[There is a redheaded woman walking into the village today - however, she almost looks like a zombie, with the way she's shufflin'!

No, Scully isn't a zombie, but she certainly feels like it. She'll be shuffling over to the tea shop, hoping to relax for a little while with a nice cup of Chamomile and something to eat.

Once her journal is back next to her, she'll record something.]

Remind me not to go back to any ruins anytime soon. I think I'm getting too old for any of that.

A lot of exhausted and beat up, and a lot of hungry. I'll be all right once I eat and get some rest, I think. [--she'll say as she turns to face Ayumu.]

[sundead]

Sounds like you don't need caffeine then.

[He reaches for the hot water and tea leaves, bringing over a cup of chamomile instead.] Here.

[poorqueequeg]

I don't think it'd work well on me at the moment. It would only prolong the inevitable, but only by a little.

[But smell that chamomile. She'll take the cup with a smile.] Thanks. Maybe I won't be doing the zombie shuffle on the way back to my place to sleep, at least not until I'm comfortably in my room away from people.

[sundead]

If you fall asleep here I'll have to kick you out at closing.

[it's part joking, and part just the practical truth.]

[poorqueequeg]

I shouldn't, but I don't snore. As long as I get enough rest to get home I'll be good.

[sundead]

Then enjoy the tea. I've heard it's good for that.

[poorqueequeg]

Thanks. Know anything good to snack on with it?

[sundead]

[uh well...]

I've got some ginger snaps.

[poorqueequeg]

Food is food, and that sounds appetizing right now. I'll get a normal diet back later, I can indulge into something sweet right now. [After all, dieting after field rations probably isn't a good idea.]

[sundead]

Sounds fair enough...

[He rummages around behind the counter before coming up with the cookies and bringing a plate over.]

I'm Ayumu, by the way. [He may be the employee here but since they're talking an introduction is probably warranted.]

[poorqueequeg]

Scully-- Dana Scully. It's nice to meet you, Ayumu. [Maybe it's the being tired, hungry, and ready to nap for the next month, or maybe it's just trying to be a little more light in attitude than she is normally. But--]

I work at the clinic normally. If you ever need anything, let me know. I'll do a check up free of charge. [There's a grin at that- mainly because uh, money? What's money here? Hopefully her voice was enough to say that she was joking?]

[sundead]

Sure, I'll remember. [even if... he'll never need to go there. He heals faster than it would take to walk over.] And you can get tea free of charge, too.
