Fol did wondered just how long is he going to be followed by the young pup. He was aware of her presence as his ears twitched and turned back every time the knight hears her foot steps. The spiritus didn't like being followed with eyes burrowing on his back but then again he's used to it for the longest ever. A spiritus in the rank of Cerberus Knights is something so rare to see. Constantly seen. Constantly being talked about from the corners of his wolfish eyes. Such things infuriates the man so much that it made his dark blood boils through his veins and the urge to rip their jugulars out by only with his teeth. But he can't and has to be tamed to gain their trust as well as keeping the Blackhearts at bay too. The chains wrapped around his body is a constant reminder of the fact as well and it makes him sighs deeply. Already he feels exhausted for the day and slowly becoming hungry. But where could he find someone to feed . . .
Soon, they have arrived to a small town which was along they. His stoic eyes glanced around his surroundings in seeing the townspeople It was to be given since it's highly unlikely that they ever seen the likes of them before in their lives. Then finally he was joined with Akemi who quickly rushed up to his side and questioned of finding rooms. "Well, it's about time you finally join up with me pup." He smirked at the woman before looking up to the building that was just at their side and decided to enter and see if there are any available rooms.
Upon inside of the inn, it was quite a commotion that is occurring. The locals were enjoying the company of food and alcohol as the scent perfumed the air. If someone was not an avid drinker they might get buzzed just by breathing. He stood off to one side to let Akemi in first before he did, bowing his head down just to walk inside and not bump his head along the way. There, they were greeting by a woman who was the innkeeper of the building. "Good evening, how may I help you two?" She said as she looked up to Fol, staring a moment at his wolf ears for she never seen anyone who has them and then to Akemi. But that was only for a brief moment for she grew embarrassed in seeing her attire or the lack of one really. "We need two rooms just for the night." He said and the woman looked through the books to see for available rooms for them only to frown. "I'm sorry sir but there's only one room available with only a bed. We're almost full . . ." That poses a problem seeing his dark brows knit together and he looked down at Akemi. "Let's leave to find another inn then." It would be a . . . difficult night if it's just them in one room.

"Hold."
Akemi raised a hand to stop Fol from going anywhere. She was not one to give up so easily and would not walk away from the chance of a feathered bed for something as small as space. The wolf girl leaned over the counter, looking down at the books with curious eyes, it was a double room. She began to smirk somewhat deviously.
"Is there any other inn's in this town?"
She asked in a rather authoritative voice, she was not messing around and expected short and precise replies from the inn-maiden.
"N-no."
The woman shook her head, her voice crackling slightly out of shock. The red-head slammed her hands down on the table and a gesture made her jump. If nothing else, nobody could accuse Akemi of not being direct in order to receive a desired outcome. Suddenly, all eyes were on them and the room was silent, not that she had noticed.
"Does this room have a bathtub?"
The wolf girl jumped forward, resting her feet on the desk and leaning over, her face inches away from the woman's. Her one red eye glowed a brighter shade, so much so it framed the maidens features, illuminating them in a somewhat sinister light.
"A... b-bath? Yes."
...
"And Breakfast. Does it come with Breakfast?"
The woman nodded, then stood back a little.
"We will take it. We are not going to find a better deal tonight."
Akemi nodded her head and snatched the keys out of the woman's hand. Half a bed, warm water and the promise of food, she could not ask for anything else. She looked up at Fol and nodded, giving his arm a rather friendly punch... then she shook her wrist because she had momentarily forgot he was wearing steal, her knuckles burned, paying the consequences for her brainfart immediately...
"You give up too easily."
She stated, before heading towards the stairs so she could indulge in that long waited bath. Looking behind to make sure she was being followed, afterall, she had no money on her.
But she would keep that one to herself for now.

