"I think you misunderstand my statement, Lorand," Melia responded, shaking her head in regards to his comment about money. "Though it might be possible to buy us all a few months' or years' time at an inn, the giant influx of people suddenly popping into existence here might mean that we might not be able to get a room at All. Unless you're willing to try and buy people out, but you might be scalped pretty badly if we tried that."

Sighing and shaking her head, Melia glanced at the little fairy before massaging her forehead. Her dialogue was... What was it again? Right, chuunibyou. Really chuunibyou-esque. How did Lorand manage to put up with her...?

"A-anyways, I think that we should probably steer clear of any major cities or towns for the moment, if only to find a place to rest. If the place you're thinking of isn't going to be exploding with people in the next few hours, then I'll agree to that. Otherwise, well... Hopefully there's a place that sells coffee or something, because we'll be looking for a while."

Coughing a few times into her elbow, Melia opened up her inventory to check the gold she had on hand.
...
More than enough to fund a few people staying in a room for the next few days. That much was good, at least. But...

"Though... I think that we should probably try getting some sort of base of operations set up in the near future."

With that, Melia turned to address the two sisters who seemed to be standing by. Compared to the party, the two were... well, far underleveled, if anything. If there was any time to get their combat proficiency up, it'd be now, when the chaos was stopping any of the regular crowd from staking their claims.

Explaining the discussion to the younger child in as simple of a manner as she could, Melia turned to Yukimura and began to address the... [i]Other[/i] issue at hand, trying to keep the discussion loud enough for her to hear, but not enough for Kirika to do the same.

"[i][u]So... I understand that you've been reunited, and I would prefer not to mention this, but... Unless you're ready to tackle some of the bigger problems ahead of us--namely, getting stronger and making a place for ourselves in this world so we don't get pushed out--you both are going to be in a bit of a pinch. It's going to be dangerous, trying to get your sister to level; if you don't want her to go down that path, you'll have to work twice as hard to make up for it. This world is pretty dangerous, after all.[/u][/i]"
