He chuckled when she tried to speak with a full mouth, realizing she was just as zealous as Meeka, just in a much quieter and softer way.
“You're welcome, I don't mind sharing. And... I think it was a houndoom? There were two houndours and a houndoom that attacked, though I'm not sure which one destroyed the wagon.”
He had to admit to himself that he was rather glad it wasn't his wagon they attacked, though he felt bad for having the thought. Still, he'd of been useless if they had. Frowning for a moment, he wondered if he was actually a burden on this trip. Pushing aside the negative feelings, he shook his head for a moment.
“Well, at least no one was hurt.”

((Sorry I missed today D: My friend called unexpectedly and wanted me to come over to help her with something))
Bugga slipped into her pajamas, sitting upon her bed as she stared blankly upon the wall before her. As much as she wanted to sleep and hide herself under the covers, her mind was still alive and awake after sleeping all day in the wagon, even through the attacks. She drummed her fingers on her knee impatiently.
Taking in a breath, she got up and left the room, walking down the hallway and out of the inn.
"I need to get out," she muttered to herself, hands on her forehead.

She nodded sagely, "Yes, so long as no one is hurt, that is good! Well, except for the fact they need a new wagon I suppose. My friend would be jealous though--she loves Houndoom!"
Riza smiled widely and giggled at the though of her friend's face when she'd tell her this. Not that she actually saw the Houndoom, but still.
At any rate, she felt a lot better now that she had eaten something and had someone to talk to. Arashi wasn't a scary person like she though he'd might be, which was a HUGE relief.
"So, Arashi, are you going to go scout out hotels with everyone else...? Or at least, it seems like everyone else?"

He could feel his cheeks burning at her question. He knew it wasn't a personal thing in the slightest, but he reacted all the same. Maybe it was particularly shame at not really having that kind of money to throw around, or the realization that when he was sleeping out in the wagon, he was indeed sleeping with a bunch of other girls. Especially since he was the only guy on the sixth at all.
“Uh, no. I mean... I really don't... well, sleeping in the wagon hasn't seemed to bother me yet...”
He focused on the edge of the lantern's light, giving him something to look at.

Riza frowned, crossing her arms and looking at him with a scolding sort of glance, "I bet it doooeessss! Otherwise you wouldn't stutter!"
"Though I see why it wouldn't, it's really pretty out here! But then, it'd be nice to have a bed to sleep in, at least for ONE night, don't you think?"
She grinned, "Ok, I've made up my mind! We're going to go find a hotel place and I'll rent you out a room for the night! Two rooms shouldn't be too much--plus it'll be a thank you for the food and filling me in on....what happened when I was asleep...."
She laughed nervously, coughed, and attempted to regain her composure, "Grab the stuff you want to take--and I'm not taking no for an answer!"
She put her hands on her hips and tapped her foot, pretending to be impatient with him.

He turned to her, about to argue, but she really -did- look like no wasn't an answer.
“But, I mean, it's ok, and-”
And he knew he'd get nowhere fast. Plus, a shower and a warm bed? But still, even if it wasn't a lot to her, it still was a pretty good sum to spend on someone you just met. Maybe there could be a trade off? He wasn't really sure, it's not like he had a lot to offer. Though, he could probably pay for a real meal, that wouldn't be bad either.
He opened his mouth, prepared to make one last, half-hearted effort at resistance, but she was tapping her foot. He shook his head with a wry smile and tossed her the bag with the last rice ball in it.
“Well... if you really insist, then at least take the rice ball, and let me pay for breakfast or something? I'd feel guilty and miserable if you just did that for me and I couldn't return the favor somehow...”
He still felt pretty low now, but maybe that way they'd both be happy without having some sort of confrontation.

It was sort of an acrobatic feat, catching the last rice ball, at least the way Riza did it. Needless to say, she was a bit clubsy, and almost dropped it--did sort of a juggling act to keep it from hitting the ground. But she finally caught it, and her face broake into a smile, "Alrighty then! If you insist!"
She inhaled the thing in less than a minute, and was quickly onto the next matter of business, "So, do you know this area? I don't. Well, obviously. But we should probably go look for a place that isn't closed already. I mean, closed as in full rooms, not closed as in time..."
She paced forward, turned, then spun around to face Arashi, "Any ideas? Or shall we just wander until we find a place?"

