Novak pondered the situation.  They mentioned they had made a deal with the Kyrnith, but had offered no details about it.  The likely explanation is that the agreement had been broken in some way, and the Kyrnith wasn't happy about it, but how was the deal broken?

Nobunaga had offered to negotiate with the beast.  Novak couldn't vouch for her negotiation abilities, but she certainly didn't seem like the type that'd make a claim without having the skills to back it up.  Either way, her reasoning was sound- if the town made a deal with the Kyrnith before, another deal could potentially be made it.

[i]Are they being evasive about it or do they not know?  No, if they were lying to us, they wouldn't have told us about the deal at all, they'd have painted Kyrnith as an aggressor without presenting the possibility that it might have been wronged,[/i] he reasoned.  Perhaps Misaki found something useful in those scrolls, and if not, they can always ask about it tomorrow.  For now, Novak decided to focus on their offer of giving the trio a place to stay for the night.  Between the cold weather and the angry fauna being spurred on by an elder beast, it was an offer they wouldn't want to refuse.

"That would be appreciated, yes," Novak replied.  "We currently don't have anywhere to stay, so we'd be very grateful for accommodations."

Just then Novak remembered something, softly touching his still slightly pained chest.  "Oh, and one more thing.  That creature we fought, it's metallic hide looked quite protective.  Could your town's craftsmen can make something useful out of it?"

It might have been a bit of a stretch, but if they were going to have to do any more fighting, it might be useful to look into obtaining some protective attire.
