[ Ayaka's '-' blinking up at him now that she's all ready for bed. She would have thought he'd be in bed already, but why is he waiting outside his room? ]
[ Rubbing one of his eyes, he yawns before answering tiredly, ] No, no just wanted to wait.
[ Beau doesn't wanna admit that if he's going to flop over passing out, he wants to do it with her. ...tonight was scarier than he would like to admit. They got lucky. ]
[ Bed's nice and made! He has a feeling that despite taking a fresh bath and shower, he's going to just conk out completely the moment he hits a pillow. Hand in hand with her, he slides the door shut behind them. ]
Alright. Love you. G'night.
[ Cloud's turn to tug tug...in fact, he hardly remembers how they got into the bed, everything becomes a blur. But once the two of them were nestled in bed and under the covers, it was like a massive weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He's too tired to even think about what they had gone through with the giant Hell House. So for Cloud at least? His sleep was uneventful. Any dreams he may have had weren't anything to write home about either...
It's what happens when the two return to their Spring Guild the next day, however...that would feel like a dream. ]
The Next Day, at the Spring Guild . . .
Mind repeating that again?
[ "Um...you mean the 9,000 Moon Coins?" ]
[ See your beau, Ayaka? That's the sight of the bags under his eyes getting instantly sucked away, waking up. Listen. He was a merc at one point. But he was not prepared for that. ]
[ "That's right. These things have been cropping up in distant reaches of the region. And no one's been able to figure out the difference between 'em before it's too late. And since you're the first ones to claim you downed the one we found on morning patrol..." ]
[ It wasn't quite the best sleep Ayaka's ever had, but she definitely conked out very easily. Cloud really had to wake her up the next day, and even though she was still too tired, she got up the same time he did.
What would have been a quick trip to get rewards and to report something to the guilds turns out to be something more rewarding. Ayaka didn't do the "quest" with Cloud on purpose, but it seems they were able to check off two quests done yesterday!
... Funny that. ]
That's a lot of Moon Coins.
[ Yes, Ayaya. Thank you for stating the obvious. ]
I didn't even see it on the quest board before we left.
[ Lucky them! But she hopes what happened to them doesn't happen to anyone else. ]
[ The obvious or not, Cloud's just going to echo that sentiment. ]
[ "Now then. Seeing as the two of you were involved with dismantling that creature, I take it you two would like to have the reward money for both jobs split?" ]
Works for me. [ Cloud shrugs before looking to Ayaka by his side, giving her a knowing, calm smile. ] It all goes to the same place anyway.
[ Considering that Cloud was going to give Ayaka the majority of his own share, it just makes sense to him. Better kept and handled by the Kamisatos while he just takes what he needs. ]
[ What about Cloud? As the Guild staff member retreats to the back to go and get their Moon Coin reward, he slips his hand in hers, a little bit of reassurance as he gives it a quick squeeze. ]

Somehow, even if it was unintentional, Ayaka still feels like they did a good job. She flashes Cloud a small smile then. ]
I think that's enough excitement for some time for me. What about you?
