"I'd like that, Kona" Ren said, not really enjoying the idea of Kona sleeping with the dogs (XD) so she'd like it better if Kona had a night indoors, and in a bed. Then, she decided, if all she could afford for the night was a single bed room, she wouldn't mind sleeping on the couch. After a few more moments of walking around town, she found a okay looking hotel. Walking in, she asked the price of a room and managed to haggle it down to 19 gillah.
Taking the key to the room, she took Kona along up to the second floor, room tweleve. Inside was a bed, a couch, a clock and a bathroom.
"So...?" she asked, not really knowing what else to say or ask as she entered the room, sitting down on the couch.

Kona got thoroughly confused when he was led into a hotel (he thought?) and then up some stairs and into a fancy room. He just stood in the doorway, kind of in a daze. He wasnt allowed inside! Only important people could afford nice rooms, he couldnt, he had no money. he was supposed to stay outside, with the other dogs!
'Uh....' he said, confused and not sure what to do. She's said 'so'...but was that a question, what did she mean? he moaned faintly. 'What should i do?' Ren would know, she'd help him sort things out in his mind.

"Why don't you get cleaned up?" Ren asked. Not that she minded, but it might be easier on the workers if they came to a bed that wasn't dirtied after sleeping in. Kona looked like he hadn't had a good bath in a while. Ren began to go through her stuff, wondering if she could sell any of her stuff. She had a few unwanted jewerly peices that she could live without, and some jewerly peices she bought because it looked cool at the time.
[[eh...>.< hard time replying to this one]]

((aww thats okay, sorry XD))
'Um..' cleaned up? Was Kona dirty? He looked down at himself, and it was almost as if he only just noticed the grim and torn clothes for the first time. 'Ah! you're right!' He looked awful compared to Ren. There was probably a word for it, but he felt wierd inside knowing he looked a state infront of her. He looked about for anywhere he might clean up.
'Uh...Ren? Where...how should i clean up?' There was a little room that looked promising, with a toilet and big basin, but Kona only ever washed outside, in lakes and streams. The whole inside world was alien to him.

"Here" Ren said, walking into the bath room and walking over to the tub and turning a nob, warm water spilling into the tub. She dipped her hand into the water. Deciding it was a nice tempture, she turned back to Kona.
"There" she said. "Just get into the tub..." she said, then thinking if she should tell Kona to also remove his clothes before going into the bath tub. Deciding he knew at least that much, she walked out of the bath room, shuting the door once he was in.
[[Please dont have Kona bathe in his clothes! Please, Taron? I think Ren's got enough to take care of with Kona already! lol]]

((oowww, but that would be so much fun!! haha kidding, fine fine i'll spare you that one this time, mwahah))
'Thankyou ren!!' Kona said. See, Ren was good at sorting things out. The basin was filled with warm water now, it felt good when he put his hand in. Hmm...his clothes were dirty too, but he'd never seen other people bathing in theirs, so he decided to keep them dry. Besides, they'd be really cold later, if he got them wet.
Closing the door, he stripped and got in, yelping in surprise as the water closed around him. He giggled and set about frantically rubbing the dirt off. He didnt want to still be dirty after all of this; Ren really wouldnt like him, and she'd already been so nice, she'd bought him dogfood!.........hey! where did he put that? Kona's head turned quickly, but he sighed when he noticed the bag of dogfood was still in his trouser pocket, safe. He'd have some more after his bath.

"'Welcome" Ren said sitting back down on the couch, going through her stuff. After a few minutes, she managed to part with two necklaces, a pair of earrings (that she had found on the side of the road) and some make-up (that she had somehow gained from Marrisa and that wasn't that hard to part with).
"Hey, Kona" she called. "I'll be back in a bit. Don't leave the room" she told him as she left the hotel room and headed out to the market to sell the few things and buy something for later today. The market already looked like it was going to close. She was going to have to sell her few items quickly if she wanted to buy something for dinner.
After selling her few items, she set out to buy something for herself and Kona. She knew that, even though he had his dog food, he was going to need something more. She bought some jerky, some bread and some perserved fruits. She walked back to the apartment, her few items cradled in her arms.

