"Their food...? It's good stuff," Rei replied to Soma as he placed his headphones around his neck. She'd never even thought about money. The few times she'd shone up in the Ghost House, she'd simply worked for her days keep and left early the next morning or hunted something for them to fill out the food stores. She did guess it would be a bit easier to just pay if you had the cash... "It's a nice place. I might even see you there, Soma. Take Care, okay?" she finished with a smile as she turned to walk back to her tree to grab what meager belongs she had before heading to the Ghost house.

The salad was good, to everyone's surprise. "I guess we'll treat it as one of our special additions." The woman spoke, looking towards Ghost. Miyoko nodded, smiling as she looked towards everyone else. She made a motion that signaled to prepare to greet guests and set the trays for anyone coming in. After the commotion began, she approached Zorlo and offered him a key. Normally she locked the door and made sure that people knocked to enter the back door. However, Zorlo seemed like a person who wouldn't abuse the key.

The doors were just opening as Rei approached the house.

Zorlo looked at the key and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm not quite sure what this is... but thank you, miss. I shall work a few days and pay off whatever tab I've acquired. Sadly, hermits don't tend to carry worldly possessions... it interferes with certain aspects of enlightenment," the conjurer said as his armor turned into green lights as it vanished from his body. "So, I suppose my armor is unnecessary as well here. I'll need to return to my place of training to recover it, but I don't need it as of now," he said, mostly talking to himself. "But I'd much like to learn more of you, Miss Ghost, when it isn't so busy here. I hope you don't mind," the man said, smiling at her as he started work on another meal for the customers coming.

Rei simply hid for a moment as a stream of guests poured by on the paths. She didn't want to cause trouble for the people or start the almost inevitable fight that would happen, so she stayed hidden and watched. It only took a couple of minutes before the crowd was completely gone before she slipped up and inside. The man there didn't seem too bothered when she asked for a room and to ask if there was any work she could do to pay for a room for the night and to wash her clothing.

"I suppose." Miyoko's voice barely came out, helping to put out another tray as she saw Rei. Rei was a regular, coming in once in awhile for a room. She put down the tray and approached.

"Oh, Ghost." He smiled and looked towards her. "I guess I should let you lead miss Rei in?"

She nodded, looking at Rei. She knew how to talk with signals and implied meanings with certain people. She began a conversation that would eventually lead to telling Rei that she could do whatever she wanted to try and repay for the room and meals for a few days.

Zorlo looked out to see what the Ghost was doing and noticed that she seemed to be interacting with others, but couldn't help but be dragged back to cooking... because he was literally dragged back into the room. The green haired man sighed as he continued cooking and sighed. Something about the woman, Miyoko, had peaked his interest, and this person she had approached recently had caused him to take an interest as well.

Watching a 'conversation' between the nearly mute Miyoko and the normally quiet Rei was almost mind-boggling. Miyoko gestured and Rei would mostly gesture back in reply, only a word or two being used by the girl over the entire conversation. If Miyoko were to talk to herself, this may have been how it would be. A few days... Normally, she would stay that long, but for once, she was tired of that forest. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to do it. "Thank you..." She finally replied to her before turning back to the man. She started to gesture-speak to him as well before pausing. "...Sorry... I want to clean up a bit first before I start helping, so that I don't get dirt and such everywhere," she then said in her normally quiet voice.

"You know where the bathroom is, so feel free to clean up and change." He led the Rei to the bathroom and allowed her as much privacy as she needed. Miyoko made a gesture and he approached with another tray to serve a customer. While lunch was served, Miyoko constantly went between the kitchen and the serving area without really seeming to tire. She had gotten used to doing the work to maintain the house.

It was odd, he had to admit. As Zorlo watched the woman move back and forth to keep up with everything going on, she continued moving and seemed to not tire. He thought it was odd, but mostly ignored it. This Ghost was unlike most people, but she was also a powerful Arcana aside from that. The other person that entered... the raven-haired woman... her aura was completely different, though. Her spirit was like that of... well, he wasn't quite sure what, but he knew that air around her even seemed somewhat darker. It was odd.

