It was one day later as the now-truly-united pair entered their targeted village, a nameless settlement on the very edge of the sea. Even from where they stood, the frosted, salty wind carried the scent of those waters. From what little what Rylee knew this village made most of its living from fishing, although not on a commercial scale being just enough to feed themselves. In fact very little commerce ran though this region due to its distance from any important trade nodes both domestic and foreign, and harsh roads that are also impassible for most of the year, of course they arrived at a time when conditions were favorable for travel. They had to be about an half an hour's walk out where the tallest buildings were visible, nothing impressive however just a stone tower located at the very center, the only stone structure actually. What was impressive was the image of an entire village sitting on top of a series of jagged cliffs, some houses appeared just be about to topple off the side and into the frothing waves far below.  

Rylee came to a stop, hoping Kiori would do the same they had to made sure their stories were in order. Her suggestion made during the last day of journeying was Kiori would say he was a hunter, made sense seeing as he has the tacking skills to back it up, despite their lack of a bow to fit the image she was confident others would still buy their story, hard times fell of everyone after all so it could be said he lost his. Now Rylee herself, said she should pretend to his wife, or some lover. Just saying they're friends would only bring on questioning, and to be siblings was out of the picture as they shared no familial resemblance. Now a man and his wife traveling together made sense, especially without a child. Over the last month a series of wildfires had ravaged the local area, burning down many homes in the process, using this to their advantage they could claim their old homestead had burned down, again no one would probably question much as the wildfires had to be well known. 

Hopefully with their roles in order Rylee spoke, "There it is, we should take a moment to rest before heading in, and it wouldn't hurt to go over our story again. Now... even if we're going to play the part of a couple, at least if we decide to go with my plan, don't push yourself to 'be a husband' my best advice is just to keep it natural, if needed I can handle tougher questions, sounds good?"
