Ayaka grinned. "Yeah, I guess you're right," she agreed. ".... Ah! But.... we live in a tent. Where can I...?" Where was she going to put the mask?

"Ah.....well....Hm." Where WOULD she put it. It was clear that was her concern, even if she had not vocalized it. He should have thought of that in the first place. "Perhaps.....umm....Place it under the cot? It can ward off under-the-bed monsters too, that way.."

Ayaka paused. Had he just....? He really had, hadn't he? He had said what she thought he had said. But.... there was no way. It was impossible. Or was it? Everyone back home slept on futon, so how would she know? She'd never had any experience with beds, or with cots that resembled them. "You mean...." she breathed, wide-eyed, "You're telling me...... There might be evil spirits under the beds, too!?"

Utsuro blinked a bit in confusion. Had she actually taken him seriously? Nobody ever took him seriously when he started talking about spirits and their ilk. "Well..I doubt it..but...it is possible..Yokai can survive in all sorts of strange places and strange fashions....You should be safe, though, do not worry."

Ayaka leaned over the edge of the bed slightly, as though peering underneath to have a look for herself. She didn't see that far under it, and - of course - her impromptu "search" yielded nothing. "Well, if you say so, I guess..." she mused hesitantly, before breaking into a shy kind of smirk. "After all, I didn't run into any bears."

"Ahhh...yes." Utsuro nodded sagely, donning an expression that not only clearly displayed emotion for once, but one that was so stoically seriously there was no conceivable way it could be misconstrued as anything but an attempt at humor. "The dreaded bed bears. And to think most people worry about the bugs."

Ayaka blinked. She felt sure his remark about 'bed bears' was a joke, but something else caught her attention entirely. "But why would they worry about the bugs?" she asked, curious. "The bugs here are nice. Have you talked to any yet?"

Thinking about opening his mouth for a moment, something dawned upon Utsuro that made him stop that sequence. The boy that had helped them get Ayaka down from the tree earlier...he had some form of bug with him, and they seemed to know eachother. Surely that was what she meant. He was, however, a little disappointed that his joke had not made her laugh. "This is true...I have never really had problems with bugs myself, either.."

Ayaka nodded sagely. "I don't think we'll have a problem, here," she agreed, "at least with the beetles." She broke into the amused smirk she'd momentarily forgotten. "Or with meeting any bears under the cots," she added with what came very close to a soft laugh.

"Yes. This is decidedly a bug-friendly and bear-free zone." Utsuro agreed with a nod, smiling faintly.

Ayaka gave her head a quick shake to try and clear her thoughts; she couldn't wait until this day ended and she could get a decent night's sleep. She didn't want to sleep all day, but her mind was still in a fog and it was hard to focus on coherent thought. "Jeeze," she sighed, rubbing her eyes. "Bears and bugs and trees and fences.... I didn't think this place would be so exhausting. Are all ninja villages like this?"

"From..what I have seen...yes, actually." Utsuro replied quietly, examining the floor. "I have been to most of them, after all. Though this kind of exhausting.." Flopping back onto his cot, he stretched out. "It's...nice. I..cannot say that about some of the other villages, sadly."

Ayaka nodded. "I think I know what you mean," she agreed. "My old village wasn't very tiring, but it wasn't very nice, either. At least for someone like me..."

"Well...it is a good thing you are here, then, and no longer there." Utsuro replied, clasping his hands behind his head. Truth be told, he was having a hard time deciding.. "I do not know if I would be welcome in my village, were it possible...I am very clumsy...and with my bad luck..I wonder how much they would have disliked me.."

"I.... don't think it's a matter of being clumsy or not," Ayaka sighed. "There were kids in my village who were really clumsy and no one hated them. But for me..." she sighed again, and looked back across the aisle at Tsutomegi with her big, gray eyes. "If I tell you, you won't stop being my friend, will you?"
