((OC: I had posted a reply but it signed me out before I posted it so I lost it T_T. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. XP.))
The night fell hard upon them with a dark shade of black and spots of light in the sky. Illuminating lights glowed and hovered like ghosts through a shrouded night. Ryu walked slowly, floating toward her bed that seemed to whisper her name out to her. Her ears actually thought it was a real illusion. As she approached the comfort of her bed, she let herself go into a free fall into what seemed like diving in the sky into a cloud. On impact, she fell asleep with the right side of her face pressed against the soft blanket. Ryu laid there soothingly sleeping. A few minutes of reaching slumber land, she pulled her right side under her into a loose and relaxed fetal position. Her legs bent, relaxed south of her body and one arm close to her face while the other just south of that. Her ears completely relaxed, not flat or sharp, but just there almost dead. There she slept letting the night pass by her in a dark room.

Nemorah's arm was covering her face as she slept, and she dreamt of blood-thirsty chocobos. She shuddered as she dreamt, and awoke suddenly to a creak in the house.
"Who's there?"
She said stupidly, rubbing her eyes. She knew there was no one there, it was just a reflex. She glanced around and took in her surroundings. She was on a couch in a cluttered room with the moonlight reflecting off the tables and various trinkets. Oh, right, she was in Ryu's house, that random stranger whom she knew barely anything about. Nemorah looked out the window, seeing the faintest slab of pink at the horizon. It would be morning in an hour or so. Nemorah laid back down and tried to fall asleep to get that hour of rest, but all she ended up doing was staring at the ceiling, pondering the upcoming day's events and the various adventures that may be in store for her.

((OC: Happy birthday!))
Shadows loomed through the darkness and only seemed to have hovered over Ryu, not touching her, letting the moonlight touch her, watching her. Like a crowd watching a fight, all gathered around the center of attention to see what would happen next. The darkness grew, then as hours passed, slowly began to fade as it did every night. Ryu laid on her bed with the soft blankets beneath her in the same position she had been for the whole night now. The crowd of shadows staring deeply into her as if they could read her dreams. May be they were her dreams. Shadows of people that could only stare in amazement.
Moonlight soon became replaced with sunlight. The first to awaken were birds, but before then, Ryu's ears came to life and pointed in a different direction. Her dark yet sharp eyes began to open slowly. Only partly open and still with slumber, Ryu stared in front of her. She didn't move, nothing other that movement came from her at first. She could sense the darkness surrounding her as she did all night. Her imagination gave the shadows life, made them move as they stayed gathered around her.
"...Morning..."

(OOC- Thanks! Sorry I haven't been on, even though it's been spring break with no school and all, heh. Been doing birthday stuff and whatnot.)
Nemorah jumped a little at this sudden voice, and looked at her. She immediately stood up, wanting to leave. She had stayed here for too long in this stranger's abode.
"Thanks for letting me sleep here."
She said, smiling and clearing her throat. The sound of the morning birds chirping filled the room and the sun was above the horizon completely at this point. Nemorah felt a sense of a new beginning, another day waiting to happen. She loved living life without a clear future in sight, it made things exciting. She had always loved surprises.

(OOC- Oh, I thought Ryu was saying that to Nemorah. My bad.)
Nemorah was still lying there as she felt the sun rays bounce off her face. She shut her eyes and squinted, but made no attempt to cover her eyes. She was comfortable where she was. She listened for movement in Ryu's room, but barely heard anything. Nemorah thought she heard a faint voice, but disregarded it.
She was kind of grateful to be waking up alive. Even though Ryu seemed trustworthy, strangers were always suspicious to Nemorah. But she found someone who she could trust enough to sleep at their house overnight. That seemed rare these days.
Maybe Nemorah should leave now, and write a note expressing her thanks for Ryu to find. She kind of dreaded an encounter, and longed to be on the road again. She pondered this for a while, lying there with her eyes tightly shut.

((OC: SO SORRY! XP.))
The morning rose bringing the sunlight directly into the windows. Ryu's room stayed pretty dim for her windows were shaded, but not so fortunate for Nemorah for the windows in the living room weren't. It was time that Ryu woken and so she pulled her body up with her head drooped down still tired. After a moment she raised her head to the right position and her eyes sharply open. She looked toward no particular point still gathering in the sunlight that rejuvinated her body.

(OOC- S'all good.)
Nemorah decided to stay, although her stomach was grumbling for some food. She wanted to eat soon. She wondered whether Ryu was up yet, she heard nothing inside her room.
The birds chirping outside were so enticing; she wanted to take a walk. That could be saved for later, though.

It was inevitably morning and now it was finally time that Ryu got up and risen from sleep completely. She let her feet grasp the floor and took steps toward the door. What awaited her on the other side was a somewhat familiar face, a new companion and friendship. Ryu didn't really recall all that happened the previous hours, but she knew there was someone there with no real identity other than the title of "stranger."
Ryu stepped in front of the door and slowly pushed through it with one hand. And there, there was the new face that seemed only like a glimpse from a dream, there on her own couch.
"Good morning." Ryu greeted standing in her room's doorway waiting for a reply.

Nemorah heard Ryu stirring in her room, and sat up to greet her.
"Hello, did you sleep well?"
She said as her stomach grumbled again, but not as loudly as last time. By now the sun was fairly above the horizon, sending light into the once-darkened room. Another day, another clean slate.

Ryu stood there looking around almost like she was unfamiliar with the surroundings.
"Yes, I suppose." Ryu replied.
Ryu stepped into the living area toward Nemorah. She made her way to the front door and without looking back, opened it and stepped out of the house.

Nemorah raised an eyebrow, watching Ryu. Ryu had a strange look on her face and Nemorah was slightly confused. She followed her and watched her as she stepped outside. What was going on?

Ryu stood outside about a few feet away from the doorway. She reached her arms above her head and stretched upward while her ears stretched themselves by pulling back. With the relaxing feeling overcoming her body, Ryu tilted her head back releasing her arms letting them drop down to her sides.
"What are your plans for today?" Ryu asked with her ears tentively pointing forward and the frame of her face tilting toward Nemorah slitly.

"Um, I'm just going to roam around this town, see what it has to offer....you?"
Nemorah asked, folding her arms in front of her and leaning in the doorway. She watched Ryu, sensing that this seemed to be an every day ritual.
Interesting.

Ryu's eyes drifted from Nemorah to somewhere random in front of her. A tree of course. Her gaze was set on that spot while her head was tilted slightly back and her arms just hung next to her.
"Well then, I guess I'll go with you." Ryu replied to Nemorah without thinking that she may not be invited along. Then her gaze went back to Nemorah and Ryu gave a simple smile.

Nemorah was taken off guard.
"Uh...well, yeah sure! That'd be great. You know this town more than I do, of course."
She grinned, glad Ryu would be able to show her around.

"Alright then." Ryu responded then headed back into the house. She went back to her room and grabbed something that was on the other side of her bed. It was rolled up. Next she grabbed something off the floor and hooked it around her waist. It hung off her waist a bit, but it seemed like a perfect fit. Ryu headed back to the front door and stood next to Nemorah.
"Let's go."

(OOC- Gotcha. I'll let you make the first post for us there.)
Nemorah nodded and ran her fingers through her hair a couples times to get out the knots. She wondered where Ryu was taking her today.
