Chilling with the crew in the Sweet Maid felt pretty damn good. Ames wondered if she could convince Raime to work there too, or if it was too close to his real life responsibilities to consider. Still, the food was great and the company was... well it was the same old party, Ames thought, and left it at that. They talked shop and traded crass jokes. Britomart cleaned up the kitchen in the mean time, and when she was finished she stood nearby with her lips pursed in concentration, listening the group's discussion about strategies. As per usual with them their plans ranged from reasonable to completely stupid. But they had more experience than the squire, and so she just absorbed the information.
And then, the sound of people coming in.
Ames blinked, momentarily forgetting that her Nuclei was technically a place of business. After all, she hadn't had any customers yet, and mostly just concerned herself with decorating and not advertising. Once the scene sunk in and she registered there was a group looking to make use of the inn, she gaped like a fish and looked back and forth between her friends. These were the Sweet Maid's first real guests! It was happening! She was only knocked out of her stupor when Raime's message appeared, and her expression when from flabbergasted to straight up affronted. While she quickly replied to the message, the young squire stepped towards the group and offered them a shallow bow.
"Greetings," she said, "We would be happy to host you. The price of a room is..."
At that moment Britomart was bombarded with the telepathic messages of her lord.
Bri! It's happening! Okay, we researched this! And - and we're going with Prime Rate plus one! No! Wait that's for loans! Oh man, what was the price of that one place in Nyu-Taro on the street with the flower shop? Should we price higher or lower than that?!
Sir... I believe you mentioned wanting to start with a lower price until the Sweet Maid was well established...?
Oh, oh yeah. Okay, tell them it's...
...it's...?
Aaah, hold on I'm just thinking it over again.
Sir Ames... Was that a touch of pity that Ames thought she heard in Britomart's mind-voice? The inn's master took in a breath through her nose to recenter herself.
Okay. Okay, tell them it's...
The brief conversation took place over the span of just a second or two. Britomart's eye twitched, but then she carried on speaking aloud. "...600 Rishi."
And now the duo would either prepare for guests, or prepare to console a disappointed Ames. The red head in question sunk lower into her seat for a couple seconds before suddenly leaning forward toward the group.
"If you guys wanna head back out into the field I'll catch up," Ames whispered. Though she wouldn't mind if they stuck around a little longer either, as long as they didn't do anything to mess up the burgeoning business opportunity.
