(out of politeness, watanuki taps the tobacco on the built-in ashtray of his tray, leaving it aside with caution and care, like it's the most important thing in the world.

it is to him, in a way.

he takes a sip of the sake before nodding.)

New here too?

[thats_it]

[Ignis inclines his head, a wordless thank you, and then shifts to sit down]

More or less. [a beat] I've a few friends here, who have filled me in on some of the details, but ... [but there are things that Noct didn't cover. there are things that he did that are bizarre, regardless]

[kimihiros]

But you yourself are still figuring it out, hm?

(he completes the sentence, smiling kindly before he offers a finger to mugetsu, who promptly sets his head under it for scratches.)

[thats_it]

[he nods]

I am.

[and no matter how cool and collected he seems about the whole affair, it's been a hell of a learning curve. the wildlife is bizarre, the fact that he just arrived here out of the blue even more so, and some of the things he's heard from Noct about the future, his future are unsettling. not surprising, but well. it's been a lot to take in]

[rather than get into that, however, he turns the question back on him. sort of] What about you? Anyone familiar here? [a beat] Beyond ... [beyond Mugetsu, of course]

[kimihiros]

Not at all, it's just me and Mugetsu. (who in turn, squeaks to say hello.) I don't have many people as is.

[thats_it]

[Ignis, meanwhile, has many acquaintances -- people he's met over the course of his travels, or before, when he was training to be the Hand of the King, under his uncle. he doesn't have very many friends, however. he doesn't have many people he trusts, unequivocally. so, maybe he doesn't have many people, either]

[he's not about to point that out, however. and so, instead, he just smiles at Mugetsu, and notes:] Well, at least neither of you are entirely alone. [someone is better than no one and all at that]

[kimihiros]

Where are people staying? I've seen many places, and yet, no houses.

(the mage takes the turn to drink some more. it may occur to him later that he might not have the same tolerance here, even if that tolerance is absurdly high as is. just let him have this.)

[thats_it]

Ah.

[he turns in the direction of the Merlaut, gesturing towards it, before he returns his attentions to Kimihiro] There's a hotel, in that direction. [a beat] The Merlaut, I believe it's called.
