The sound of the new person's voice flowed through to Ryu's ears. Her voice was smoother than Ryu had imagined when first setting eyes on her.
"Nemorah huh?" Ryu began, "Ryu." She paused slightly in the middle for no reason in particular. Getting the feeling that her new friend was becoming tired, Ryu stood up.
"I suppose you'd like to go now." Ryu said standing in front of the chair she had sat in turning to the Nemorah letting her lips roll into a small smile.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah."
Nemorah realized she was yawning, and stood up. She noticed the bar seemed a little more noisy than before. It was probably her slight drunk-ness (not a word, but oh well).
"That would be a great idea."

"So it would seem." Ryu answered back to Nemorah.
The one part that Ryu hated the most, getting through a crowd of people she really did not like. Instantly her ears flattened back against her hair as she began to shove her way through a bunch of drunk men that smelled worse than beer vomitted from a pig.
Finally she made her way out of the bar, and now led Nemorah to her home. It was just around the corner, not yet visible, but there. The Inn was across the way, pretty far from the bar to help keep bad customers away. Ryu's home was inbetween the distance.
"Just over here." Ryu called to Nemorah and opened the door for her guest.

"Thanks!"
Nemorah said, sliding through. The air was so much sweeter out here, and she practically drank it in.
"Aaahh, nice."
She realized, looking at Ryu, that she had ears. She wondered what she was, she hadn't seen many people with ears before.

Ryu's home was quiant, small, and full of books, papers, and old research. Messy would have been an understatement to describe the disaster looking area. It had a musty feel, and a sort of musty smell. It didn't help that they were in actual trees so the mustiness would have been there either way. But, there was a homey feel and a distinct smell of flowers, though there were no flowers around.
"I hope you don't mind staying on the couch. I only have one bed, and excuse my greediness, but I plan on using it." Ryu remarked entering her home and shutting the door behind her. After locking it shut, she stepped in poiting toward the cough in the central area of the home.

"Couches are much better than tree branches, trust me. Thanks."
Nemorah smiled and looked around. She liked it because of the musty smell, it reminded her of forests. She wished she had a nice little home like this.
"I really like it."

Ryu walked in a bit more and sat on a pile of books big enough to hold her weight without dropping her or tilting over. Her back arched forward and her head proped up on her left hand.
"Thanks. Sorry for the mess." Ryu replied back to Nemorah closing her eyes, seemingly not sincere, and relaxed a bit.

"I like things messy because it shows that at least someone lives here. When things are too clean it becomes too impersonal, you know?"
Nemorah said, sitting on the couch and crossing her legs. She wasn't sure how to ask the question about her ears. She was curious to know what Ryu was exactly, but wasn't sure how to ask.

"Ironic. It was my father who left this mess, funny thing is though, is that he's dead." Ryu replied to Nemorah. She didn't mean to sound mean about it or anything, just really seemed ironic to Ryu honestly. Ryu's eyes began to get a bit heavier and her head seemed to have gained weight, or her wrist suddenly lost strength. It must have been late out, it was dark, and Ryu was actually getting tired.

Nemorah didn't know what to say to that, so she respectfully looked at the floor. When she looked back up, she noticed that Ryu was tired.
"Don't let me keep you up."
She hated feeling like a nuisance to others. Hopefully Ryu wasn't annoyed by her presence.

"Some nights," Ryu started, "I like to see just how long I can stay awake." She opened her eyes and looked directly at Nemorah's face. "This seems to be one of those nights, don't you agree?" She added.
"Don't worry about it." Ryu said then closing her eyes again.
"What do you plan on doing in the morning?" Ryu asked.

"I want to walk around town, see what this place has to offer."
Nemorah said, fiddling with her hair slightly. She closed her eyes for a second, but opened them again. She wasn't tired enough to sleep yet.
(OOC- I'm getting lazier and lazier with these posts as it gets later. It's now 2:30 and I have to be up at 9. Great. Haha. So I'm gonna get off here, I'll be on tomorrow night, but not late cause of school. >_< Seeya.)

It grew more silent than ever. It was darker out and the dim lights from buildings glowed soflty. More bugs buzzed in the air as the darkness covered the town, more than usual during the day. It seemed like it was only them two awake now talking through the night. Even the drunks were heading to rooms, their homes, or wherever to do what drunks do.
"So you haven't been to Guadosalam before?" Ryu asked Nemorah.

(OOC- Haha "to do what drunks do." Amazing.)
"Nah, I've never really wandered out in these parts before."
Nemorah said, clearing her throat and crossing her arms. She still had much of the world to see, which excited her. She liked being a vagabond, living by her own rules and sleeping under the stars. Of course, an occasional bed/couch like this was great.
"Where should I go tomorrow that will be interesting?"

Ryu listening tentively shifted her eyes to gaze at Nemorah's direction. It wasn't often Ryu had visitors in her home, actually almost never. The occasional cute drunk, but other than that, no one in particular. She began to fiddle with pages near her right hand. Books piled as high as she was seemed to catch her interest now. Her eyes went back down and looked at all the paper around her.
"There's really not that much in Guadosalam to be honest. The Macalania forest is pretty interesting though. Lots of things floatin around there." Ryu answered Nemorah.
"I'm heading out soon too. Guess I might head that way. Maybe. Haven't decided yet." Ryu added.

"I guess I'll go that way as well. I like exploring."
Nemorah said, feeling like a slight dork. She didn't want Ryu to think she was gonna be an annoying tag-a-long.
"I mean, not that I'll go with you or anything, unless you want me to..."
She said, biting her lip. Sometimes she felt like such a social outcast.

((OC: Sorry for the long wait XP.))
Ryu looked up at Nemorah giving her a look that could have meant a few things. Her hair slideways in front of her face because of the angle she was at, at least the hair that was in front of her ears. The rest stayed behind it. She gave Nemorah that look of her's for a moment or two then turned back away.
"I guess that wouldn't be helped then now would it?" Ryu sarcastically remarked.
The dead silence got the best of them at moments like this, and Ryu knew there wasn't anything that could really be done. There isn't much you can ask a complete stranger, even though strangers know nothing about each other. That made it harder to decifer each other and what to ask, what not to ask. Ryu really didn't care much at this point what was said, especially at this hour. Ryu was an open book, if the reader looks for the right pages, for the most part.

(OOC- It's okay, I haven't been on the past few days anyway.)
"Sorry, I tend to say weird things when it's late. I am pretty tired. I'd like to sleep now, if that's okay."
Anything to get away from this moment.
Nemorah said, putting her hair behind her ears and staring straight ahead.

"No problem with me." Ryu replied to Nemorah and instantly stood up and walked toward her room.
A door elegantly designed, though it was a basic and common design in Guadosalam, lead to another room that was much more clean than the one they were in at the moment. A simple room, books that were organized, and a bed in the far left corner as you enter.
"Don't hesistate to wake me up if you need anything." Ryu added before she shut the door behind her.

"Thanks."
Nemorah said, and lied down, closing her eyes. Today proved to be very interesting yet strange. Maybe tomorrow would be different.
