Miles nodded at her and tucked himself behind a dense bush, waiting for her to come back. Please hurry…. my leg is getting much worse….

She found what looked like one of the only inns in town. Luckily it was on the outskirts of town and Emmeline walked inside, seeing that it seemed pretty empty. She quickly paid for a decent sized room and told the innkeeper that she would be right back. "Miles," She called as she dashed out of town and started back towards him.

Miles perked up. “Emmiline???” He answered back. That was much quicker than I anticipated…. He stood up, but still kept hidden in case anyone else was walking around.

"I found an inn, and it's pretty empty." She slowed to a walk and looked around for him, "There was no one in there when I got a room besides the innkeeper, we have to hurry if you want to get to the room without being seen."

“Alright….” He shot up but stayed hunched over, shuffling out of the bush. “Let’s get down there then.”
He let Emmiline lead the way and they went down to the inn efficiently. This was a bit easier than I thought…. no one has pointed me out yet…. fortunately….

She grabbed the valuables before leading the way, humming softly as she led him to the outskirts of town, motioning for him to act normal. "I'll go in first and set this stuff down, then I'll come back out and you can follow me through."

"Alright…" Miles camped out in a nearby shrub, making sure his blanket didn't get caught on the branches. I need to conceal myself as much as possible… When he crouched, his foot exploded with pain. No no no no no I can't doooo that!!! He tumbled over on his rear, just to get pressure off both his feet. Better…

Emmeline walked inside and went to the room she had gotten, setting the valuables down quickly before coming back out to get Miles. She smiled when she got back outside, "Alright Miles, there wasn't anyone else in there when I went to the room, you can come in."

"Alright…" He pushed himself up with his stick and hobbled on inside. "Show me the way." He glanced around – the place seemed super vacant for a place so homey and cozy. I feel like I could live here….

(Sry, my brain is fried right now and I can't think of how to explain what the room looks like)
She nodded and lead the way to their room, opening the door to show a cozy but nice room. "Ta-da," She said with a small smile, "It was the best room for the price they wanted." She looked up at him, "Is it ok?" She asked.

(Ooahg okay.)

Miles grunted. "Yeah, it looks nice…. If– I– could get in…." He shoved himself through the doorway, ducking his head down and scrunching up. The ceiling was high enough to stand tall, and he was happy. "This is good…." He glanced over. "But…."

(May I do the unthinkable??)

(Sure)
"But what?" She looked around the room, a little worried that she did something wrong. She looked up at him again and rocked on her feet.

(Oooooh)

"I only see one bed…" He muttered. But that's okay, I can always sleep on the hard floor too. Miles shifted his weight, and the entire floor creaked under his feet.

(Because you said you didn't want to describe the room, I'm helping you out :3)

(Oke :) thx)
She looked down at the floor, slightly embarrassed, "Sorry..like I said, this was the best room for the price." She kicked at the floor and glanced around the room, "I can sleep on the floor, you look like you need the bed more than I do, you've been sleeping on the ground for the past two nights."

Miles glared at her. "….Who said only one of us could be on the bed at once?" He crawled onto the foot of the bed, laying on it sideways. "I mean, don't you want to sleep with someone as fuzzy and cuddly as me?" He glanced back at her, his tail wagging.

She blushed and looked up at him, "I mean, you are quite fluffy.." She sighed and felt herself blush more, "Fine, I mean, it's not like theres another bed." She walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it.

Miles let out a huge nasal sigh. It's almost too easy…. He shifted a little, letting his injured foot hang off the edge. "I'm getting sorta tired…." He leaned over against her. "But before I take another nap…. I need something to eat…."

"Do you want me to go buy some meat or something?," She asked, glancing over at him and looking over at the pack of valuables. She leaned back against him lightly and looked at the ceiling, humming lightly again.

"Well… If you have any more, I'll eat it, but if not, don't bother…" He closed his eyes. "I just…. Might rest my eyes or something…." Miles' mind got a little quirky after that: Don't say it…. Don't say it….. Don't– "Pet me."

She looked over at him skeptically, "Ok..?" She said, reaching over and starting to pet him. Emmeline sat up a little straighter and scooted further onto the bed before laying down, still petting him.

Although it was a strange thing to do for him, her petting him helped him feel at ease from whatever it was that was stressing him out. “That’s….. better….” Miles mumbled, shifting around a little bit before settling in.

She nodded softly, closing her eyes ever so slightly. "Are you still using that blanket?" She asked him, rolling on her side. She was a little cold but she didn't want to say that out loud.

Miles grabbed the blanket and draped it over her, while half was still covering his back. “Is that any better?” He asked. I hope she doesn’t want the whole thing… She’ll be much warmer if she’s next to me under the blanket….

(Please tell me that didn’t come out wrong….)

(you're good, I understand)
"Yeah," She said, her eyes completely closed as she started to drift to sleep, "Thanks Miles." She slowly stopped petting him and grabbed the blanket instead, not pulling on it, just holding on.

(👌)

Miles snuggled up against her, making sure she was warm. "Do you think we should get something to eat when we wake back up from our nap?…." He said softly. I am getting a bit hungry again….
