Willow looked up briefly from her picture, finally noticing Suwako as she leaned back in a chair. She set her pen down gingerly and clasped her hands together, leaning forward to show her attention. "I hope you're feeling all better today, suwako." She said, "Or at least a little. Is your arm still bruised?"

Suwako lowered her collar a little to show that indeed the bruise was still there still deep and black "Yeah it's there but it only hurts if i move my arm up too far and i can't lift anything heavy with it. As for how I'm feeling I'm getting better but I don't want to push myself too much I still kinda get light headed if i stand for long periods of time" Suwako explianed "How are you holding up?" She asked in concern

Willow frowned in responce to the demi-god's question. She hadn't really thought about it much, but she supposed she was okay. There was only that slight hazy patch in her memory, but hopefully she would get over it. "I'm fine." She replied, "Why do you ask?"

Rachel entered the lobby noticing three new faces. " Good morning" she said cheerfully while strolling to the front desk to talk to Willow. " Got any work for me to do today?" Rachel asked, secretly hoping that there wasn't so she could spend the day goofing off in the garden.

Willow was surprised by the sudden appearance of Rachel, who didn't seem very tired, despite the previous days happenings. Briefly, she turned her head away from Suwako, whom she had been talking to.
"Actually," she stated slowly, "You could start a fire there," she continued, pointing to the firplace. "It's kinda cold this morning."

Suwako politely remained quiet as Willow and Rachel talked she waited for them to finish before she answered Willow's question "Just concerned is all, i guess sometimes you seem kinda distant I was worried something maybe causing you stress" Suwako stated explaining her concern for Willow

Rachel nodded, turned and walked to the fireplace. She nelt to start a fire but noticed there was no wood left. She turned to look in Willow's direction. " Where is the extra fire wood kept?" Rachel inquired.

"Sorry for being distant," Willow said quietly in Suwako's direction. There were a lot of things to take care of in the inn, so it was only natural that she be distant, but Suwako was right in a way. It was slightly hard to focus wholely on things lately...
Turning to Rachel once again, with one hand running through her hair in frustration. "Ehh, out of wood? That's not good..." Willow continued quietly, mumbling a few incoherent things under her breath before standing up to inspect the fireplace on her own, just to be sure. Breathing a loud sigh, she shook her head in defeat. "I guess there's nothing we can do. If we're really out of wood, then one of us will have to go out to the forest and cut some."

At that moment, Finn returned from the kitchen holding two glasses of water, and set one of them down at the desk where Willow had previously been sitting. He had happened to catch a snippet of their conversation and wandered up to the small group, sipping lazily from his cup of water.
"You mean you don't have a pile of wood out back or something?" he asked.

"I could grow a tree for you to chop down with my power, it wouldn't take too much effort either" Suwako offered she didn't like the idea of heading back to the forest or worse closer to Rumia

Willow turned her head slowly to face Finn, slightly irked by his comment. "Of course I had a wood pile, Finn." she stated coldly, gritting her teeth, "But since so many customers have been coming, I haven't been able to maintain things as well as I used to."
She turned again to Suwako, and did her best to calm down, though it was still obvious that she wasn't in the best of moods. "Sorry Suwako," she said, "But I think it's best if you just rest yourself for a while. Don't do anything that you can't handle just yet. If we have to go without a fire, then we'll manage somehow." Willow's words were soft-spoken, but there was a firmness behind them that made it clear that her descision was final.

Finn spoke up as soon as she had quieted, though he wasn't addressing anyone in particular. "It shouldn't be too hard to head out to the forest and collect some wood." he mused. "It may still be dangerious, even though it's daytime, but I imagine that since we can see clearer, then we'd be more alert to danger and able to escape from it if needed. Besides, we wouldn't need to go too deep into the forest in order to cut down a frikkin' tree. They're right there." As if to make a point, finn pointed out the window of the lobby where the forest loomed ominously.
"And if you're still not sure about the idea," Finn continued, turning to address Willow, "Then you can send out a group of two or three, just in case something goes wrong--which it most likely won't."

"Fine," Willow said, finally giving in. "If you want to go get firewood that badly then be my guest. I won't stop you, but I'm gonna stay here." With that, she crossed her arms across her chest and jutted her bottom lip out in a slight pout. "But," she continued suddenly, "If anyone does end up going out there, be sure to bring a buddy with you--just like Finn suggested." She spat the last word out with distaste; Willow didn't like accepting others' ideas.

"You're right Willow, this power isn't exactly unlimited like before" Suwako admitted and gave in to Willow's stern suggestion knowing that she was right,
She then looked to Finn, "So if we go out? who is all going? I"ll volunteer since me and cold well don't get along so i do need the heat" Suwako offered

"It's no question that I'll be going. I'll take any excuse I can find to get out a bit," Finn said off-handedly. He looked to suwako who had just volunteered, shrugging his shoulders. "If you want to go too, then I guess nobody can stop you; but just don't go and slow anybody down."
