Who: Nageki and Hiyoko
Where: Cherrygrove, an inn.
When: Tonight, fairly late.
Summary: Nageki and Hiyoko finally talk, now that Hiyoko isn't distracted by brutalizing bird mons.
Rating: PG-13 for probable discussions of death and body horror from both of them. Blanket spoiler warning for Hatoful Boyfriend!
Log:

It had taken him longer than was really sensible to talk Hiyoko out of finding a nice cave to bed down in. Now that he could feel cold again, he could also remember how very much he disliked it, and he'd put his foot down in his own quietly stubborn way until she'd relented and agreed to split a room at the inn.

Of course that came with the problem of beds. It had been hard enough for him to really get used to sleeping bags, after all. He'd tried perching on the footboard of his twin bed but then of course his stupid new human feet couldn't grip and he'd nearly fallen facefirst onto the floor and broken something before Hiyoko caught him. She'd insisted on tucking him in (he was fairly sure the blankets were tight enough to cut off his breathing) and so here he was, trying to sleep and finding himself unable to even with the hand towel she'd put across his eyes.

"Miss Tousaka," he whispered. And then a little louder. "Miss Tousaka, are you asleep yet?"

Hiyoko had, in fact, been starting to drift off when Nageki's voice cut across the haze of sleepiness. She debated a moment just ignoring it and trying to drift off, but his voice came again, a little louder, and she knew it was probably a moot point.

What if it was something important that couldn't wait until morning? Maybe Nageki felt sick!

Hiyoko cracked an eye open and turned to face the other more, his features blurred to her sleep-filled eyes. "Yes. I'm asleep." Though obviously she isn't. She stifles a yawn and adds, "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Ah..." Hiyoko mumbled a noise of understanding, rubbing at her eyes with one fist. Slowly she sat up on her arms, squinting at Nageki through the dark. "A lot happened, so I understand that."

Hiyoko wracked her brain for a moment. "Mm! It was really hot so I went inside to see you. I thought you hated me or I was annoying you, but I told you all these stories about my class while you read a book. I didn't know if you were actually listening to me or not."

She laughed lightly, and watched the other for a moment or two. "Are you upset that you're here?"
