Rie and Nuru sat there for a while in silence, but not an uncomfortable silence...more like a contented silence, just pleased to be with each other and finding no need for words. Finally Rie stood up.
"Well, I had told myself earlier that I'd probably not stay here for the night, and I was right--I suppose I know myself. I hear some commotion downstairs, and I wouldn't want to miss anything. And it appears that this is an inn where if you stay too long in one place, you miss a world of activity!" Rie laughed cheerfully, and gestured for Nuru to stand up. "So come, let's go down and see what's going on, and what we've missed."
