> Nod.> "Let's get comfortable?"> If she accepts, close our umbrella (if needed to. Don't if there is no need), and lie on the bed, leaving space for Tokiko to do the same. Make sure we are facing the way she will be lying on.
> "Do you want or need to get changed for bed?"> Do we have bedtime clothes?
>Why did we ask Rinnosuke if we could set up shop here?
> "This feels much better, right?"> How is our bed, even?> And for that, how is our whole room?
> Snuggle in close to her, to make sure neither of us is falling off the bed.
> Is there any light on right on? Like a candle?> "Yea... That's good."> Smile.> "Would you like to keep talking until we feel sleepier to rest, or want to right now?
> Does she seem to be trying to stay up close to us? Or does she seem tense and nervous about the close contact? Or does she not seem to care either way?
> "Well, maybe we could know each other before going to sleep, if that helps for the rest to come more naturally as we get sleepier."
> Let's hope Tokiko doesn't know that "getting to know each other" in a situation like this can be a euphamism for intimate relations! We wouldn't want there to be misunderstandings...> "Sorry for how small the bed is, by the way. Hopefully this isn't too tight for you."
> Adjust ourself to be more comfortable if we can in our current spot.> "So... How did you came to work for Mister Rinnosuke, Tokiko?"
> "I do get not looking to think about the red-white, though, yeah."
> Look really confused for a moment.> "Uh... Y-You don't have to explain anything if it will be uncomfortable for you... ... But I would like to help if I could..."
>Don't say this just yet. >"Which shrine maiden? Red-white or Sanae?"
> "So you don't have a home... I didn't really either. I was left alone for years..."
> "Mmm. I do get not liking to think about the red-white, yeah."
> Frown just a tiny bit.> "I have before, yes."> Look upward and prepare ourselves to latch onto Tokiko again.
> Sigh.> "I think the worst might've passed..."
> Glance over at her. Is she asleep, or did she just not think it was worth responding to?
> Chuckle quietly, and then speak quietly.> "Tokiko, did you fall asleep?"
