We'll see. Depending on who's in charge, we may not need to pay at all. I can also barter some of the items I brought with me if necessary.
[As they approach, a young woman steps out with an eager smile, her red hair bound up in a ponytail. Chrom pauses. ...They'll need to pay.]
'Welcome! It's not every day we get a visit from royalty.'
[The girl giggles, but there's a flash of intelligence and mischief in her eyes.]
Ah...greetings. We'd like a room for the evening, and a hot meal if it can be spared?
'Sure! For the three of you, that comes out to about...hm hm hm~ 60,000, if my estimations are correct!'
S-sixty?!
[Chrom's so shocked that his voice actually cracks a little. But the girl doesn't seem to be budging. If anything, she looks all the more pleased.]
'Sixty thousand, yup! But I might be able to cut you a deal in return for a favor. After all, if you can boost business by an equal amount, I'll consider it fair. What do you say?'
[Hngh. They don't have much choice, do they? They need to rest, and it's not really safe to camp outdoors with so few of them to stand guard and fight the occasional army of Risen.]
...Very well. A favor, then. But we can't linger long, there's pressing business at hand.
'Oh of course! We'll go over the details in the morning. Come on in!'
[She gestures to the three of them before leading the way into the quaint (and very Japanese) inn. The interior is warm and cozy, neatly decorated by someone who's an expert at visual aesthetics. She walks far enough ahead that the others can talk if they wish without fear of being overheard.]
