"Ichi-san has done a lot," Ayaka agreed, her free hand resting on a particular spot on the picture frame - the place where a single drop of water had landed - "But still... the first person to come after me... "That was you."

"Y-yes..I did." Utsuro nodded, smiling faintly, shyly. "Somehow...I guess....Maneki-san finally started working.." He added, clutching at his pocket softly. "It felt good....to do something right for once.."

Ayaka just nodded. "Seems like this place is pretty special," she observed after a moment. "We're both finding what we came here for. Well. I'm still not really sure what I came here for, but it feels like I'm finding it, y'know? Kind of. When I'm not all confused."

"I..understand, actually." Picking at a stray string from the hem of his shirt, his head bobbed slightly in agreement. "There is just a sort of....feeling to this place, right? Like being here...it's...right."

Ayaka nodded, gently taking her hand back and leaning on it slightly. "Yeah," she agreed. "Like that. Everything's all upside-down here, but maybe that's what makes it special, y'know? "Does that.... make any sense? At all?" She tapped her head. "I'm... not sure if the rest of me is down from that tree yet."

Utsuro nodded. He seemed to be doing that often as of late. Or maybe it just seemed that way, as he very rarely had someone to agree with on much of anything. "It makes perfect sense, Ayaka-san. Do not worry. Though.." He paused for a moment, seeming to think about something. "Should I let you rest more? If you are still feeling disoriented, I do not wish to compound the problem by keeping you from properly resting.."

Ayaka just shook her head. "I think if I try to sleep any more right now," she explained, "I'll just end up not being able to sleep later tonight. It's just gonna be a weird day, I think. "There's nothing... I'm keeping you from doing, is there?"

"Ah...yes...I suppose that makes sense...I have..admittedly...never experienced a time when I have been unable to sleep from sleeping too much." Granted, until recently, he had never been able to attempt 'sleeping too much', but the point still stood. "No..you are not keeping me from anything." Utsuro shook his head swiftly, lest she start to worry. " I did not make any plans..because...I wanted to make sure you were fine first.."

Ayaka shrugged. "It's more like... if I sleep all day, then I'll be up all night, right? I saw some of my cousins stay up when they should have slept because of that. Otherwise you end up staying up at night and sleeping in the daytime. But that isn't good because everything's closed at night... right? "But... " She paused, unable to figure out how to say what she was thinking. Someone had really put off other things they wanted to do, just to make sure she was okay. That... hadn't happened since before... "Thanks," she finally said, albeit a little shyly, a faint smile peeking out from behind her veil of hair. "And... I'm sorry I worried you. I didn't know I was going to be sleeping in a tree until I woke up there."

Listening to her explanation, it made perfect sense. The more you slept, the more rested you were, and the longer you slept in, the later you would be awake into the night. In theory, he could see where that could be a problem. "You are most welcome. There is.......it is not a good feeling to wake up after something unsavory has occurred and not having anyone be there to provide comfort and solace."

Ayaka nodded, and gave a little, self-deprecating laugh. "Yeah," she agreed a little awkwardly. "Honestly, if it hadn't been for you guys, I'd probably still be stuck up there. It was dark when I climbed up, so I didn't see how high I was. And then when I woke up and was already that far up... "Heh. It really was kind of a strange thing to get myself into, wasn't it?"

Utsuro chuckled quietly, shaking his head. "Try 'waking up' hiding in an alley, sausages cooking in your hands, with a very, very angry butcher several blocks behind you."

Ayaka blinked. "So.... you and Ichi-san got hungry?" she asked, just as calmly as she would have asked about the weather.

"Y-yeah." He replied, slightly taken aback by the abruptness of the statement. Did anything phase this girl? "Well...I got hungry....passed out...I guess Ichi-sama took it upon himself to.....'acquire' some food.."

"I see..." Ayaka murmured with an understanding nod. "I can see how that would be weird to wake up to." It almost made her waking up in a tree feel completely normal. Then again, everyone had found her in that tree, so maybe things like that were normal around here. "He.... knows he can just go to the food tents here, right?" she asked, sounding a little concern. "I'd hate for something bad to happen because of a misunderstanding like that..."
