The owner hesitated, noticing her frown, "only if you want to... I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I'm sure you've had enough of that for the day."
Lafreur shook his head with a look of remorse, "I'm sorry, I'm sure you'd had more than enough of stepping out of your comfort zone. It's getting late anyways, so we can postpone what we were going to do after this. I apologize for my oversight."
Cerwen slumps a little, "Sorry... But between the speech, being caught, the suit, -using- the suit... I guess the exhaustion is just catching up to me."
"Well I live just across the street" noted Lafreur, "you're welcome to come on my rooftop if you want to get your bearings It has an amazing view, as it's one of the tallest buildings in the city, though of course it is dwarfed by the Church. "
Lafreur's face looked greatly concerned, "Cerwen... you don't have to go back there. There's more than enough room in my place for you to have lots of space to yourself. I don't mind at all if you stay there before we leave for our journey."
Honor and altruism were the cornerstone of Lafreur's character, "Well I have an entire guest hall. You will have your own room, bathroom and a private patio. Look Cerwen, I know you don't know me very well but you have to trust me if we're going to work together. If you decide to stay over, you won't even know I'm there." He laughed, "and not just because I can turn invisible."
Cerwen crosses her arms, a frown appearing. Not of annoyance, but of thinking. "But I've never really lived outside the orphanage... No one particularly liked me, y'know. So... I don't know if I could handle sleeping in a... Private room... I've always had many people sleeping in the same room with me."
Lafreur smiled, "it's rather nice. You can stretch out and do whatever you want. Make all the noise you desire, take up as much room as you want... you're free to be yourself. I can even give you the key so you can come and go as you please. How does that sound?"
Lafreur sighed, "sometimes it does. Other times, it's kind of nice to have some privacy. If you have any friends or other people to invite to stay with you, that's fine with me. The place is large and we're pretty much the same age so I don't think it would be too awkward."
The restaurant owner didn't notice her sarcasm, "well have whoever you'd like over and I'll give you a key. There's also a pager if there's anything you're missing and I can be there before you know it. So what do you say... stay for a couple of nights before we leave?"
The girl slowly does the same. Slowly, because she's not used to it. She thinks for a moment, then grins. She reaches out and picks up a piece of paper, then threads it into a piece of his clothing. "There. I can follow you while you're invisible and, to anyone else, it'll look like a flying bit of garbage."
He looked down and smiled, "I'm starting to like having you around already." With that, her suitor disappeared and the paper suspended in the air. It danced around comically for a moment before, with a rush of wind, it began streaking down the empty street.
