[ It is something else entirely, an elation and joy that Sumina has never quite felt in her life, that she never thought could be hers, and it is so profoundly precious that she could very well weep when he calls it his own house. The way her eyes shine like glass and her lips quiver only attest to this fact, but she reels herself back soon enough - there's work to be done, after all - for the sake of Satoru's introduction to her beloved inn.

With him here... it can truly feel like home, more than it ever had before, and a place that she can make more her own.

Drawing in a deep breath and then exhaling, she nods, before tugging him across the foyer and towards a large dining area, where a cozy bar sits at the far end of the room. The place is all warm tones and gentle but elegant curves in wood, the ambiance being that of a place that has certainly been around for ages, but still feels homey and cozy. There are a few patrons partaking in a light meal scattered about the room, none of whom seem to realize who Sumina is, which is just as well. ]

This, of course, is the tavern. It's quiet right now, but just wait until evening comes... I can see you becoming the life of the party right here many nights, too, ahaha.

[ It's his turn, now, to witness all of the ways she's already imagined their life together here. Embarrassing. ]

The kitchen is just behind the bar, there. Ah! Would you like something to drink, honey? We can get some tea going, or get you a glass of juice?
