[Such a good man. It really is unbelievable that he's still alive and kicking...but then, that's why the distance had been necessary, and that distance is what made him so interested in following her notes. Hm, if she thinks too long about all that, she might feel awful again, and she doesn't want to feel awful! She wants to check out her sweet new hotel room.]

You say that to all the girls?

[It takes some doing to crawl out on her own with the heavy bag she drags along and swings onto her back, but once she's out and she stretches out the aches and pains from being cramped up so tensely. Oof.]

Okay... Okay.

[Lead the way, Teo... Ryder is happy to stay at his side again, and looking around the city as they go through feels weirdly nostalgic. When they come upon the hotel in question, her eyes widen in wonder. Maybe the actual room wouldn't be as ideal, but she can't help but feel like this is the better spot when she reaches to the wildly grown plants.]

A mystical forest... Used to be a simple witch hut here, but it became a rest stop. [Distracted and looking at the world rather than the person beside her or worrying over their situation, she doesn't have the same halting speech.] That's why all the rooms. You think there's a broom rental nearby?

[She smiles to herself a little, but looks a little pink again when she turns.]

Um. It's pretty.

[That's all she meant.]
