Heirot

Soran looked at the coins skeptically. "I didn't earn this," he said firmly.

Mizuki sighed softly and left the room quietly. She figured it'd be better to let them work whatever it was out. Besides, them talking about the "mission" they had done together made her want to ask questions. She slipped outside to where Rai was.

"You, wanted to go swimming Rai?" she asked her.

Rai nodded and smiled, looking over at the water with interest. "I don't know how, so I want to learn!" she told Mizuki, what happened at the river that time with her so called uncle was a very good example of why she needed to learn.

"Well then," Mizuki said and adjusted Blade on her hip. "We need to put on the proper clothes for it. Under dressings should be good. Otherwise we'll be naked." Mizuki giggled and ushered Rai inside. "Let's go put those on and I'll grab towel's to cover us."

OOC: I think Im about right. That is basicaly what they wear swimming, before the time of bathing suits! =P

OOC: Yep, basically a slip with those funny pant looking things, lol

IC: Rai giggled and ran inside before Mizuki. "No! We don't want to go naked!" she said, laughing as she wondered up the steps.

Mizuki blinked and blushed at the thought of swimming naked. She giggled then ran in after Rai, Blade cooing and giggling as well. Mizuki followed Rai upstairs then got her into her room to change. While Rai was changing, Mizuki went to the closet and got some towels. She shook them out then went into the bathroom with her pack of clothes.

She hummed to herself while she changed.

Rai came out in what was more or less her undergarments for that time peroid. But, as she was a child there wasn't a single bit of emberassment on her face. In fact it was full of confidence for wanting to learn how to swim.

She ran down the stares and into the living room where she waited on Mizuki.

"Oh bah, you went in for the sword after I was out, you earned it fine," Jhaptal assured Soran. "I mean, you could have retreated instead of going in after the sword, but you didn't. You got the katana back for me, mission accomplished. So take it or I'll just give it to someone else in this house." Jhaptal was just as firm with his decision as Soran with his denial.

Mizuki came out in what her mother gave her as a dress slip. 'Just in case'... again. She wrapped a towel around herself and picked Blade back up into her arms.

"Here," she said and handed Rai a towel. "We might give Soran a heart attack if he see's us like this." she giggled.

Soran still didn't look at the coins. "Do you have a place to stay?" he asked.

Rai took the towel with a giggle and ran out the front door, only appearing to a be a blur really with how quickly she moved. Though, seeings how she was the only person that height in the house with that much energy, it could only lead to the fact it was her.

Jhaptal shrugged. "I have a hotel room to stay at, nothing much more than that," he said. "Why?"

Mizuki ran after Rai laughing. Blade cooed as they dashed outside. Mizuki looked around for a river or lake close by, she knew she had heard water last night when she went looking for Soran.

Soran regarded Jhaptal thoughtfully for a moment. "We were able to secure this house because of this, so consider yourself welcome here," he said, taking the coins and gesturing for Jhaptal to follow him out to where the others seemed to have discovered the reason he was so fond of the run-down house; it was build right on the bank of a river, with a large willow that hung down almost into the water.

Rai ran towards the water, laughing as she skidded and slid into the shallow part, the water coming up to her hips, but on Soran or Mizuki they would be lucky if it came to there knees. She splashed in the water, sitting down in it and whirling around in circles before coming to a stop, looking back at Mizuki and the others.
