"Will there be many people at this feast?" Aiden asked the old man. "I don't like crowds."

Daisuke smiled lightly,bowing to the man in respect," If you don't want a crowd,there won't be."
Looking back up to the man he smiled lightly," Oh and my name is Daisuke...my granddaughter's," He looked back towards the room,a glint of sadness in his face," Yuri."

"Then I will gladly join in your feast." Aiden wasn't the one to go about breaking traditions, and the feast that follows a near loss of a relative such as what had occured was a tradition in these parts.

Daisuke nodded to the man and nodded," Thank you sir...and if you need a place to stay, we have an extra bedroom you are welcome to stay at."

"Sorry, but I already paid for another night at the hotel. Since they don't give your money back, I guess I'll make the most of what I bought." Aiden replied.

Daisuke nodded to him," I understand, well when she wakes up,we'll get all the arrangements ready for the dinner,and we'll call you."
He looked out the window,seeing some children playing,coughing lightly,but he moved swiftly out to his front door,opening it and standing at the door frame.
"HEY YOU KIDS!!WHAT ARE YOU DOING AROUND HERE! GO HOME!"
After the kinda scurried away,Daisuke turned to look at the man who had saved his granddaughter and smiled.

Daisuke mearly smiled at Aiden's back. Aiden was already walking out the door. He didn't like being around people. Though, that's probably because he always put himself in a position to be alone for so long that it just grew on him. He spent the night in his hotel room, the last night he had already prepayed for.

In the middle of the night,Yuri woke up in a rush,sitting up as she screamed out. At first she didn't even know where she was, and it scared her, causing her to begin to cry in the darkness of her room.
Daisuke had woken up to that screamed,it almost gave him a heart attack, half of the town must have heard her scream. The old man rushed out of his room and into Yuri's room, finding her crying he hugged her comfortingly.
"It's alright Yuri, you're home...."
Yuri cried,though she was calming down as she gradually realized she was safe.
"Oh Gramps.....it....I can't even describe it."

"Girls got some lungs on her." Aiden said as he lay in his bed. The scream came from nearby, and since it seemed to come from across the street he assumed it was that Yuri girl. "I'm gonna have trouble getting back to sleep, so I may as well go for a walk. Maybe the night air will get me drowsy again." Aiden got dressed and went out of the hotel and walked down the street, towards Daisuke's house.

By now,Yuri had calmed down, she didn't feel too well like explaining what had happened at the moment. So after a little convincing, she had convinced Daisuke to go back to sleep.
Daisuke shuffled off but turned to her before he left her room," Oh....a young wandering warrior found you and brought you here...we're having a feast in honor of him tomorrow night."
Yuri nodded, she never really understood her Grandfather's old traditions,but respected them all the same.
So she gave him a small yet convincing smile," Alright Gramps....Good night."
After a few minuets, she sighed, her dream,no her living nightmare wasn't going to let her fall back asleep,so she did the only thing she knew how to when she couldn't sleep. Sneaking out of the house,she found her way up to the roof. She stared up to the new moon, closing her eyes lightly as the breeze of the night played around her. She began to hum a soft hymn as she sat on the roof, it was a song she remembered her mother singing,and it always had cheered her up each time.

"You have quite a powerful set of lungs." Aiden said, approaching a familiar looking girl. "I'm sure that scream woke half the village."

Yuri looked down to the man on the ground,she was blushing lightly, she never really liked it to have people listen to her even hum.
She ran her fingers through her hairm," Um....I....I...you heard me?"

"Who didn't? I was sound asleep on the top floor of the inn down the street. Well, I wouldn't really call it sound, it's too silent for my taste. I'm used to owls and other forest creatures singing their own songs."

She nodded," Yeah...I... can see what you mean..."
She looked down to the man,tilting her head lightly, he semed familier but couldn't figure it out.
"Um...I...I'm sorry...but...who are you?"

"My name is Aiden. I'm a wanderer. You don't seem to recognize me, but then again, you passed out in the forest as soon as you looked at me."
