[He is hard to read, but this isn't like when she first arrived in Kyoto - she isn't anticipating him getting angry, just him saying that he wants to have his own space. But he doesn't do that, and when he asks why he would mind her face lights up with a bright smile.

That smile becomes even brighter as he continues - If you wanna say with me, then you're gonna stay with me. There aren't many things in life that are that simple, but when Shinpachi says it's as simple as that, that's another thing she can believe. This man has a way of making the things he says into reality, anyway, and that's something she really admires about him.

She has to shift what she's carrying into the crook of her arm to bring a hand up to muffle her giggle when he corrects himself, though.]

Then... when we get there, I'll tell him. [Not to stick it up his ass, of course - her cheeks flush little when she realizes it could be taken that way, and she fumbles for a moment to try to find the right words to add to rid the statement of any ambiguity.] ...that I'm going to be with you.

[Even while blushing, she's still smiling; the fact that he's so willing to let her stay by his side warms her heart, and that's visible in - well, everything. The way her steps are less subdued, the way she's straightened up instead of hunched over like she's trying to make herself as small and unobtrusive as possible, and the way that there's still a smile on her face even when she lapses into silence while they continue their trek to the inn.

It isn't too long before they arrive, and soon enough each of them is being shown to their rooms so they can unpack. Chizuru dutifully follows after Shinpachi and, once the door is rolled away to reveal the room, she sets his bag down in one corner along with her own things and holds out her arms to Shinpachi for one of the boxes he's been carrying this whole way.]

Here, let me help. We'll get it done very quickly if we work together.
