Father North nodded and patted Andrea on the shoulder as well, "good." He said with a small smile.

Father North could also feel the fatigue settling in on his human body, it was something he had gotten used to in his three years on the planet. Vulonians had their own rest cycles without their human bodies, but they were far less frequent and far more brief. Filter feeding and floating around didn't take up too much energy.

Father North began to follow her, trailing a little bit behind, "Well, I'm feeling it a bit too, would you mind sharing lodgings with me?" He asked as they moved through the crowd together.
 
She paused at the pat on her shoulder, before letting out a quiet chuckle, and smiling back at him..

"Yeah. Yeah it is."

As the crowd let the two through, and she listened to his request, thinking for a moment and scratching her chin, before she nodded slowly and smiling back up at Father North.

"Sure, sure. I think I have a guest room that's got a bed that might fit ya."

She motioned up towards the large home up the small hill, it's architecture elegant, proud, and seemingly extremely old, but well loved. Above the front door, there was a family crest, wearing the letters 'S.C.' proudly..

"And that, is my home. heh, really is my family's home so."

She said with a small chuckle.
 
Father North lounged as he floated behind Andrea, the bed sounded good right about now. He took the hill with her, making sure to keep slow so that she could keep up with him, "I'm happy to hear you have such accomodations." He said, continuing to smile.

She said it was her family's home and Father North hesitated outside the door, would he be welcome? He looked back at the crowd that he had just spoken to and figured that it was probably a good bet.

He went in the door just behind Andrea and looked around, "Should we be quiet for your family? It is really early in the morning."
 
She smiled back, letting out yet another tired yawn, with a long stretch as she stepped up to the door, fumbling in her pockets for her keys, and, once she found them, she creaked open the door..

"Oh, uh, yeah that's, not exactly a problem. My folks retired a while back and went to live somewhere else so they wouldn't have to deal with the disturbances of the job. Cause trust me, there are A LOT.."

She said with a timid laugh, stepping inside, and kicking off the snow from her boots. After, she showed Father North to the very luxurious guest bedroom. It had a connecting bathroom, was FULLY furnished, and that bed looked very, VERY fluffy.

"Right, these are your accommodations. Hopefully they're comfy enough for ya."
 
Father North worked alone so he had no concept of getting interrupted, "I see... Will we be... Disturbed a lot?" He asked, hesitating at the door for a moment before following her in.

He followed her to the guest bedroom and looked over where he would be staying, she asked if it was to his liking and he thought for a few moments, "I grew up swimming through a hot gas cloud, on Huyus I have been... How do you humans put it? Homeless." He floated over the bed and sank into it, falling deeper into it than one would have guessed for his size, "It will suffice." He said, floating back out of the bed.

"May I modify it? I want to make it firmer so that it will support my body better when I sleep." He preferred sleeping on a log if he was honest.
 
Andrea couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at his questions and remarks. As she leaned in the doorway, she nodded slowly.
"Yeah of course you can modify it. It's your room after all. And no I don't say you will. We do have small privacy markers you can put up if you want to be fully alone. Otherwise, we can probably figure out a way to signify you wanting to be alone. Though, heh, maybe in the future you should get your own place to live, y'know, just cause."

Andrea said with a small laugh, before letting out a quiet breath, and mopping her hair with a quiet, exhausted yawn.

"And speaking of, supporting your body when you sleep, I, best do the same.. I've been out all night, and for someone like me that type of physical exertion isn't the uh, exact best thing for my system."
 
The moment she said that he could modify the bed there was a loud crunching sound as he compressed the bed into a more solid shape. It was rectangular, blocky, and he managed to compress the covers as a part of the bed. He nodded to himself, "I'll get to work on my own place here as soon as possible." He said, smiling.

Father North could sense Andreas fatigue, he felt the lactic acid in her muscles, waste had built up in her brain and she needed rest for the neurons to clean them out, "that sounds like a good idea, we could both use some rest." Once she left he would like down and sleep for a few brief hours.

****
Father North awoke and sprang out of bed, he looked around cautiously, no beasts disturbed his rest, there were no angels or great warriors to fight. He was safe.

He walked out of his room and went in search of food.
 
The entire mansion was dead silent, save for the sound of the snow falling, and the crackle from a well sealed fireplace, all was quiet, and all was calm.. Seems she really MEANT what she said, as she was still fast asleep, long past the morning hours.. It was getting close to 2 in the afternoon, and there wasn't a sign of the brunette..
Well, except for the many pictures along the hallway of her and her family.. That hallway led down to the kitchen, which, much like the rest of the house, was decorated incredibly fancily. From what could be seen, the cabinets and storing spots for food were nicely topped up. The only thing a mess?
The sink. So, S O many dirty dishes, mostly silverware.. Shocking how this woman lives in THIS mess.
this is totally not a jab at my own life naaaaaah /lh
 
Father North went through Andrea's cupboards, settling on some granola that he ate plain.

After some time, when it was clear that Andrea wouldn't be getting up for a while, he began to make toys. He communed with Vulonus about which children wanted which toys, as surely by now some of them would have had prayers for toys to accompany what they had just gotten.

Vulonus informed Father North of several children who wanted toy dolls to accompany other dolls they had gotten, including several who wanted companions for their toy soldiers. Father North began to work on one of these at first, creating a wooden, joint actuated doll. He made several more by the time that Andrea had woken up, pulling carbon and other materials from the air to make them.
 
And with perfect timing, there was a loud crack from the stairwell, followed by a sharp;

"o w ."
Descending to the main floor of the residence, the brunette was FINALLY awake, and god, she looked like she was a different PERSON with what she was wearing.. She didn't have anything on besides a black t shirt, black slacks, and black socks. Of course, she had her usual black choker on, as well as her glasses.

BUT THAT WAS KINDA IT..


As she processed Father North's presence and presents sitting in the lounge, she nodded slowly to him with a loud yawn..

"hey.."

Her voice was VERY much sleepy, her eyes holding two large bags under each.
