Rika glances back over her shoulder at the frowning Oukou, her own expression changing a bit as she moves her jaw, appraising the other woman. She says nothing, though, and steps through the yellow-green grass of the yard to walk up the two steps and peer inside.
"It doesn't looks so ba-- Whoa!" Rika yelps, leaping to the side, the sudden motion knocking her monocle free and sending it falling forward to bounce at the end of the chain clipped to her collar.
Because, Oukou will see, a black dragon-cat just came barreling out of the interior towards the !!!!! PEOPLE 4laugh !!!!!
Rika may have escaped, but Oukou won't be so lucky~~~!

Oukou eye widen as the dragon cat came barreling at her. Taking a few steps backwards, she stumbles before smacking the ground as the dragon cat lands right in her lap. Anger fills her eyes as she looks at the dragon cat, wanting nothing more but to punt it clear across the yard.
Breathing hard, she continues to glare as the dragon cat just sit there. Tilting its head from one side to the other. Its cat brushing the fabric of her dress as it waits for her to pet him.
Looking up at Rika, Oukou shakes her head before she sighs "Please tell me he belongs to you...." sweatdrop

Rika shakes her head. "I didn't know there were so many in Gaia already..." she murmurs, peering at the cat. She seems rather friendly... She? He? Rika can't quite tell from over here. "Perhaps someone else lost her pet..."
She steps over to help Oukou up. "No injuries?" she asks, just a hint of concern in her normally blank face.

With the help of Rika, Oukou stands slowly with the dragon cat still in her other hand. Shaking her head, she glances down at the creature in her arms "No injuries." just a bruised pride from being tackled by a dragon cat. Looking back up, she arches a brow before looking around "Do you think we should find its owner?"
The dragon cat rest it head lightly against Oukou's soft fabric covering her chest. Seem that the dragon cat like Oukou company, and didn't really want to move at this point.

"I did not believe that dragon-cats are native to this world... If there is an owner, she is most likely a newly Porcelain, like you."
Rika re-enters the house, looking about for such a Porcelain, but finds none -- only dust and a few cobwebs. But the structure does not appear to be too badly damaged; perhaps the holes in the roof are damage from a recent storm or somesuch...
"I think it looks passable, but the repairs will take a while... What do you think, Oukou?"

Oukou once again frowns as she looks down at the dragon cat. This thing better find someone else to live with. She wasn't going to take care of it, even if he was a cute little dragon cat. Shaking her head, she sets the little creature down before she steps into the building after Rika.
Glancing around, she shrugs to herself before she moves her hands to her hips "I looks alright, I mean I could see this being a nice little shop. Maybe with the back room being a small living space." turning to look at Rika, for the first time she found herself smiling.
"I can see this space working. And I wouldn't have to share? I can be left alone?"

Rika raises an eyebrow, as if surprised by something Oukou said, but as she keeps her projections to herself, one cannot quite be sure.
"Indeed, you would be the only resident," she replies. "Though we would certainly like to see you at our house now and then for meals?"
She gazes up at the ceiling... there's an attic there, but, "Perhaps we should not go up the stairs until we are sure they are safe. I will put in the paperwork, then, and hire a crew to do the repairs...
"... In the meantime, where will you stay?" As if remembering Oukou's request to be left alone, she suggests, "There is a house across the street from ours that belongs to someone who is out of town; you could sleep there while the house is being prepared?"

Oukou doesn't say anything at first, she just continue to look the place over before she nods once more. "I guess that will do, thank you." looking down at the dragon cat, she found herself frowning again before she picks him up.
What was she going to do with him?
She would figure it out later, right now she just wanted to honestly be left by herself. Looking at Rika, she bows her head before she nods towards the door. She was hoping they could leave soon, as she still needed to sit down and process everything going on.

Rika nods as well and begins to head out. "If you need anything, you can find Setsushi or me in the udon-ya," she says.
... And, not having anything else to say and sensing that the other woman might not want to drag the conversation out any longer, she falls silent -- though she watches the dragon-cat as they go. If he is indeed a lost pet, he probably won't be able to survive on his own, but... ... ...
She still keeps all her thoughts to herself, mentally silent as always.

Nodding, Oukou sets the dragon cat down before she walks out of the building. Looking back towards the dragon cat, she frowns as she see it following her. Normally she wouldn't care about the creature, but being in a new land. She was sure something would happen to it.
Picking it up once more, she runs her fingers over its back before nodding to Rika "I will be sure to stop by once I am settled, I guess." bowing once more she walks ahead of Rika before she pauses. "Thank you Rika." without looking back, she makes her way up the path.
Her friends would be in shock, her saying thank you. This place was going to make her soft. sweatdrop

Rika gives a long nod, like a little bow, in reply; she walks slowly, letting Oukou outpace her even though they are traveling in the same direction.
... Hopefully this woman's personality won't drive away the Gaian customers... sweatdrop
