Eiko whimpered. Seeing one that he would call an adult so uncertain made the boy even more confused. And when any child is confused they do what any other child would do in the situation, and that is cry. As tears began to fall, Eiko brought his hands up to his face as he sobbed quietly.

Kokushou put a hand comfortingly - or at least what she thought was comfortingly - on Eiko's shoulder. She had no idea what to do when kids cried, though she was the oldest child in her family. She also had no idea how to befriend someone. Living a life in a palace really did cut you off from the rest of the world. "Um, er... you guys have to show her that you care for her, and accept who she is..." she said hesitantly, trying to recall all kinds of 'motivational' speeches she had heard when she was young.

Yuki threw herself into Kokushou, hugging her tightly. "That's really good advice, Kokushou-sama!" she cheered. "Except, how..?"

[Magicress]

Orine facepalmed inside the room, clearly hearing them as well as Eiko's sobs. She came out and sighed as she stood akimbo. "Am I really THAT scary? Really, I've never actually punched anyone I personally is quite friendly with. Oh and fyi, I'm being quite friendly to you guys already by my standards. Seriously, I don't think I've even pinched any of you yet." Orine huffed. Then she sideways glances at Eiko, since she was really facing them and an evil gleam appeared in her eyes. "Come to think of it..." She started and flew over to Eiko and started rubbing his cheeks and squeezing his face. "I really haven't pinched all of you. And kids who cry will get their candies taken away along with extra punishment." With that, Orine lifted him up horizontally and gave him a noogie in mid-air. Then she set him down and proceeded to Yuki and Kokushou, repeating the same movements except for the lifting off ground.
I'm back! How was your guys' breaks?))

[snownina]

((hihi and good, i guess ))

Kokushou raised an eyebrow at Orine's actions. "Alright then..." she muttered. She wasn't exactly good at this sort of touchy-feely stuff. Or human psychological behavior, for that matter. "Anyways, we should be arriving at our destination tomorrow. You should all get some rest," Kokushou said quickly, changing the subject to something she felt more comfortable with.

[Magicress]

Orine shrugged. "To prove I'm not that rash." She said simply and turned heel, arriving back in the room. "So, I guess everyone's sleeping in this... Hay filled room?"

[snownina]

Kokushou grimaced. "Er, yeah. One, we need to save up our money. Two, the ship is full with people. Three, it's only for one night, so please bear with me, guys." She said, rubbing her forehead. What if Eiko and Yuki protested and started crying or burst out into some other childly manner Kokushou couldn't understand? What if Orine decided the conditions were unsuitable for her and rebelled?

Kokuryo sighed, falling back into the hay and seeming quite content. "Meh, I've had worse. It's actually a lot more comfortable than sleeping on the sand, you know. Then again, sand is quite comfortable too. You just have to hope a sandstorm doesn't come while you're sleeping, or you might end up with a mouth full of the gritty stuff." Indeed, the young man did look quite at home where he lay, his arms splayed out in a carefree manner. Of course, he'd make room if anybody needed it. If not, then he would get that particular area all to himself. They wouldn't realize what they were missing out on until it was far too late.

{I'm back. Inspiration has returned to me}

[snownina]

((glad to have you back c:))

Kokushou frowned to herself when she saw how comfortable her brother was with just straw and sand to sleep on. Maybe she should be more like him, being able to adjust to anything, but then again, she just wasn't used to the outside world. Living an entire life pampered int the palace was a lot different from sleeping on straw. Maybe Kokuryo had made the right decision, leaving the kingdom to who-knows-where. "Well then." she said simply, gesturing for the others to find a spot to sleep or do whatever. She sat down next to her younger brother. "Kokuryo, where have you been all these years?"

[CorvusSchnee]

Kokuryo looked at his sister, shocked to hear that she was actually interested in knowing where he'd been. Perhaps it was a good idea to stick around a while longer, get to spend time with Kokushou and make up for the time he'd lost. "I've been all around, searching for a dungeon. A very particular one, to be honest. You've heard of the Djinn named Paimon, haven't you? She was our ancestor's Djinn, and I'd like to make her mine. I just have to find her dungeon first, but obviously I can't do that alone."
