Visible relief came over the transformed mage as Menzai was quick to agree with her assessment. Though she didn't seem to be, she was putting on a bit of show about her relief for the rest, even Alina was only human. It had been close to 16 hours or even longer since they had set out for the flower delivery, and like most things she was rather particular about various aspects of her schedule. She wasn't a fan of the idea of throwing out her sleep cycle too much just for one little job like this, and her mind was growing weary as well. It would not do to slip up in front of Menzai now just because she was tired.

"I'll gladly take you up on that offer."[/color] As they came to a stop in a nearby clearing, Alina took a moment to stretch her arms up above her head. [color=9C2E37]"And it's fine Mr Isanami, if I earnestly needed a rest sooner I would've mentioned it. It had just slipped my mind that it was so late and the store would be closed was the bigger issue at hand, another hour or two of travel would've been fine. This form is reasonably fit."[/color] But even so, it was still human. It was surely noted that demi humans seemed to have a higher base stamina than humans though.

Now, while she was capable of sleeping while transformed, it was still a fair bit of a chore to do so. So while Menzai went about erecting his barrier she took the chance to transform back to her normal state, the clothes she was wearing now sagging off her much smaller and lighter frame as she reached back into her pouch to quickly procure a set of new, more suitable clothes. It was just a black skirt and red shirt, as it was more a matter of wanting to change while Menzai was busy so as to not have to ask him to turn around or the such later, but it would serve the purpose of serving as sleepwear at any rate. The matter of being cold was also not an issue.

While there had certainly been a chilly air about before, very easy to notice even before she was basically naked in it, it had seem to disappear as Menzai spoke up. Well, that explained what he had been up to at any rate. The barrier was pretty hard to miss and it didn't take anyone of any remotely respectable level of intelligence to concur that this was a result of what Menzai had been doing. So this was his magic then? Intriguing indeed. Curiously, she just couldn't help herself, she walked up to the edge of the clearing and cautiously tapped on the barrier. She was fascinated by the water-like rippling response it gave off, and it was quite obviously sturdy.

[color=9C2E37]"This is quite a useful magic indeed Mr Isanami."[/color] She mused aloud, stepping back as she let out a yawn. [color=9C2E37]"It's quite fine though, if anything I can sleep easier knowing our location is secured like this. It's quite reassuring."[/color] Between Menzai keeping watch and a barrier, one might be feeling quite certain of their safety indeed. At least of anything in this area at least. But even so, Alina wasn't one to let down her guard irregardless, even when asleep.

[color=9C2E37]"Don't be afraid to wake me up if you want a few hours of sleep before we get back into Crocus. We can head to the store first thing in the morning after that."[/color] Pulling and laying out a sleeping bag from within her pouch, she quickly got settled within before shortly thereafter seemingly nodding off to sleep.
