A Place to Crash (Completed)

[shareacare.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Ahnassi and Juro
Content: Ahnassi and Juro get a room. (No, it's not like that)
Setting: Actua Are [F3]
Time: Evening
Warnings: People with allergies to fur should stay away.

The walk to Actua Are was short, although not especially pleasant. It certainly wasn't unpleasant, either, but Juro wasn't exactly the best company, even if Ahnassi had decided by this point that he wasn't so bad to have around. He just wasn't an especially cheerful or talkative person. The Khajiit hoped maybe she could change that, given some time, but even though it was possible, it would definitely take some work. For the moment, though, it was enough that he was keeping her company. It meant she knew someone in the city, and that made her happy. With any luck, she would make many more friends soon.

Actua Are itself wasn't anything that impressive. It looked just the slightest bit run-down, although not nearly as much as some of the buildings in Pelagiad had been. If anything, it reminded her a little of home. Perhaps there were nicer places to stay in the city, but Ahnassi wasn't exactly a rich Khajiit and she was tired enough that she didn't want to go look at other places at the moment. This would do for now.

"Does Juro want to stay in his own room, or shall we share?" she asked her companion as they neared the doors of the hotel. "Ahnassi does not mind, either way, but it would cost less if we stay together."

Ahnassi nodded, deciding to ask for one room, since she wanted to conserve her money. She wasn't sure how soon she'd be able to get more, so it would be safer to avoid spending it all in one place. She wasn't even sure what the people of the city would think of her money, but her coins were gold, so she assumed they would be accepted.

The Khajiit entered the building, glancing around casually as she walked to the front desk. Although it appeared as though she was merely curious, in reality she was trying to determine the value of the various items and decorations filling the room. She did, after all, have a trade to pursue. It was about time she considered her options.

She did have more important things to take care of before getting back to business, though. Walking over to the front desk, she leaned over to the bored-looking human there and asked for a room. There was a little dish of candies on the edge of the desk, so she selected two of those while she waited for him to find her a room key. She tossed one of the candies in her mouth as she accepted the key and her eyes widened at the sweet flavor. Those were pretty good! Grabbing a small handful of them out of the dish, she turned back to Juro with a grin.

"Would Juro like a candy?" she asked, offering him one of the sweets. "They are very tasty!"

The fur on the back of Juro's neck raised slightly as he entered right behind Ahnassi. He grit his teeth and looked around - it had been a while since he'd been in any kind of building, and the confined space made him nervous. He slowed down his pace, almost wanting to dash back to the door. Had he been alone, he would have done so; but with others possibly looking, he wasn't about to wound his pride by doing so.

He gave the offered candy a contemptuous glance, and snarled for a moment. "Damned human sweets," he said. "No thanks, I'll pass. For all I know they'll make my fur fall out." He scratched at his shoulder nervously for a moment.
