( the wind and snow has been battering at all sides since midnight, she's sure of it. so as the daylight finally sheds... some light, mafuyu scoops up the deernicorn gently, watching out the window before she closes the curtains to try and keep some heat in. )
[This storm ...it's quite terrible, isn't? The Nest had it's share of nasty winter storms, but this is starting to worry him. He doesn't think the integrity of the shrine is at stake, but trying to keep the fires lit...]
[He's been trying to get his nerves up to ask Ydalir about enchanting the fireplaces here ...but... will it be enough?]
[Mayoi has been fussing with the fire this entire time, as if watching it will ensure it stays burning.]
-Ah.
[At his name, though, he will turn to look at Mafuyu.]
With this blizzard- would it be safer to move back to the inn for a bit, just... in case? A lot of us are rather disconnected, and traveling even short distances in this weather could be perilous if an emergency happens...
I think ...I-I think that would be safest. We may lose our chance if we wait much longer.
[But there is something on his mind and he looks towards the windows, worrying at his lip.]
...It feels like abandoning a post, however. To leave the shrine ...what if someone loses their way and needs help finding the town...? Ourania-sama said that one of my duties would be to guide those who are lost.
Yes, I ...I had a feeling you would not stand for me telling you to leave for your own safety.
[Though he obviously thought it. It's fine... he did not want to be alone, anyway. But now he is really wondering what he should do. It's wretched, he's not used to being the one who has to make the difficult choices.]
[But he's being trusted with this responsibility, so he must. He takes a shuddering breath and looks towards the rest of the shrine, and then to Mafuyu.]
Let us pack up quickly. We will take the lanterns ...a-and make for the Inn before things get too bad. From the Inn, I can set up a temporary shrine.
[He hopes it will be enough to apologize to Ourania-sama for leaving the shrine so soon.]
