She looked over, watching Pakuna walk up to where the band should be a pick up a harp. She smiled slightly when he began playing.

[i]Good... We all need something like that to keep the mood calm.[/i] 

She looked down at her hand, rubbing them together nervously. She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to get herself to calm down, both her anger and her fear. Somehow she didn't think it'd be very productive right now to worry about such things. 

[i]Just... take it one day at a time. Pretend it's just like regular life and that you're okay. This is a basketball game, a kendo match. You have to show them you can do it. I'm not some weak female.[/i]

She sighed and turned to look at Donovan who was now talking to himself. She smiled and chuckled at him as the line went down. Soon, they'd be at the front. 

[b]"I believe we can."[/b] She told him, sending him a determined look in her eyes, showing him that she shared his determination, though not for the same reasons. She didn't want to be there for others, she wanted to be there for herself. She was doing this for herself, she always had been. Having friends to protect was a bonus, one she thought she could handle. 

She turned to see they were at the front of the line. [b]"Uhm, we have a reservation?"[/b] She told the NPC. It tilted it's head at her.

[b]"A reservation? What's the name?"[/b] the female NPC asked, pulling up a menu.

[b]"R-Rika."[/b] Rika replied, her heart beat growing.

[b]"Ah! It's right here. Here are you keys!"[/b] She told Rika, her smile bright. Rika nodded and took the keys, motioning for Donovan and Pakuna to follow her to the hallway. When they were both there, she handed them their keys. 

[b]"We're in room number 5, here are your keys."[/b] She told them.

[i]God, I hope she got us a bedroom with three beds or something....[/i]

Rika walked over to the room and used the key to open the door, walking inside. As she entered, she looked around. It wasn't much but it would do. The walls were wooden and there were two queen-sized beds on either side of the room. She smiled to herself and took a bed for herself, sitting down.

[b]"See, it all worked out."[/b] She said, giggling awkwardly.