It didn't take Rei too long to finish cleaning herself up and to change clothes. She made a quick detour to have her clothes washed before heading back into the kitchen. She was wearing a light, long-sleeved shirt and long, black skirt with tall, cleaned off boots. She paused only once to flip out her hair, the long, raven locks rippling and turning a dark crimson in color before she walked up. "I'll help with the trays," she said to no one in particular as she picked up one. But then, something else happened. Her long hair lengthened even farther to grab and actually lift two more trays as she carefully walked out to start delivering the trays three at a time to people.

Zorlo moved to look out of the room. A hand grabbed him, and the Hermit turned to the woman who stopped him and smiled. "Well, to be fair, I need not be here," Zorlo said as a portal appeared above him and a green monkey with white streaks in its fur appeared. Zorlo handed the monkey something and smiled as the monkey began to cook as he was before. "Now then, if you'll excuse me," the man said, slipping out of the room to look at this woman that had entered. That woman's hair had changed as she continued to begin working. "Well, that was interesting," Zorlo said as he drifted off to find Ghost, the other workers mildly distracted by the monkey cooking the same food Zorlo had just been making.

The night shift was the only time Ghost rested. After the dinner shift she would go to sleep with minimal cleaning. It was better to clean when actually appearing in front of people. She greeted the people that would take the night shift and wished a good night to the people who were going to rooms. She was about to go up the stairs, her mind thinking a bit about how she had spoke to someone for the first time in a long while. Speaking was something she considered taboo after everything that happened. She wondered vaguely if it had been wrong to give into the person's desire.

Zorlo stood behind the Ghost and smiled. "Hello again. I wish to continue our discussion if you don't mind. It isn't often I meet a somewhat kindred spirit, which you feel like to me. However, whatever you do is your decision," he told her with a smile as he walked towards the room she'd given him the key to. "So, ma'am, I shall take my leave of you for now," the man said as he crossed his arms and continued to walk along with a bright smile upon his face. Even if she didn't speak again, he'd be happy to enjoy a rest of his own for now. He'd help these people as best he can."

Rei delivered the last few trays and paused to rest as she watched the night shift begin taking over. The crowd was largely gone or otherwise, so they wouldn't really need her. Not that she would be much help in the kitchen anyway. But she she did return a number of trays to the kitchen for them before she noticed the monkey still making somethings. It had been a while, so she sat near the green monkey to watch as she ate some of the things it made. "...it's good..." she murmured to her herself as she nibbled on various things.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Miyoko made the connections go away, for just a moment. She had realized early on that it was easier not to focus on the red strings or she'd feel exhausted. Still, looking at Zorlo's connection made her mind feel blank and light headed. Where it went she couldn't tell at all. Going over to the bed, she shed her clothes and turned out the light source. She was certain about one thing. That one day she might disappear within all those red threads.

Zorlo sat in the room and remained quiet. She wasn't coming. The monkey had already told him that when it appeared in the room as well. The green-haired man held his hand out as another cup appeared and fell into the druid's hand. Setting the cup down, the green-haired man poured another cup of tea for the monkey as he sipped his own. "WEll, that's her business and I shan't bother her any longer if she doesn't wish to speak," the man said as he took a sip from his cup. The conjurer looked up and his eyes glanced around quietly. It seemed as if something in the outside world was going on, but the warrior wasn't sure what. He would simply need to be prepared.

Elsewhere, Rei too was finishing up a drink. The monkey had long since gone, so the kitchen was mostly quiet since the Monkey had also taken care of most of the breakfast prep for the night shift. So the woman that bore 'The Death' sat peacefully near a window as she finished her drink and watched the moon rise. "A full moon... Beautiful..." she murmured to her herself as drained the cup and washed it out. She sighed, her hair returning to it raven-black color, before walking out. She needed to get her clothing now that it was clean before she went up to the roof to relax for a bit longer.
