Yoh pocketed the money, then after a while, left into a different section of the Dojo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After a while, Yoh came back only to see the two standing about. Standing at the doorway, he watched calmly.

SWIFT: "Understand your suspicion, I can. Most on the surface have not seen my kind before, unless to the darkness you have been. However, you need not feel so. I only am trying to leave as I can see I am not welcome in this place...this is always so..."
She does not take her eyes off of the tall man, but she notices out of the corner of her eye that the boy has just arrived, standing in a nearby doorway apparently watching the two of them. She tries to decide if it would be safe to disarm as a gesture of peace, or if they would attack her anyway, like so many have done before...
As she stares at the white haired man, he stares right back at her, and she begins to feel that he knows her intent and is trying to reassure her that disarming will be safe....and probably wise....
SWIFT: "Watch..."
She slowly puts her left hand in the air, and, even more slowly, moves her right hand down to unfasten her weapon belt. She holds it out in front of her, nods, and carefully sets it on the floor in front of her. She backs away from her weapons and stands with her hands held away from her...
SWIFT: "I came to this place not for trouble, but for a meal and a bed...that is all."

RYUUSEI: "We have extra beds in the back. You're welcome to stay here, but I expect your weapons to be left here with me. I'll put them in a safe place."
Ryuusei leans the Koji-Ken against the wall beside the Harusame, and goes to retrieve Swift's weapons.
RYUUSEI: "I'll return them to you at daybreak."

SWIFT: "Grateful I am for this... My name is Draemeth of the House of Cha'omic, third house of the Drow city, Shez'Baernon. I am commonly called Swift, but you may call me what you wish. What may I call you?"
He tells her his name, Ryuusei Amidamaru.
SWIFT: "With your permission, I would like very much to sleep now...I have a headache from that drink..."
He takes her to the back where all the beds are and bids her good night...

Yoh: 'Drow, huh? Interesting...'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Without a word, the boy made his way out into the back area of the dojo. There, he laid down under the biggest tree. Tucking his hands behind his head, he closed his eyes. Listening to the thoughts of birds and watching the flow of wind.... He brought his left hand up above his face, and looked at it. The spirit of the dragon that engraved the mark upon his palm was still out there somewhere... With some luck, he could find it. With that note, he closed his eyes and listened to the things going on around him...

Daybreak. Morning had come quickly for those who slept well during the night, but for Ryuusei it krept in slowly, as his uneasiness kept him very aware and suspisious of his surroundings.
RYUUSEI: 'If that girl were to get out then trouble might start with the villagers. Her appearance differs from theirs greatly. Even I was hard for them to accept for awhile.... She might be too much of an adjustment.... No, it'll be fine. I need to rela---- oh? Morning is finally here I see.'
Ryuusei stands and retrieves the girl's weapons. He goes to the back and wakes the girl by tossing her weapons on to the bed.
RYUUSEI: "As per my word, your weapons at daybreak."
Ryuusei turns and walks out of the back room, and heads back to the main hall.

Waking up, Yoh worked his way out of bed. Yawning, he made his way out back and sat down under the same tree as before. Stretching, he let the warmth of the sun spread across his body. There wasn't any wind, but a small sheet of frost covered the grass. He held his palm upwards. He quietly muttered...
Yoh: "Disingr."
A small fire floated above his palm. Smiling, he brought it closer to himself. It's warmth was pleasant.

A shadow comes over Yoh.
AMIDAMARU: "Stop fooling around. You need to go set the table. I'll be preparing breakfast soon. We're having fried rice, miso, and natto. Meanwhile I've prepared some onigiri with omeboshi in the center. After you set the table, you may help yourself to them."
Amidamaru walks back into the dojo, and heads to the kitchen area. (The Dojo in Ryouko has a kitchen area because of it's large size. It's quite suitable for over-night students.)

Swift was startled by the sudden pile of weapons being thrown onto the bed beside her. She was, after all, having the best night of sleep she'd had in months. After he walked out, she strapped on her weapons and walked out into the same room from the night before.
She decided that she'd rather find the man and thank him once more before she left. She eventually found herself in a dining room. The boy, with whom she was not properly acquainted, was beginning to set the table.
SWIFT: "I am Draemeth Cha'omic. Swift, some call me. What are you called?"
He tells her his name is Yoh.
SWIFT: "Well, master Yoh, If I help you set the table, may I dine with you?"

Yoh: "Master Yoh? Wha'?"
Scratching the back of his head, he set down the rest of the bowls, plates, etc.
Yoh: "I'd rather you just call me Yoh... and no need to help."

SWIFT: "Where I come from, it is only a sign of respect, after all, shown me great kindness you have. You and the tall one called Ryuusei. Please let me help, it is the least I can do... Is the tall one your master?"
Standing there waiting for a response, Swift hoped she had not offended the boy by referring to him as "master".
SWIFT: 'These two have shown me more kindness than I have seen in months...'

Yoh: "Yeh, basically. Well, no need to help it's already ben done."
Smiling pleasantly, he sat down at the table.

SWIFT: 'She decides to not be rude and invite herself to breakfast, despite the destinct hunger tweak in her stomach...'
SWIFT: "Where's your master, Ryuusei?"

SWIFT: "Oh..thank you. So hungry I am. My stomach is about to eat the rest of me!"
She sits down at the table, thankful to get a fresh meal that she didn't have to hunt and kill. There have been a few times when she was not kicked out of a tavern or inn, and the innkeeper was kind enough to let her buy food. But never, in all her years spent on the surface, had she been invited to sit and dine with someone in their home.
As she sat there thinking on this, tears silently crept down her beautiful face, and she hoped that the boy would not notice.
