> Look around. How are the other folks holding up?

>You look around, and can see that Bykauren is approaching, while Mokou and the hakutaku are keeping back and Mamizou seems to be have been hiding behind them, given she is now circling around them.

They're arguing intellectual nonsense while occasionally devoting some effort into solving the problem of how to physically swap everyone's money back. It's kind of funny to watch, to be honest. Someone needs to head back that way anyway, Rinnosuke's kinda sorta not in the waking world right now and is just lying there on the road where anything can get at him."

>You make your way toward town, and find that as the excitement wears off, your back really is quite sore. Your purse feels like it weighs a ton. Not to mention that you are fairly soaked and cold; though the air is fairly warm so the chill isn't too bad.
>The village is quiet, you don't see anyone out. As you walk through the front door of the tavern, you you see the celestial is still sitting where she was, doing her best to look calm. "Is everything alright?" she says.