Just as he was about to turn and leave the inn, he stopped in his pace as he saw the hand being raised from Akemi. And he merely watched as she interrogated the woman to almost death about the room seeing that it's the only inn in the town as well as seeing if it has other things that she needs such as a bath tub and food. Apparently she doesn't give a damn that they're going to share a bed as the last room was booked now and the man sighed. Fol knows that she's going to be pushed off the bed in the first few minutes. Either that or he might just sleep on the floor as he'll request for some extra blankets to sleep.
He laughed slightly in seeing the attempt of a friendly punch on his arm but all he heard is the sound of metal echoing. It was a really smart of her to do something like that as she said of how he gave up so easily. "You should think first before your actions." Fol said as he paid for the room and food for them then ask for her pay seeing that she has snatched the keys and left to find their room. The spiritus then followed her to search for their room and in the meantime, he slipped off his armored gauntlets to reveal his powerful hands and his long, sharp nails from underneath. "So what are you going to do now? Bath or food. Or will you be trying to do both?" He guessed a balancing act between the two as they stopped before the door.

"What would be the fun in that?"
She shook her head, coming to the door at the end of the corridor. She smiled and slipped the key into the lock... and they were in. She smirked and then stepped through, her eyes scanning the reasonably sized room. It was cosy and had that old fashioned feel designed to make people feel at home. There was even a fireplace.
"This is a bed and breakfast genius, I do not get to eat till morning. So don't get my hopes up!"
She scolded him, resting a hand on her hip whilst the other undid the cloak and threw it over the bed rather casually. After a moment she ran into the smaller room attached and smiled wickedly at the bath, it was everything she had dreamed of. Akemi excitedly grabbed one of the robes that hung from the door and threw it over herself, it was warm and freshly cleaned, what a divine smell!
"These robes are so cute! and the tub is huge! I love this place!"
She turned on the hot water tap and then ran out the room, giving a small spin before flopping back on the bed hard enough to feel herself bounce. The bed was comfortable too...
"You should take all that armor off. You look like an tin-man."
She stated, rolling over on her front and kicking her legs playfully behind her. She rested a hand under her chin and stuck out her tongue, then looked back to the other robe hanging from the door, bigger than hers, but not big enough she expected.
"Then again, I do not think it's going to fit. Hmmmmm."

Now that made him hum softly in thought about it as he followed the young pup to to their room in the inn. "You're right actually, it is fun seeing you hurting yourself from that." Well she didn't say what kind of fun that it must be and he certainly did find that to be so much fun. Upon seeing the room, Fol was surprised on how nice it really was. The comforts of the old fashioned wood furniture and the plush bedding as well as a fireplace in the room. Perhaps he may lit the fire later on just to shed the cold of the night before they go to bed. He won't have the bed for his warmth seeing the size of it and comparing it to himself as he walked up to the small table and chair that was to the side of it and placed his gauntlets on it.
He chuckled at the scolding he got from the petite pup about food and the wolf spiritus merely smiled at her. "Really? And here I thought you might do some more hunting to get something to eat and drag it off to the bathroom." It was amazing to see how much he has relaxed around her as he smirked, smiling, and annoying her so much just to see her reaction as it really was funny to him. He went to grab his fur cape that was tossed to the bed and set it over the chair. Apparently Akemi is very easy to pleased as he heard just how she likes the robes and the big tub just before she flopped over to the bed wearing one of the robes.. In hearing about the tub now, it made him think that he should also take a bath as well even though he didn't break a sweat from the lack of training. "What do you think I'm doing then?" The arm pieces were off as the sleeves of the thin linen shirt that separates his skin from the armor. The chest piece was slipped off and the rest of his armor leggings as he's being careful of his tail. The last thing he need is his tail to be stuck between the metal pieces and the poor wolf will howl in complete pain.
Fol was now wearing clothes from under his armor. His fitted dark blue pants that hugs his muscular legs, his linen shirt that he had actually taken off to reveal more of his body and the scars and slashes that has littered his skin in history, and the enchanted chain that floats and wrapped around his neck and down his arms. Hearing about something that won't fit from Akemi, his eyes looked over to see the other robe that was hanging. He tilts his head slightly and walked up to see about the robe; his tail swishing slightly. Grabbing the robe, he stared at it a little closer and merely growled slightly under his breath as he saw that it won't fit him and toss it to the ground. "So are you going to take your bath now or am I going to snatch it first?" The wolf is right there seeing the water running as he moves over to close the valve up before the water filled out.

