Jya made sure to clean up enough in her book. Once she was done, she practically hopped out of the bath. It was pleasant enough but she preferred to not get used to the comfortable life. Discomfort was a part of her now and it brought a sense of pride. She might be thinking too much into the matter but she felt it necessary for a sense of accomplishment.
She did feel quite right putting her clothes on while she was soaked. As Val entered the room she felt compelled to meet him. Her new health made her skin far healthier than before, her paleness all but gone from her appearance. Her wet hair dripped with water, her usual ponytail had been taken off and her hair fell down along her shoulders.
"Hey, Val," she called out walking over to him, her clothes in a bundle. Oh yes, she still had no shame to speak of. It was all natural to her.
"We should be careful not to get used to comfort ya know, it might make us soft," she warned, speaking her own mind. She was still quite soaked in water.

Val had been thinking on their quest when he heard Jya's voice from the side. She didn't want to get used to comfort, eh? Heh, someone like her wasn't terribly used to it, so of course it seemed foreign.
"Well that may be true bu-wah!" His comment was stopped instantly. He had turned to address her, got one hell of an eyeful, and then quickly turned back around, his face so red he threatened to burst into flames. "Uh...um....ah...." He mumbled, having difficulty forming words at this juncture in time. Ok, calm down, calm down. Two options for her behavior...
1: She's trying to seduce you.
2: She doesn't realize it.
The answer was very, very obvious. But that didn't make it any less difficult to deal with!
"Y-Y-You might want to dry off." He mumbled, keeping his eyes busy scanning the room for some kind of a towel. He saw one a little bit away, folded neatly on top of a side table and moved to go over to it...
Before tripping over his own feet and falling flat on the ground. How was he supposed to focus on silly things like walking after that?!
Well, cold wasn't an issue anymore. He hadn't even felt this hot when he was in Nabata.

Jya turned her head over to the right, wandering what was wrong with Valorian. His reaction to her request shocked her but it didn't seem to be the source of his troubles. She shook her head to help dry off, tiny droplets fell to the ground. She spied the towel that Val pointed out and rushed over to grab it herself.
"Yeah, I heard you can get colds if you don't dry yourself off properly," she remarked. Her clothes sat to the right of her and when she was done, she hung the towel across her neck. She wanted to let her clothes dry off a bit before putting them back on.
"Oh I call the ceiling," she said, wanting to sleep up on the beams. They were large and solid enough to support her from the looks of it. Still naked...yep.

Valorian sighed slightly when she went to go retrieve the towel, thank the gods. He kept his eyes away from her as he heard the sounds of her drying herself off. And then the sounds stopped, so of course she had wrapped the towel about herself. He almost forgot completely about her attire when she made her intent to sleep in the ceiling known.
"Why would you-Gah!" And he was treated to another eyeful of the newly healthy lady. Her skin was full of color, her hair was smooth and...well she certainly was a women physically. Gah! Stop that! He'd averted his eyes again, but recovered slightly quicker this time.
"W-why sleep up there? T-T-There are beds..."
You could share mine...?
NO NO NO NO NO. That was just wrong! He shook his head again, willing himself to move slowly over to his bag that he began rummaging through. He wasn't looking for anything in particular, but it served to keep him distracted. One of these days he was going to have to...discuss things with her. This was going to drive him mad.
Though if it was this kind of madness, maybe he wouldn't mind?

Perhaps it was her paranoia that made her want to sleep in the beams. People rarely busted into a room and look up into the shadows to check for a person. The safety of the darkness brought her comfort and she preferred to rest as such. She was reluctant to answer Valorian with that thought and instead said something else.
"I'm just used to it when I get a room that and the windowsill," she answered back. However due to Ilia's cold nature, she feared that she might fell out into the snow. The idea of busting out of the room through the windows were highly discomforting for her. With that she felt that her clothes were dry enough and she nudged herself into the familiar green uniform.

Valorian heard the shuffling of clothing behind him, and figured that Jya was finished getting dressed again. He wasn't going to make the same mistake again though, and he was done assuming.
"Are you dressed over there?" He asked, while acting like he had found what he was looking for and standing up, moving rather rigidly to a far table where he set a few things out. Some papers, a quill or two, nothing unusual for the young Sage to have. Still he was having a hard time remaining calm. Sleep didn't seem all that likely to come calling for him tonight. Not after seeing that...maybe he should go outside for a little bit to cool down?
He shook his head, no. Cold was one thing, pneumonia was another all together. Still he wasn't going to even look in Jya's direction until he was sure that she was actually clothed.
Maybe not even then, he didn't think anything could remove all the red from his face.

"Yep," Jya answered happily. The bath had made her into a better mood than before but that wasn't saying much. She found herself a blanket for the night. With that done she began to check where to climb. When she found a secure area she began to climb about the walls. It was a secure room to some extent but it was quite easy to scale.
"Good night," she said towards Valorian from above. When she found a good roost to rest in, she wrapped herself in the blanket and snuggled herself in the corner. This was another advantage of a large room it seems. With this she can move around the room unseen and unheard if she was careful.

Well, this was it. Alexander was in Ilia now. His vision had directed him towards here. Those icy caves he had pictured, well, he would check it out sometime. He was going to find out his destiny. Perhpas find out about some intriguing stuff over here.
He was just a few kilometres away from Edessa now. While Alexander was generally not interested in the trivial political affairs in humans, he was curious particularly about this Bernese Rebellion rumor that was spreading. If it was true, then it would not be such a bad idea to visit Edessa and here more about Ilia's political state of affairs. Alexander himself was surprised how he suddenly became a person longing for gossip and secrets.
As for now though, he had decided to stay at this lovely inn he had arrived at. He just went straight upto the counter, booked his room, which happened to be next to another room occupied by a green-robed thief whose innocence was annoying a certain green haired sage, but obviously Alexander didn't know what was going on in that room. All he cared about was what was the true meaning of his existence and... that nobody tried entering his room while he was asleep. He still remembered what happened to his friend... b*******. Those humans would surely kill him if they found out what he really was.
