They were walking down the empty street. Neither spoke as both were
deep In thought.
Maria's light brown hair looked a deep orange as the sun faded.
She was wondering why Tydoll-san would want to go to the North headquarters.
If you had trouble with an akume you would usually send a letter. And if he lived close
by, surely he would know where the building was.
Her blue eyes took a glance at him. He had soft brown skin which brought out his big brown eyes. His hair was wild and black along with his black hoodie, decorated with a green flower picture on his chest. It was very strange she decided. Most people thought of a green flower as bad luck.
Why would he—
''Hey, are you all right?'' he interrupted. '' I know we just met but you've been pretty quiet.'' His voice was low but soft.
''Oh, I-I'm sorry Tydoll-san'' she stuttered. ''I just um uh…'' he faced her.
He noticed that she looked on edge.
''Tyson is fine.''
''huh'' she said caught by surprise.
''My name, I want you to call me Tyson.''
''Alright, Tyson-san'' she tested. "Just Tyson." He responded
''shouldn't we find a place to stay'' Tyson asked. He was right. The sun had set and it was now pitch-black outside. She nodded her head and they wandered through the city.
They came across an inn at the edge of town. It looked pretty old and was just about on its last leg.
Seeing as this was the only inn for miles, it would have to do.
They opened the door and saw that it was actually pretty nice inside. The lobby was clean and well decorated. To the left of them was the counter with a beautiful painting of a hoarse behind it. There was no one attending it.
"Excuse me." Tyson called. They both walked in and went to the counter. As if on cue, a young woman with a blond ponytail walked in from the backroom. "Yes, can I help you." said the woman. She was at least 24. The aura around her was tired and stressed but she wore a smile on her face anyway. "We would like a room please."
Maria was quiet. Tyson looked her way and saw that she was starting to nod off. Her deep blue eyes looking dazed and started to disappear behind her lashes. Cute he thought to himself. He stared at her awhile longer before noticing the young woman was still there, just watching them.
She suppressed a giggle and gave them one key. "I'm sorry, there is only one available room left." She said.
He took the key and thanked her. After he paid her, he slightly urged the tired finder to their room upstairs, forgetting all about his wallet that was left on the counter.
