Like I said, you can come here any time. Ymir is a small town and especially when there aren't visitors the hot springs are rarely crowded.

[He stretches and relaxes back.]

I'll take you to my house after this, make you some tea and a snack. You're welcome to sleep over if you're tired too.

[crystallinelore]

You are being very kind. I may take you up on that.

[he shouldn't stray from the tower for long, but... a night, probably won't hurt.]

[awakenerd]

You don't strike me as a bad guy. And I don't know where else you'd go.

[The tower didn't look comfortable.]

[crystallinelore]

The tower is my home, Rean. All the same, your hospitality is appreciated.

[gently.]

[awakenerd]

Is it? I didn't see anywhere to sleep.

[crystallinelore]

And yet you found me sleeping.

That said, you absolutely did not explore the entire tower. It is far larger than it seems.

[awakenerd]

Really?

[He's not disbelieving it's just his interest is piqued.]

I'd live to see more.

[crystallinelore]

The parts you didn't see are likely still infested... I'll need to deal with that.

[awakenerd]

I can help.

[crystallinelore]

I wouldn't wish to risk you further.

[awakenerd]

Exploring dangerous unknown technology is basically what I do at this point.

[crystallinelore]

[eyeballs him for a few moments, notably.]

...A strange occupation.

[awakenerd]

[Scratching his cheek self-conciously.]

Well. I'm actually a teacher but that just kind of happens.

[crystallinelore]

One would think those at odds.

[awakenerd]

Really? I mean, I guess it would depend... I might live a slightly weird life. But it's never boring, and I've always got people to depend on. Besides, that tower isn't quite like anything I've encountered before.

[crystallinelore]

I should certainly hope you haven't encountered anything of the sort... The tower is enough trouble on its own, and I fear to imagine what could happen if its creators had traveled this far.

...Wherever this far is.

[awakenerd]

You're in Erebonia, near the Eisengard Range.

[crystallinelore]

I am afraid I'm from far enough afield that I've heard of neither.

[awakenerd]

... Where ARE you from?

[crystallinelore]

... The Source. Though it's fair if you don't know what I mean.

[awakenerd]

I'm afraid I don't.

[He sighs.]

Looks like we should get that tea abs have that talk.

[crystallinelore]

We should.

[even though this is warm and he would kind of like to... not that thing...]

[awakenerd]

[Hell helpfully get out first and call that the clothes are ready so rip.]

[crystallinelore]

[hhhhghhh

he's only a moment later along, and he's very glad to dress in the warmer clothes, exposed to the cold air after the spring's heat.]

[awakenerd]

[Rean makes sure he's ready before leading him to the mansion on the other side of town. It's a cold walk but the house is warm and Rean seats him in a comfortable chair by the fire after introducing him to his parents. He leaves but returns directly with a tray of tea and food, sitting in the chair next to G'raha as he serves him.]
