn't particularly care about food so she'll have some water with some whatever.
Weird Glowy Alcohol is tart and sweet and not all that alcoholic, and after an initial offer to share a sip Tetsuma doesn't push it. All of the dishes are very good, at least.
The crowd's a bit noisy and, well, crowded, which has Tetsuma kind of on edge, but he's enjoying having a proper dinner with Dayo. It feels like a date. Which is. Nice.
"You're squirming there about having a date with me and it's adorable."
Kiss! "I like having a date with you! It's nice doing - civilian couply stuff. Maybe at the next stop we can spend some of it out on the town?"
"Sounds like fun! It's—kinda endearing and kinda horrible that you think of certain things as 'civilian stuff.' For aforediscussed reasons."
"Oh - yeah. I mean, I more meant that dates are something that commoners do. For the shinobi and noble clans, it's pretty much all arranged marriages. The common folk have more - freedom in that. The nobility is the military, so 'civilian' and 'non-civilian' is a reasonable split to make, in my mind. It's a class thing as much as a my-world-is-horrible thing." He shrugs. "Anyways, I think the Captain is familiar with the port, so we can maybe ask her for date locations?"
"Sure, sounds good. And yeah, I got that, it's just that it's not nice. I'm glad you get to have the good things in life like this, though."
Eventually they'll have eaten and should probably go back to their room.
Yup!
When they get to the room, Tetsuma curls up in a nest of blankets, snuggling down into the bed. "I like seeing the different ley-islands," he says with a yawn. "Though I'm also really glad to be off the ship."
Tetsuma gets up early in the morning, before what would be dawn. He leaves a quick note and heads out, intending to go for a run, but spots what looks like a jeweler's.
...Has he ever seen Dayo wearing jewelry, because the glowing jewelry is so cool and would be so pretty on her.
Not wearing any per se but there definitely was jewellery amongst her stuff.
