The surreptitious Esuna did its job, and the smith blinked in confusion for a moment at his vision and balance suddenly clearing up. After a few seconds, his mind cleared up enough to recognize that in this estate, anyone unfamiliar was likely a guest of the lord and refusing them would be a terrible, terrible idea. Suitably sobered up, he scrambled to take Galahad's armor in, swearing that repairs would be finished as soon as possible, as well as any other equipment the Kirins cared to have fixed up. 

For her part, Izayoi just sighed, giving Miina an appreciative pat on the (good) shoulder before turning back the way they came. 

[color=#736AFF][b]"Well, come then. We can only hope the others have finished with their meeting by now. With any fortune, we'll not have to stay any longer than another night."[/b][/color]

[color=#736AFF][b]"A full day?"[/b][/color] Izayoi murmured incredulously once the Skaelers had returned to the group and Esben relayed the gist of what had been discussed. [color=#736AFF][b]"We're to tarry here for twice the amount I'd hoped for, then."[/b][/color] Her face scrunched, as if she'd just bitten into something particularly sour. 

[color=#736AFF][b]"How unfortunate, though I can understand why he would have thought that, looking at the lot of us as we are."[/b][/color] She sighed, shaking her head. [color=#736AFF][b]"Very well. As I understand it, several of us could use the extra materiel he's promising, regardless."[/b][/color] She looked towards Rudolf and Chisato in particular.

[color=#736AFF][b]"Don't think I'd not noticed your lack of materia in recent days, boy. And you,"[/b][/color] Her head inclined towards Chisato. [color=#736AFF][b]"-could make use of armament outside of blades and bombs, whether it be from materia or weaponry. Regardless, I would hazard to say we could all do with additional equipment, so long as it's being handed out. Two nights, then."[/b][/color]
