She straightens up and nods, "Makes sense... Going to the market in the morning then?" Even as she asks she goes to curl up on the bed again. "Thanks for the bed by the way." Closing her eyes she goes through her mental calming in order to sleep.

He stares at her for a moment before he blinks repeatedly.
"I don't mind giving you the bed, but you are going to sleep now? It was more of a warning than a order or anything of that nature. Hmm...and yes, we are going to the market in the morning, when you are ready."

Riley laughs as she curls in more, "Not really. I'm relaxing and thinking a bit..." Sort of... The thought of her family worried just passed through her mind. She hopes they're okay.

He looks to her before leaning back again, relaxed and once more closing his eyes. "Thinking a bit huh...fair enough I suppose."
As he lays there, he stares to the moon outside. The mouse on his shoulder is already quite relaxed, as he himself begins to just drift into thought. He remains quiet, not knowing what more he can or should say. An awkward silence begins to grow as the two lay there. The mouse squeaks at him as he sits there, breaking the silence. The boy sighs and continues to stare out the window, ignoring the mouse.

"Max right?" Riley holds out a hand, partially lowering it to the ground. "You wanna talk? Maybe I can figure out what you're saying, hmm?" Her voice is gentle and soft as she await's the mouse's response, she isn't one to ignore someone if they talk to her... At least not while she is awake... The only reason she didn't want to go exploring at night is because everyone knows thing get worse in the dark for horror anything. So... She'll relax, wait, maybe nap a little. And, until then, she'll hang out with the mouse if he'll let her.
She does sigh though. Her thoughts still pretty glued to what ifs and worst case scenarios.

The mouse looks up to her and starts squeaking again. She hears a voice in her head as it squeaks. "Trust me young lady, there ain't much ta figure out if I'm talking to ya. I'm just tying to break the silence ya know? The jungle is quiet enough without you both acting like Hellen Keller. Plus, do me a favor, relax. It's tough enough to survive if you keep a positive attitude. If ya look gloomy like that, some of the sickos in this place are gonna eat you alive, but that's jus' my opinion."
He sits in front of the woman and looks at Marron again.
"Star, cmon, stop being so shy! Where is your manners? Ya gotta be polite to the young lady. Has livin with me for so long made ya forget how to hold a conversation? Sorry, Marron isn't used to dealing with people. He really needs to up his people skills though, especially if he's working in a team."
The boy simply sighs again as he just stares at the mouse.
"Now don't ya look at me like dat! Be a good boy and give it your best go!"
Marron just looked to Riley and uttered under his breath a 'hi' before looking down at his feet. The mouse squeaks happily as he looks to the girl again.
"Good boy...see, he can do it if he tries. Sigh, at least he was polite enough to close his eyes rather than stare at you."

Riley listened to the mouse intently, she was about to say it was okay if the male didn't want to talk with her when she was looked at. Vaguely she saw the movement of a word being formed, it was small and probably something like "hi". She smiled at him before he looked down and then turns her attention to the mouse once more. She flushes lightly, "I... Uh... I'm sorry. I really don't know how I ended up in this... it seems... Something must of happened or something in avatar creation or something..." She bites her lip a little, chews on it, and then gives a defeated sigh. "And... Its okay, it doesn't bother me or anything. I know the intention isn't one of a pervert... Just. Don't stare. I'm sure even my sis would agree." Not doubtful, but then again with the circumstances her sister may end up decking someone long before being okay with having them be able to appreciate her body with their eyes. Either way. It really wouldn't bother her as long as Marron didn't stare for an extended period of time.

Marron looks at her for a moment and nods his head. "Don't apologize. I don't believe players get to choose their appearances. It's not really your fault. Sigh....I won't stare at you, don't worry, it was more of the fact that you were exercising, sleeping, taking a bath, and dying today. Staring at you would have been rude, especially during any of these points in time. If it bothers you, try getting your equipment upgraded. In that event it should help you out with the coverage, as well as help you with defense and your ability to survive. ...Ah, as for earlier, I didn't get your permission to pick you up. Sorry."

"Its okay, the picking me up, and it doesn't bother me," She shrugs. "I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable... That's why I apologized."

He looks to her direction, a little confused. "I see...alright then. I suppose I'm just used to dealing with touchy people. Also, I won't feel uncomfortable, especially not for something you can't control. In the long run, just decide what you want to do. If worst comes to worst, use a mantle. It will probably help with coverage, and doing combat, you can simply take it off."

"Oh... Its really not a bother, especially in someplace as hot as this," She nods a little to herself. "But... I might get one... If I can. I mean... I don't want to be rude or uncaring..." She pauses before nodding again.
"Alright... I'll get one just in case... if I can..."
Another pause before she flushes, realizing she isn't exactly sure what's she's agreeing to.
"One thing though... What is a mantle?"