Kona decided he was clean enough, and jumped up to get out of the bath, splashing water everywhere. From outside he heard Ren call, and suddenly got a bad feeling. She was telling him to stay put, while she left...but...was it a trick? Kona was too much like a dog sometimes, and would do anything people tell him, so in the past one way to get him to stop following would be simply to tell him to stay put, and they would come back. Of course...they almost never came back. Kona shook his head. Ren wouldnt do that, would she?
Getting scared, he hurriedly shook the water off, using a towel in places, and got his clothes back on. Ren still wasnt back. He whined and sat on the bed in her room, keeping still and listening for signs that she was returning.

Right before Ren managed to get the door of the room, she felt a some weight removed from her arms. Looking down at the foods she had bought from the market, she saw that her bread had been stolen. She looked around, then seeing a girl, a child, running off with her load of bread.
"Pickpocket!" Ren yelled as the girl kept running. Desciding that she the girl probably needed the food, from the look of the girl's clothes, Ren decided to let her keep it. But if she ever met up with that girl again, she'd be in for it.
"Hey, Kona" she said, entering the room, seeing Kona sitting on the bed. "Im back" she said, stating the obious.

Kona jumped up straight away when the door opened, and barked in happiness. Ren was back!! He immediately went and gave her a hug, pleased she had returned. 'I thought you might not come back!' he said, that thought sounding silly now that she was back. He wagged his tail and sighed in content, moving to sit back on the bed with his legs crossed.
'Where did you go, anyway?' he asked, seeing the food but not making the connection.

"The market" Ren said. "I have some jerky and some fruit preservites, and I had some bread, but some girl swiped it just before I got here" she said with a sigh, packing away the foods into her backpack.
[[o.o I couldn't think of anything else to post...]]

((thats okay))
'What's jerky? What girl? Why did you go to the market?' Kona asked quickly, voicing any questions that came to mind. She couldt have gone just to get food, but he wanted to make sure it wasnt because of him that she left for a while. 'Why did you leave me behind!? i wasnt being slow, i could have come with you' he said, almost whining. Funny, he spent most of his life alone, and yet now he couldnt bear being left for more than two seconds. 'Dont go again, i wont slow you down, honest!' he blurted, ears drooped.
Then his ears rose again. 'I know! i can go and get your bread back!' he wouldnt mind helping Ren; she'd bought him dogfood! Speaking of which...he reached for the bag and started nibbling again.

"Haha, no, it's fine. Bread doesn't cost that much" Ren lied. Bread didn't cost much. A whole loaf did, but maybe that girl needed it. Or at least, that's what Ren wanted to believe. She just didn't want to think that the girl really needed that bread so much that she was willing to steal it.
"And jerky is like dried meat, salted so that it will last longer" she said, trying to change the subject. "And if you want, I won't leave you behind again" she told Kona, ruffling his hair with her hand.
[[Awe! I think Kona is like a younger brother kind of kid =3]]

((XD yeah, younger bro except he's like 16, hahah))
Dried salty meat...Kona wondered what that tasted like. Meat was supposed to be eaten raw, all bloody and chewy and yummy, but he knew that humans didnt eat it that way. They had a strange ritual of burning food over a fire, which completely removed all the yumminess, in Kona's opinion. So he guessed jerky was burned and then dried....yuck.
Ren ruffled his hair and Kona almost squealed. Being petted was wonderful! It was almost as nice as being hugged..maybe even better! He chuckled strangely and yipped, moving his head towards her hand. It felt really good, but as always it was over too quickly. She wouldnt leave him again, and she'd petted him! Ren was really great, he thought dreamily..

Ren layed down on the bed, enjoying the fact that it was soft, unlike yesterday's rock she slept on. The only question now was where to go next. Maybe Abon. No, she was there a week ago. She thought there would be more places to go when you traveled, but it felt like she was going in a big circle. Then, an idea popped up. What about Astar? Wait, she couldn't go into such a big place with Kona and she'd hate to leave him behind.
"Purple Rocks" she mummbled to herself softly. She had over heard that a village was in an area that had purple rocks. Purple! That sounded interesting. Maybe with all the strange colored rocks, Kona might be seen as much of a difference. She didn't really know; she wasn't a +anima.
