[RP] The Inn of Peace - IoP (Open to all)

[Gren_Eckener]

"There is not a single person under this roof that I don't care about." said Gren softly, but clearly. "Regardless of their past."  

[Azana Brown]

"..." Tyler stayed out of it, but his body language said it all. He was insulted. They didn't care, and yet he ran into an inferno for her...? If it was all about her knowledge, she could have died then and there and it wouldn't have mattered. Then again, she didn't seem to be in the most logical state of mind.

Marilyn fell silent, looking around the group. Even with everything...she felt more at home here than in that convent. It was weird, and she wasn't quite sure what to say to it. "I...I'm sorry," she said at last, the full weight of it all on her. "I was really short-sighted in saying what I did..."  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren smiled warmly, setting down his wash cloth. "That's all right, Marilyn...we all have moments like that." he reassured. "I'll admit, we probably could have been warmer in reception, initially...but we're all only human, right?"  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kyou thought quietly on it, rolling the penny about with little clinks. Kyou had little experience with people beyond what had been gained here and trying not to be killed. And then she apologized. Very carefully Kyou wrapped long arms around the woman and hugged her tightly. Praying she did not have a knife or something equally as horrible.  

[Azana Brown]

"Ri--" Marilyn froze, pulled into a tight hug. Her entire body tensed for a moment, but it didn't last when she finally caught up to what was going on in that moment. Kyou would feel no violence, but rather a head resting on her, teary green eyes hidden under ginger waves.

Sosol arrived downstairs, a little dumbfounded by what he saw but alright with it all, regardless. Besides, he could sense a familiar presence in the Inn, one he'd love to see and talk to. Once he was conscious, of course. The first order of business, though, was just finishing her pancakes. "Rough one this year...?"

"Yeah, and it isn't even over," Azana answered in a whisper, letting Marilyn have her moment. "Then there's that whole thing about Remy...what do you think needed to wait?"

Tyler let out a slight shrug, walking up on the happy couple. Hopefully Kyou wouldn't be skittish, since he already proved he wasn't going to hurt either of them. "I guess this means you're sticking around for a bit...?"  

[Gren_Eckener]

Smiling at the hug, Gren meandered to the kitchen. This called for cocoa all around, courtesy of a comedic drink machine.  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kyou did not flinch, though was uncertain on what to do from here. Her hair was even prettier up close! Like a penny but better! Content on playing with the penny until the woman decided to pull away, Kyou looked at Tyler and smiled. As the question wasn't for Kyou, the attention returned to admiring the woman's hair.

Honey stepped beneath the ceiling pancake and caught it on top of the one on her head. She giggled the bird guy was so cool but she was STARVING and she'd only made one pancake successfully so far. She poured the last of the batter on the pan and wrinkled her nose humming, "'Ello, G'en."

Tamriel slipped off the chair and beneath it. The way to the stairs was a little crowded, she'd listened to the whole thing. What heart these humans had. Their souls would be wonde... were off limits and that was that. Wrapping her tail around herself she whined softly.  

[Azana Brown]

Marilyn nodded, pulling away and wiping a tear from her eye. "A little bit can't hurt..." She managed to get out, her suitcase lifting and coming to a rest next to the stairs. She blinked at Kyou, then looked to her hair. "...you seem, erm, fascinated..."

"Cura," Sosol muttered, predictably getting to work on Azana's cuts and bruises. "Well, he mentioned something about King's memories. Apparently, Vi's been drawing them, too. I guess those odd parallels in her work have method to their madness...she's still coming to terms with it."

"Good to know...I wonder if he's recovered yet. I mean, I'm still tired...but he's got a bit of an advantage on me." She slid the plate away, letting him work. "Unless Max dragged him off to Halloween parties..."

Tyler grinned before giving a light bop on the back of her head. "Stop thinking so little of yourself," he said, friendly if completely serious. "You goofed once. I've done more than that, and I still think I'm kind of a big deal. Charles is gone for good, no one here seems to still hate you, so let yourself be forgiven already." He left for another cup of coffee, slyly wondering how it would taste mixed with the cocoa that he could juuuust start to smell from the kitchen.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Hello, Honey." he replied warmly, pressing in the order. "Do you want any cocoa?"  

[Astra_Senpai]

Her head bobbed, noggin pancakes firmly in place, "Sur'! I ca' alwa's us mo'e suga' in my li'e." She flipped the pancake, this one wasn't burned! YES! She bounced on her toes, keying 'Rockin Robin', "'Ou lo'k righ' chip'er t'day, Lo'e."

A small blush crossed the lighter side of Kyou's face, green eye looking away, "The color is not one I am familiar with. I find it very pretty. Excuse my staring." Kyou shifted slightly, suddenly very itchy and not minding at all to partake in scratching. Kyou would have to ask Gren for new bandages today.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"The day's been going well, you know?" he smiled, adding another to the order. "Making pancakes, I see...how're those coming?"  

[Astra_Senpai]

She giggled, "I's kin'a fun'y I ca' ma'e 'ag'is bu' I canno' ma'e pa'ca'es. T'ler to'k of wit' t'o o t'em an' I'm s'ar'ing bu' as 'ou ca' see I'm we'ring mo'e t'an I've co'ked." She bounced from foot to foot and plopped the slightly burnt pancake on the lone plate. The other pancake long cold by now, but Honey didn't care. "Bu' I did no' se' m'se'f on fi'e or 'ave so'et'ing dro' d'wn f'om abo'e so m'ch bet'er t'an yes'erday."  

[Azana Brown]

"It's alright," Marilyn grinned, humming in thought. "It's not the most common of hair colors...then again, that salon can dye most any color you'd wish."

Tyler returned with Azana's empty plate, looking for cereal without disturbing Nate. Honey would probably be confused, but he didn't mind. He'd explain that they were delicious and he was still hungry. Both true, though completely unrelated.

"So, she's drawing things outside her own knowledge," Azana summed it up, stretching and moving a few stiff parts. "Is it some strange form of clairvoyance?"

"I'm not sure...I didn't look deeply into it. It's not what she wanted," Sosol answered. "I'm sure she'll find whatever answer she's looking for. And if she needs our help, we'll be there."  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Well, there's a boon." he smiled, setting her cocoa beside the stove with a grin. "Maybe tomorrow, there'll be even less!"  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kyou was absolutely dumbfounded, "Salon? What is a salon? Dye? You mean with berries or ground plants? Why would you change so lovely a color? Is that where that loud child had her hair turned so unnatural a color?"

"T'anks fo' the coc'a. T'is ba' lu'k a mi'e 'as ta' run ou' even'ually." Honey watched Tyler with curiosity. Ingus was the same way- he could eat four pies on his own and still be hungry, the glutton. Were all men like that? At least he'd told her if they were good of not. She reached back and seethed whipping her hand away from the pan. That was more certainly not the handle. She grit her teeth several choice words making their way through, opened a cabinet, pulled out olive oil and poured some on her hand over the sink. She worked the oil over the burns, "Spo'e t' so'n. Lord Abo'e, jus' one da' wit'out get'ing 'urt on so'et'ing wou'd be a mira'le."