He blinks at her for a few moments before looking to the mouse and nodding. "What do you mean by rude or uncaring? How would you be either?"
He takes a deep breath and mutters a small, "One thing at a time." under his breath. He looks over to her again as he stands up. He lifts up the thing behind him that he had worn for travel purposes.
"You see this here? The cape like thing? This is a mantle. It's kind of live a cape that goes around your shoulders and covers almost your entire body. It can have a hood, which proves useful for when it rains. Hmm...when I wear it looks like...think of little red riding hood. Make sense now?"

"Oh!" Riley's eyes light up. "Like a long poncho! Or like the witch's cape mom has for all hallows eve!" She sits up, excited a moment before it dies once she realizes what she said. A small frown comes a crossed her face a moment before she fades into a much more relaxed state, moving she sits up with her knees to her chest and arms around her knees.
Riley give a gentle smile, "And yes. It would be rude to walk around in something like this. This is a world wide server, right? Which means people from all ethnic back grounds will be playing. Some may even be offended by the idea of me showing so much skin, let alone the actual appearance of myself." She laughs softly. "And uncaring for all the males who don't want to see someone as unwomanly as me dressed in such a manner, or to feminists whom would get the wrong idea, and even you... Its unfair, uncaring for you to have to keep adverting your gaze whenever you look at me... Uh, sorry... I didn't mean to ramble on either..." She sighs and lays her face against her knees, obscuring her frown and partially closing her eyes to hide any emotions they could betray.

He turns his head and looks out the window for moment before he turns his head to the mouse who is glaring at him. He sighs and walks over to her, throwing the mantle over her head.
"Take it, it's yours. It's a little worn, but it works well. You're lucky, your mom seems like an interesting person to say the least. Hmm...umm..."
He looks over to the mouse who is still glaring at him before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.
"You aren't unwomanly. You have fine...assets. You're fine as you are, and...very pretty, at least in my opinion. Forget what other people think. If they are from other ethnicity's, then they realize that some things are different from their culture, and they themselves need to be accepting of that. Besides, from their knowledge, we can't pick our avatars either way. As for feminists, I honestly don't know much about them, but if they are vouching for equal freedom, then they would be offended more at the fact that the game forced you to wear that. Not you wearing it because you wanted to, I think they'd be supportive of that. As for me, I don't mind it, it's me tying to be polite, so it isn't your fault. Finally, for the rambling. It's alright...I'm not upset about it. I don't mind listening, it's easier than talking. So...umm...feel better?"
He awkwardly begins to pat her on the back as the mouse finally stops glaring. He gives a sigh of relief as he sits down. "Right then..."

Riley smiles as her face is hidden, eyes lighting up a little, "Yes... yes, thank you..." She pauses a moment before sighing. "You really didn't need to try to comfort me. I would of been fine... I'm just... a little worried about my family is all... My sister isn't the nicest, the brother isn't the openest, and my little sister isn't the calmest... I just hope they're all fine..." She sighs again before shrugging.
"But... Thank you... Really... The gesture was nice."

He gives a small blush as he rubs his head, a little embarrassed. "No...it's...It's just that I don't know HOW to comfort a person. I didn't mean to sound like I was forcing myself or anything. I'm just not used to this..."
He listens to her as she talks about her family and relaxes. "Hmm...your family sounds...nice. It seems fun."

"Uh, oh... Um..." Riley shakes her head. "No, no... I meant it was sweet or nice or kind of you. Nothing... bad..."
She then pulls her knees closer to her chest, making her chest hurt a little when she does, "And... Thank you... They are nice, well, to me at least..."

Marron sighs again as things become awkward. He looks at her and nods.
"Doesn't that hurt? Hmm...well, I suppose that this has become awkward. Quite frankly, I don't know what to say. If it'll makes things easier, ask me whatever you want to know, it doesn't matter what."

Riley shakes her head no to his question sighing a little. When he comments she can ask anything she nods, "Just... What the heck happened? All I did was turn on a game. Then I woke up here, well, not here here. But this... I don't know. Miniverse or something... Better yet. What logic does this place run on? I know I either fight or flight, I've always been like that thanks to my family's background." She slows down her words at the end and pauses a moment, thinking things thoroughly through before speaking again. "Where are we, as in the place, not the jungle? How did I get here, not the part where you carried me or I was stumbling about, but how did I wake up here? Why did I wake up here? What's supposed to happen now? What do we do? Or, at least, what do I do? And... I'm sorry if you answered any of this already... I just... I'm grasping at straws here..."