 Bugga ran her fingers through her hair as she stood on her toes over an inconveniently drinking fountain. Pushing the button on the side, she watched as little drops of water sputtered out of the fountain head, but nothing more. Even the little amounts of water that dribbled down her throat tasted bitter and salty, which probably meant it hadn't been purified. Wiping her mouth with her sleeve and her tongue hanging half-out of her mouth, she turned and headed back for the inn, glad for her few moments of fresh air.
As she began, she heard trainers conversing behind her. She'd been expecting all of them to get to bed quickly, exhausted. Taking a breath, she spun around, waving her arm in the air. This was her chance to "socialize" or "get with the program." Her sleeping had gotten in the way of all that before.
"Hai thaar..." she sung out in cheerful yet fake voice towards Arashi and Riza, hoping she wasn't bothering them. If she was an annoyance, it was still dark and it was hard to make out the figures during the night, so maybe they wouldn't recognize her in the morning.

((Time skip cause omg 4:30 am, and I'm so, so sorry Coal Dx I'd grab you and include you in the rp if I had the stamina, but I'mma crash in a second here. I'll make it up to you, I swear D: ))
Flopping down face first on his bed, he sighed happily. Would you believe they had to wander all over town just to find a hotel that had two rooms available? Apparently there was enough trainers from the wagons booking them that it had taken quite awhile. He still felt rather horrible, and knew he'd have to make it up to Riza, but at the moment, all he could think about was how soft the pillow was.
Moments later, he was already fast asleep, even with his shoes still on.

(( And this is where the magikal 'whut happened in-between time skip?' comes in! 8D Rose ish ok with it, so we're good. ^n^I need to go to bed soon too though, so yeah. |D;; ))
Riza looked around for the source of the voice, and noticed what appeared to be a girl, "Oh hello there! We're just about to go look for a hotel, want to join us? I mean, we just met...sort of...and all, but it'd cut down on our costs if you wanted to room with me!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me! I'm Riza, this is Arashi, what's your name?"

(( It's okay :] I should sleep in a few minutes anyways. Sleep well ^^ I guess I should put Bugga to bed too xD ))Bug smiled, liking the idea of having a roommate. "I already rented a room earlier," she nodded her towards a building nearby. "It was really cheap though, but the inn is in okay quality. It's not terrible." she explained. "You can stay with me if you'd like."
After thinking about what she said, it didn't sound quite convincing.
"Hi Riza!" she greeted. "I'm Bugga, or Bug if you'd like."

(( Ohcool, that works. x3 ))
"Oh? If it's not too much trouble....that would be great! Then I can just rent a room for Arashi and we'd all be good to go!" Riza smiled, thrilled that she had met another trainer who wasn't scary.
"Nice to meet you Bug!" Riza's grin widened, "It's awesome to meet anther trainer!"
Without thinking, Riza went and gave Bug a tight hug. She was thrilled...and she was a bit tired because it was so late. She often got over-enthusiastic whenever she was tired, though she didn't actually notice.
She squinted upwards, "Look like it's getting later. I think maybe we should call it a night. Oh and Arashi was kind enough to offer us breakfast! Won't that be fun~?"

"It's no trouble at all," Bug nodded, pleased with the idea she wouldn't be sleeping alone in the dark tonight. Back at home, she always had a roommate, so it was getting depressing on the trip. "Room bud--"
Before she could even prepare herself, she was hugged. She didn't bother wiggling free, seeing as Riza seemed to be enjoying it. "Buddies." she grinned. "We're room buddies now."
"Breakfast? It sounds fun," the young girl agreed, stretching her arms behind her head. "I'm fine. I'm not really the sort of breakfast type." she grumbled. It appeared that the two had planned it out before she had arrived, so she decided not to get into their plans.
Rubbing her eyes, the idea of getting some shut-eye began to sound good.

{{ Oof, my typing just failed. xD; Edited for errors.... ))
"Room buddies! Yay!" Riza exclaimed, thrilled.
"Well, even if you don't eat anything, you can still hang out with us! It'll be great! Now...about sleep," she stopped and yawned, "Where's this place of yours again?"
She made a gesture as if to say 'lead the way'.
She liked Bug, but was really on a one-track mind sort of state. Tomorrow she'd feel much better and it'd be really nice to get to know her then, especially if she could convince her to at least go with them to breakfast.

"Over there," she smiled, pointing to a small two-story building as she marched towards it which only took a minute or two.
The room was on the first floor, which made it easier on her legs. Whipping a key out of her pocket, she inserted it into the lock and tampering with it before the door swung open.
"There you go," she held the door. "It's not some fancy hotel anything near that, but it's better than a sleeping bag."
