[The child giggles, then hugs Repede before skipping off to go decorate more trees. As for the rest of the elves, they don't even question Yuri for wanting two cups of tea, or two bathrobes. They just glance at each other, shrug, and tell him it'll be ready right away. Maybe he just really likes his dog. Rukia smiles, genuinely charmed by these people and the way they interact with Yuri who's a complete stranger. What a pleasant place!]
A cup of tea does sound nice. Thank you.
[She'd ask for a bath too, but that means one of them will have to be chased out of the room each time. As long as she has something dry to wear, Rukia's happy.]
[Rukia trails along behind Yuri and his elf guide who shows him to his room. There's no key; everyone trusts everyone here. Turning the knob and opening the door, it reveals the coziest room imaginable, the kind a child would see at their grandparents' house set aside for guests. There's a thick quilt draped over a bed, a hand-carved wooden dresser, Christmas decorations on the wall, and a heated brick at the foot of the bed to ensure extra warmth and comfort.]
