The sun was already high when Poppy woke up, the memory of her bold kiss the first clear thought of the day. She buried her face in the pillows, pressed her eyes together and allowed her breath to carry her voice into the mattress. 

Why had she done that? What if he didn’t like her like that? What if he thought she was an immoral broad? 

But this wasn’t Moonbright and no one would ever know how she had danced under the stars, so no one could turn up their nose at her scandalous behavior. 

After having washed up and getting dressed properly Poppy left the room and roamed the hallway until she found the stairs. 

The dining hall was still busy, but in a less festive way. People were coming and going, paying for their food and rooms, demanding breakfast and planning the next part of their journey. 

Poppy sneaked towards the counter where she recognized the innkeeper. 

“Good morning, Gyu.” 

“Ah, Poppy. I hope you slept well. What can I get you for breakfast?” 

She looked around, searching for Tora and shrugged when she couldn’t see him. 

“I don’t know. What are you offering?” 

“Bread and eggs, bacon, porridge, stew, gruel, apples-” The list went on and with each new item, Poppy’s eyes widened further. 

“I’ll just bring you a plate with a bit of everything,” Gyu decided with a smile. Poppy nodded and retreated to the smaller room, figuring it was where Tora would come and look for her. 

“Gyu, have you seen Tora this morning? Is he still asleep?”

He wouldn’t have left her there to fend for her own, would he?  

“Asleep? Big brother Tora? Nah.” Gyu shook his head and set down a plate and a bowl. “He went out before dawn but should be back soon. Told me to tell you not to worry, you will be back home before supper.” 

This was good enough for her, if there wasn’t an emergency she had no reason to be at home after all.
