Two heads were—- Wait, no. Three heads! Three heads were way better than one. This seemed like a good idea to him; He had already met more people with his interest here in a day than he had back home in his entire life. If that wasn’t a good sign? He didn’t know what was! As she motioned for him to follow, he enthusiastically grabbed his luggage and carried onward with her; Moe climbing atop his head to rest peacefully on TOP of his hair this time. Much less irritating, and thus much less aggressive squirrel. Thank goodness. Moving along the dirt trail, it was something a bit unusual for Ludwig himself, though he did enjoy it. The air was as fresh as he thought it’d be, and in general the more nature-bound surroundings of Gravity Falls were an appeal he wanted to experience. He kept a step behind Amelia but didn’t lose that pace; He noticed she seemed to be writing something, and was curious to read it as she showed it to him. [color=a36209]”You seem like a good judge of character, Amelia. I bet the guy is great.”[/color] He replied, following further. Though, as they looked up to the left, across the street… Why did it look like a horror palace? The place had an uneasy aesthetic and Ludwig personally did not like it. He was somewhat shaking in his shoes, not appreciating the sight of the building in front of him. As they crossed the street, he saw the sign; Innkeep Inn. Ah, yes. A very thoughtful name, eh? But he really shouldn’t be judging. Instead, he was more worried about the creaking gate that was a bit unnerving. He followed Amelia into the dark rainy aesthetic of the surrounding area of the Inn, with Moe creeping down onto Ludwig’s shoulder to hide beside his head. The steps didn’t help either. Creeeeak,. Creak. Fantastic. His nerves were shot by the time Amelia opened the door, causing a noise loud enough for the owner to come up to the front. He would’ve just spoken to him normally, but as Amelia hopped to the side, he froze in place while being presented like he was some sort of prize on a gameshow. A slight blush crossed his face. [color=gray]”That a rat on yer’ head?”[/color] Ein asked, tone casual. Ludwig blinked. [color=a36209]”Rat…? N-No, it’s a squrriel.”[/color] [color=gray]”Good,”[/color] Ein replied, sitting in his chair. [color=gray]”Thought I was about to hafta’ beartrap the door.”[/color] [color=a36209]”B-Beartraps?”[/color] Ludwig questioned, eyes widening. [color=gray]”That’s right. Bear-sized traps for bear-sized rats.”[/color] His tone was serious, but still a bit out there. Ludwig stared at him in a mixture of disbelief and fear, until the man roared with a short spout of laughter that startled his poor soul. [color=gray]”Hah! Y’think I’m serious? Ya go believin’ everything ya hear and ya might need’ta run home before tomorrow!”[/color] Ludwig sighed in relief, momentarily he had believed everything Ein was saying. Though, that did make him think… [color=a36209]”Rodents of unusual size are a thing. You’re saying they appear in this building?”[/color] [color=gray]”Amelia, did you find a curious one?”[/color] He questioned, looking around Ludwig to eye her for a moment. She could be trouble, but she was usually a sweet girl. Just needed to stay out of the woods. Though his horror stories only ever got her more anxious. The bear-sized rats were probably going to do the same. [color=gray]”’Preciate you bringing me the business.”[/color] He added, offering her a half-smile before glaring back at Ludwig. [color=gray]”So what’chu want? A room, I get. But ya gotta help me visualize.”[/color] Ludwig tilted his head, unsure of what he meant. [color=a36209]”Uh… Just a room? Cozy is preferable I guess? Don’t need it to be too big.”[/color] The glaring continue for a moment, before Ein rolled his single remaining eye. [color=gray]”Simple spectacle-wearin’ guy, aint’cha?”[/color] Ein shrugged it off, though. No matter. Without hesitating he spun the register around on his desk and faced it towards Ludwig. He raised a fist and slammed it down on top of register, causing it to pop open. A small sign popped out, showing a certain amount of money and an empty register drawer to deposit it into. The price made Ludwig cringe, but he didn’t have many choices. He sat down a bag long enough to pull some of the cash otu of his wallet, shoving it into the register. By the time he picked his bag back up, it had closed shut and Ein had turned it around. A key flew through the air; Catching Ludwig by surprise. Thankfully, Moe was being her helpful companion self and caught the key. [color=gray]”Notta’ bad circus animal.”[/color] Ein commented, with a scoff. [color=gray]”Room Wun-Oh-Wun. S’yours.”[/color] Ignoring that his squirrel was compared to a circus animal, Ludwig turned to Amelia before gesturing his head towards the rooms. [color=a36209]”Wanna check it out? I’ve got to set down these bags.”[/color] He spoke his offer, before continuing over towards the hallway of rooms. Eyes finding themselves locked with 101: His hands were still full, so the only solution he had [sub](aside from setting his bags down like a reasonable person)[/sub] Was to extend his arm and allow Moe to climb down and unlock it. She was even polite enough to press down on the handle so Ludwig could nudge the door open with his foot. As he entered, the interior was simple, but nicer than expected. It had a bed, a small desk, a fireplace, and some shelves for his belongings. He definitely wasn’t going to complain as it had already went above his expectations. He plopped his bags on the floor, noting the smoothness of the wood in the room compared to outside. Aside from where a rug was laid out not far from the fireplace; Couldn’t judge the floor under there. Still a nice touch though. [color=a36209]”Wow…! This place is great!!”[/color] He announced his judgment of the room, simply glancing about at things and getting a feel for it. Meanwhile Moe jumped from Ludwig onto the floor, eying the fireplace with a mixture of curiosity and a necessity for warmth. Both were, admittedly, a little distracted. He had only intended to drop off his bags, but now he found himself just wandering around the place.
