>There's a door. Things should be safe unless Tenshi has a pretty flagrant disregard for modesty, which would be unusual for her.
>Heading to Tenshi's room, you find it has been mostly cleaned up, though there's still some bits of broken vase ceramic around. Looking in the trunk, you find a couple of dresses, though most of them are dirty from the fall. One seems clean, simply rumpled up.

> Hope Tenshi didn't also expect us to find her new undergarments.
> Return to our room and place the clean dress on the floor next to the washroom door.

> Wander off toward the kitchen.

>You depart, and make your way toward the kitchen.
>Along the way, you assess more of the damage done during the fall to this part of the palace. Thankfully, the walls seem to have held; replacing them would be have been an enormous pain and probably taken decades of work. A lot of the decor is gone, though you see the occasional plinth that has been stood up. It's fairly empty, you aren't sure where everyone is now.
>You come to the kitchen without incident. There's a lot of smells in the air...and you think one of them is rice. Huh. Most of the rice supply, meager as it is, tends to be brewed. You believe the majority of such activity goes on in the town that is presently near the Prismriver Manor. You can see Yuki, the main cook, guiding celestials around, giving directions.

>"Busy, Lady Nagae," she says, stopping to give you the briefest of curtsies. "We've had to get in some rice for those who can't take the normal fare right now."
>Given that in Bhava-Agra rice is considered edible in the same way cat is, that you can technically eat it, but it's not civilized to do so, it is something of a thing to see it done here.

>Probably because it all goes toward sake. It might well be due to the connection to the lower realms, as well. You've never really thought about it.
