"Cool... cool. Was all Rena responded with, it really wasn't a big deal as she thought, although she did notice his very slight hesitation, or maybe it was all her imagination? An exaggerated grunt accompanied her as she rose from the chair, she then retrieved a red backpack, this time she actually had her belongings on her. "Come along then, it's not far but we still got a walk ahead of us." She waited until Jeremy was ready to move out before leading the way out of the library.
Some thirty minutes later the pair arrived at their destination, as Rena said it wasn't too far distance wise, but navigating the city streets make the trip a good deal longer. Rena's home was unsurprisingly an apartment complex it didn't look much, actually in fact it practically was a glorified motel by appearances alone. There were a total of five floors so certainly it wasn't a small building, unfortunately there wasn't a working elevator, the only one was closed for maintenance at the moment. "We have to use the stairs, but hey you're not too out of shape right?" Rena threw the remark over her shoulder, of course with a smile like always.
Rena climbed up to the third floor, a few times glancing back to make sure Jeremy was keeping up and didn't do something stupid like get lost. It wouldn't be wrong to say she was somewhat feeling anxious, much more than usual, but the reason was pretty obvious really. When they arrived on the right floor the girl continued down the hall, a line of doors were on the left and to the right was nothing more than a safety railing that looked out to the city beyond, the only thing that separated them from the ground far below. Rena stopped when she reached the fourth door, room 304.
"Well... here it is, now a fair warning it isn't much, but yeah it's home." Rena fished the keys out of her hoodie pocket, then obviously unlocked the door and opened it. She wasn't wrong, it really wasn't much; a one bathroom and bedroom is tiny after all. Right away the first thing to note is the "lived in" feel of the apartment, the first room was simply a living room with a couch and TV set with a connected kitchen. While the room wasn't a mess, it really wasn't tidy, books were left scattered all over the couch, days old dirty dishes were left on the kitchen counter, and these were just a few examples. Located in the short entry hall there are doors on both sides, the left goes to the bathroom and the right to the bedroom.
Right away Rena ran to the couch and quickly gathered the books to make room. "Sorry for the mess... heh... this was sort of a spur of the moment thing really, and I haven't cleaned up... like at all." Rena laughed only slightly uncomfortably, being a little embarrassed. She threw her bag down next to the newly made stack of books, then was about to make her way to the kitchen. "Make yourself at home, and all that cliche jazz. I'm gonna get us water."
