Ariiko chuckled, closing her eyes and taking Noriakis hand into hers. She gingerly pushed the womans pale hair behind her ear, all the while cupping her cheek in her hand. "Yes... Let us turn in for the night."She knew for a fact that the rambunctious noises of the night did not belong to drunken patrons, but indeed to spirits. The dis-ease of Ida made it clear what was happening, but she wanted nothing more than to focus on Noriaki at the moment.

How wonderful, this woman was, this muse she had found. Truly, with every new conversation, with every new gesture it became more apparent that this woman had to have been sent from a higher power. What other explanation could there be, especially now that she was of similar mind? At the brush of her hair...the cupping of her cheek, Noriaki blushed sweetly and pressed her cheek into the open palm. Her own eyes narrowed and a warm smile crawled its way across her lips. 

"Then come, my muse. Let us retire once more to the inn. To my...to our room. Let us cast aside this eve and welcome the new dawn together." Noriaki lightly squeezed Ariiko's hand and set off towards the inn, hand-in-hand with her muse, fully ignoring the sounds of chaos blowing into her ear on the wind.
