yoon's palace

[strawsandals]

I thought I told you to leave me alone.

[ Somebody turned down the temperature! Ai's shivering, which only makes her cling to the arm of the man who had so graciously prevented her from flying through the portal face first. ]

I-I think I'm okay. Are you?

[ What now? ]

[ledbythewind]

It would seem so...

[... ah. He notices her shivering, though, and he's quick to take off his cape and offer it to her.]

Here. I'll be all right without this for now.

[idealies]

Thanks, I owe you! Our adventure is off to a strange start~

[ She tries to sound positive though her teeth is chattering. Ai gratefully accepts the cape and wraps it around her. Luckily, she's not as underdressed as some folks. She's wearing a sweatshirt and pulls the hood over her head. ]

[That actually gets a little smile out of Richard! If she can be in good spirits, then he'll try to be, too... or at least keep up the image of it.]

I suppose it could be worse, although I do wonder where we've ended up this time...

[idealies]

Is this a place from the palace owner's memories? It looks like the people here have it hard.

[ Ai murmurs quietly as she glances around the run-down village. Though maybe she shouldn't be feeling too bad for them since these people are turning out to be shadows! ]

[ledbythewind]

It must be. It doesn't look anything like the world we've been staying in.

[And it really doesn't look great, either, like Ai said. Richard has never seen a village that looks quite this down on its luck before...]

[idealies]

[ Her stomach at this time decides to grumble loudly and she cups her cheek in embarrassment. ]

The meal can wait, we've got to find the palace owner and help them out!