"Everyone knows wine is the only thing to consume in the bath."
Akemi shorted, like it was a commonly known fact that only idiots would be unaware of. The wolf girl flicked her hair and sunk deeper into the bed, it was not until now she realized how sleepy she was, maybe she would skip the bath all together.
She opened her good eye, watching the man undress with odd curiosity, remaining silent. She realized, besides the men in her pack, the ones who shared her blood, she had never seen one undressed before. It was such an odd thing to come to mind, and she did not understand why it should be any different, but it was... somehow. To her every man had scars, only the settlement maidens bore none. The wolf girl sighed and closed her eyes, resting her head on the blanket. So complicated.
Then she heard it, the threat of loosing her bath. The one she had waited so long for! No. She would not stand for this!
"NO!"
She rushed past him, knocking him out the way as she did and almost slipping on the robe he had disregarded. She threw off her own and when she was falling into the water the bones she wore faded into shadow. Then she hit the water, creating a splash. Akemi emerged, holding her legs to her chest to keep herself hidden. Her mask was gone and her ears flattened against the rest of her hair... Underneath it turned out she looked like every other girl, very ordinary with red hair two different eyes. No tail, no ears, no scars, no adornments. Just her.
"Haaaaaa-hothothothothothot."
She complained.
"My bath.... Now go get me that bottle of wine on the table. This is not relaxing at all."
She sunk back slightly, just enough for her to blow bubbles in frustration.

Fol rolled his eyes from the young pup; not wanting to argue about this anymore for it was now getting very silly. He was getting a bit silly as the wolf spiritus was going along with it and sighed deeply in response. The knight was laughing and teasing Akemi and it felt so unnatural to do something like this and so he figured he should stop all of this nonsense for there is no reason at all in the end. It never bothered him that he was undressing in front of a stranger; and a woman at that fact. He can sense those oddly colored eyes scanning every inch of him when he removed his armor off. Perhaps he’s just very use to being in his own skin that it never crossed his mind. Either that or it’s because the stupid little pup is half naked the moment they met and she seemed to don’t care at all.
Although, he does have to admit, when Fol threaten her about the bath tub it was highly amusing to see her moving so fast as she scrambles across the room. She had almost tripped on the robe that he had tossed on the floor and pushed him out of the way. The man chuckled darkly at such humor as he glanced away when he was splashed by the hot water when she jumped right in. And the chuckling grew louder the moment that she complained about the hot water. She is such a stupid pup. He opened his eyes to look at the naked water logged woman, only to be slightly surprised. She looked . . . normal. And to think he called her some weird forest monkey too being covered in boar blood. He has to admit, Akemi looks rather lovely.
Hearing the demand of getting her the wine made him growl in anger as he’s being demanded around constantly. “Well it’s your fault to fill the tub in scolding hot water . . .” He said as he turned around to leave the bathroom to retrieve the bottle of wine that was at the table where he set his armor down. He grabbed it and made his way back in and simply handed it to her. “Don’t stay in there too long. If you pass out from the heat I won’t save your stupid a**.” His cold, stoic expression returned seeing how glacial his eyes are; staring down at the woman just before he left. Fol had left the bathroom and closed the door to give her some privacy and went to lie down on the bed on his back. His feet hanged off at the edge of the bed but the spiritus didn’t mind at all. He was tired after everything today as it practically drained him. It made him realize that he is feeling a little hungry and so he conserved his energy as he closed his eyes to nap for a little bit.

