I assure you, the pleasure is mine.

[Roaming the world is valuable and delightful; sharing that experience with a friend all the more so. Rarely has she had good company, in this last long while.]

It is different here, is it not? You already have the feeling of being away from home and in a new, unfamiliar place, so spending a night in a different unfamiliar place is not so strange.

hehe we can probably wrap on yr reply so it's done before you go on vacation !!

[placation]

[ It's an interesting point, and a valid one. Maruki finally opens up his satchel to produce the blanket he'd brought and shakes it out to lay on the ground near the fire as he speaks. ]

You're not wrong, but at the same time, it's strange how quickly we can settle into a place and make it feel more familiar. Somnius is nothing like Tokyo, and the castle I live in is nothing like my cramped little apartment–

[ Satchel closed up again, he hangs it from one of the nearby tree branches and grins at her. ]

But it's a little like home already. Ah, but I suppose that's a feeling a homebody like me would cling to – an adventurer like you who won't even settle down in a home, not so much.

[ And a wink, to boot. He's teasing. For now. GIRL YOU'RE GONNA NEED A HOUSE!!

Then he settles down onto the blanket and pats the spot next to him. ]

Come on. We can tell a few more stories to pass the time.

If you love everywhere, everywhere is your home.

[There are a couple of places. Dark, dangerous ones, that have an altogether different appeal. The castle, in many places the labyrinth. But here, she can feel comfortable and happy.]

As for stories, well. Perhaps I should relay one about a snowy mountain pass and the avalanche that threatened the nearby village...

[Stories are wondrous ways to take another person to a place they cannot see, and also to return to the places you yourself have been. Delighted by the opportunity to share, Venat takes a seat without hesitation, beginning a tale of adventure and danger and delight.]

[This promises to be the best night she has spent in this world thus far.]
