       There was no helping it, was there? The more he wandered, the less familiar his surroundings became. Haruki was certain he was only moving in circles, and his patience had long since been exhausted. Despite his unwillingness, he approached the first stranger in sight with a pensive appearance. "Sorry, can you tell me where I am?"

The day was coming to a close, and as per usual, Haruki was hard at work under the watchful eye of his father. Running a hot springs inn certainly made for good business during this time of year, and as a result, his help was more necessary than he'd prefer it to be. It wasn't all bad, he supposed, as the area was relaxing on its own, and there were little things he enjoyed more than lounging about in the hot springs when his father wasn't looking.

With the coming arrival of a new guest, Haruki hurried to the door, long brown hair flowing behind him as he approached the stranger with a smile and bow.

"Welcome. Koizume-san, I presume?" He lifted his gaze, getting a better look at the new arrival. She was incredibly cute, with quite the baby face and hair that framed it unusually well. Perhaps he could ask her for some beauty tips once they'd chatted a bit more, but for now, Haruki retained his formal demeanor, speaking as he'd been trained to for a good portion of his life. "Please allow me to show you to your room."