"Whatever."
Akemi wafted her hand and snatched away the bottle, keeping still until she heard the door shut. The next ten minuets were spend lathering her body in vanilla scents and drinking the complimentary wine. She even found some coconut shampoo for her hair, it was all simply to die for! She could not remember smelling this good or feeling this relaxed, not ever! This was awesome, still... her head started spinning, ever so slightly. What was this sensation?
"I feel A M A Z I N G! <3"
The woman declared this fact to the universe. She emerged from the bath and shook her body like a feral dog would, her hair loosing just enough moisture to make her ears stick up on end once again. The wolf girl threw on her robe and spun around, looking at her complexion in the mirror. Her skin, it was glowing!
"My skin feels so soft and clean. Oh, how a bath can improve your mood. It is a shame I am going to get all dirty tomorrow as my quest continues, my heart bleeds. Hmmmm."
With a flick of her hand, her mask reappeared on her face. Then, the bathroom door flung open.
"DONE."
She stated, flicking her hair and winking at the man she was sharing a room with on this wonderful night!
"The bathroom is yours. Though, I the bath is way to small for you. I only fit in it comfortably! Being so tall must be a pain in the backside."
She raised a hand to her chin and pouted, folding her other one around her waist. She then snapped her fingers! It was light a bulb sparked in her mind!
"But! Lucky for you there is an alternative! When I was a child I was washed ritualistically with a pan and heated water. Allow me to wash you in the way of my ancestors! It shall help strengthen our bond! I hear warriors used to take part in such activities as a mark of respect and manliness. Let's do manly things in a manly way!"
She punched her fist into her other palm, dead serious. Then she stepped back into the bathroom, kicked his robe out into the main room, and pointed down to the empty space infront of her.
"Sit."

Sometimes he wonders, what was the point to even try to nap? He can hear the loud woman just beyond the door of how much she enjoys the bath. Fol doesn’t understand though of how come she can enjoy it in pure silence. It made the spiritus wolf growl slightly in anger as his ears were pressed down against his head to block more of those sounds. Maybe giving her that bottle of wine was a really bad idea to give to her. All he wanted was is for her to shut up. Apparently he can get what he wanted as he’s stuck with Akemi. And now the knight is forever regretting of ever talking to her and should just let the crazy woman be by herself and her bloody boar. Damn it . . .
The door was suddenly flung open and was greatly surprised by her sudden announcement that her bath was done. He was so surprised that even his tail has basically poof up. “And everyone here has heard that you’re done . . .” Fol sneered at her as he sat up and smoothed out his tail with hand. It was true though; the bath is going to be a bit painful as he remembered the size of the tub from earlier. His back is going to be in knots as he tries to bathe himself as he sat up from the bed to head over to the bathroom. However, he was stopped suddenly when he saw the ‘idea’ flickering in her eyes which must mean trouble for him. His icy eyes widen slowly as he listened about how her family and ancestors bathe themselves . . . and to each other which was completely odd to him. Why would they do that? It was bizarre to him but he won’t question her, nor will he ever, as he walked up to get the robe that was kicked away by her. “Thank you, but no. I don’t need your help at all. So just go to bed you drunken pup.” His eyes narrowed down to her as walked by her to the bathroom; his tail whipping at her arse along the way and shuts the door. His baths are meant to be taken alone for it is his quiet time away from his stress. But he has to admit, sadly, the way she explained of how they bathed was the only solution due to his height as he stripped the rest of his clothes and sat down . . .

*small time-skip, happenings saved and placed in a safe place*Akemi was the first to exit the bathroom, her hair almost dry and her neck throbbing with light pain. His teeth had broke her skin, ripped into her flesh. She knew dog's did not leave the cleanest wounds, their teeth were meant to tare things apart and lock into position so their victims could not escape. The girl stoked the new wound that had now stopped bleeding, it would be fine in the morning.
The red head made her way over to the bed before she lazily sprawled across it like a starfish, she closed her eyes, trying to relax and let go of all the feelings the Spiritus had caused, it seemed like she had a lot to think about. Eating hearts was only the beginning, she knew there were many things she was yet to know about these monsters, things that she would not dive into tonight. Fol was being uncooperative and his playful mood seemed to have disappeared to leave behind something more serious. His mood seemed to change on a dime, his tolerance for her included. Now was not a good time to push her curiosities - or her advances.
After a moment she turned over, taking the covers with her so she was wrapped up in a small ball, head resting lazily on the feathered pillow. A real bed, it felt heavenly.
"HEY! Where are you sleeping tonight, I am getting tired."
The wolf girl did not really mind, she loved sharing her bed, lapping in the body warmth of another - However, after what had just happened she would understand if he felt reluctant to be around her, being so close and all.
