Timeline: During the time Edo & Ryou are researching Haou and such. This was sparked by an ask on my tumblr concerning bed sharing, so that will happen. No sex, however. But give me time and the bed will be shared.
Summary: Living of any kind requires effort, cleanliness, and food. Living in Dark World isn't any exception at all.
Edo allowed Ryou to carry his briefcase while he carried the duel disks: there were only about five or six of them and they didn't weigh all that much. They'd gathered them from the ruins of battlefields and villages. Whoever struck around here didn't seem interested in keeping them.
Getting to the nearest place that involved trading took most of the day. Edo noticed that Ryou's steps dragged as they drew closer to it and the first thought on his mind was to get a room somewhere. They could figure out what else to do once they'd both rested.
"I'm not tired," Ryou insisted, his head held up as high as he could manage it. Edo mentally rolled his eyes.
"Of course not. But it's getting late and I don't think anyone here will be ready to work until tomorrow." He nodded up towards the comet. "We'll wait for it to get brighter."
One of the first lessons they'd learned was that when the comet dimmed, it was approximately 'night' here. People closed up shops and rested, saving most of their work for the hours when the comet glowed more brightly.
Ryou nodded, though he didn't look entirely convinced. Edo just guided him towards the nearest inn, wondering who Ryou thought he was fooling.
The inn didn't look like anything he'd stayed in before but they could get food and a place to rest. They weren't going to need anything else from it. Except maybe some recommendations for card traders.
