sixty.

[ This particular dream takes place in yet another room of the Amagi Inn. Yukiko is in her usual pink kimono for the job, bustling about the room to get things ready for their next customer. An older Japanese woman, her hair tied in an elegant bun, is also there: the two seem to be talking back and forth to one another, absorbed in conversation. ]

[Meanwhile after visiting Vayne for awhile, Allen has seemed to find himself in the lobby of the inn. He's looking around, once again not recognizing his surroundings]

I wonder where I am now...

[fanassaults]

Hm?

[ Oh hello, a customer? Yukiko pokes her head out of the room and approaches! ] Ah, Allen...welcome to the Amagi Inn!

[save_the_souls]

[He turns and looks at her, smiling]

Oh...hello Yukiko!

This is your inn?

[fanassaults]

That's right. [ go go dream logic making her not question why he's here, yeahhh ] May I help you?

[windsturms]

[doesn't know where this is, but it feels nice in a vaguely familiar way. Go go country roots. Don't mind if she looks around]

[fanassaults]

[ you better B( but once she sees her! ]

Ah...Erica, you're here too?

[windsturms]

[a small 'heh' and wave]

Seems to be it. Where is "here," though?

[fanassaults]

The Amagi Inn, of course. Have you come to take a room?

[stalkershiki]

[Well. Shiki's been finding herself in a whole bunch of places she doesn't know, recently. And you'd think that practice would make this kind of thing easier. But, strangely enough, it doesn't. So Shiki's gonna find herself feeling awkward in another unfamiliar place, and is just gonna hang back for a bit. You know, survey her surroundings and stuff. Besides, that wall might collapse if she's not there to prop it up! That's totally why she's being a bit of a wallflower. Obviously. It has nothing to do with the fact that she knows no one, and she can't force a friendship by pacting with someone. No, nothing at all.]

[fanassaults]

[ Whatever you say, Shiki. That outfit in this place would definitely stand out amongst all the kimonos and other crap, so Yukiko comes on over after she's done with her current task. ]

May I help you?

[stalkershiki]

Yeah, you... well, I don't know if you... I mean, I...

[Deep breath, Shiki. Those words and things you learned as a child. This would be a good time to use them.]

I came here from the castle, and I... don't really know where I am. I-I'm sorry if I'm intruding or something!!

[fanassaults]

Not at all. It's a public inn, after all. Were you looking to use the hot springs, or taking a room?

[custodismundi]

[oh... my. how did he get here? just a second ago, wasn't he--

...the sight of Yukiko is familiar; he can hear her voice from where he's standing, just about make her out, along with who he assumes is her mother by the way they're tightly embracing. and it only takes a beat or two after that for the priest to realize he must still be dreaming. ...and, perhaps, unintentionally invaded hers as others had been prone to joining his.

Paradisa was in an unusual mood tonight, hm?

he feels a little like he's invading in this private moment, averting his gaze awkwardly and shifting his weight as he looks about, whistling non-nondescriptly to himself as he waits for her to be... um. a little less-- busy having a touching moment with her family.

...but God help him if he couldn't help the little, fond smile at his face to see her so happy]

[fanassaults]

[ IS THAT SOME PAPA PRIEST I SEE...Yukiko only notices once her mother has popped off to do something else, but then you'd better believe she has a big smile for him. ]

Father Abel? Welcome!

[custodismundi]

[b-- b'aww, he returns that smile with ease. YUKIKO...]

I hope I'm not- disturbing anything...? [HOW ARE YOU SO ADORABLE ALL THE TIME EVER LDKJF...]

[fanassaults]

[ BECAUSE YOU HAVE EXCELLENT TIMING. She just shakes her head. ]

Not at all. [ glance about- anyone listening? okay good. ] I'm just happy to be home again.
