A stranger's offer for help made Makoto straighten his posture in embarrassment, he might've been acting his exhaustion up a bit there, and turn to face his benefactor. He had to look up slightly to catch the blue eyes of the young woman. Pausing a moment to take in her long snow-white hair, her feline ears and tail, and her expensive looking dress. Was she a noble of some kind? This place looked like it'd have a royal family, or an upper class of society ruling it, just like the middle ages of his own dimension.
"Oh, hey there! Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you, I was just catching my breath, I must've underestimated the size of this place!" the Nexus hadn't taken nearly as long to navigate.
"Are you sure? You looked really troubled there," came the pale woman's response.
"Positive. Although, I definitely wouldn't object to if you were to lead the way to someplace I could get some food, I think I might be starving," Makoto lightly patted his stomach for emphasis.
"Well, I'm afraid this is also my first time visiting this village in particular. Honestly, I've just been aimlessly wandering for the last while," her pale face contorted slightly at those words, as if remembering an unpleasant experience.
"Hah! That makes two of us, what say you we join up? It shouldn't take long to find an inn or something, my treat!" a warm smile plastered itself over his young features, before they shifted into a look of sudden realization, "I'm Makoto Yuki, by the way. Feel free to call me Makoto, Yuki, or Mako. I don't really mind."
"My name is Shion, and I think I'll take you up on that offer," she replied. She didn't particularly trust this 'Makoto' person, if that's even his real name, but she'd play along for now.
"It's decided, this grand quest begins now!" said the bluenette as he marched on the dirt road, leading the way.
Only for it to end twenty steps later, in front of a worn out building with a sign in the shape of two wooden tankards. Maybe they had something to eat?
