Kim and Paul have very little trouble finding their rooms; they're side by side, as they were in the palace at Fionavar, and their magically provided keys slide easily into the locks.

The rooms themselves are comfortably bland - more like a Hilton than the palace, here - and it doesn't take Paul long to take stock, assess his surroundings for possible items of import, and then go over to knock on Kim's door.

There's no balcony here, and no Jen, and she's still not entirely certain about all this -- but that doesn't stop her.

Kim is smiling mischievously when she opens the door.

"Romeo?"

"It's hard to languish without a balcony anyway," she says, and pulls the door all the way open.

"Come on in."

"All the comforts of home," Kim says dryly, watching him.

Her smile fades.

"Right."

"And if she's not?" Kim retorts. "We can't stay here, Paul!"

"I didn't do it the first time," she says, holding out her hand so they can both clearly see the deep red stone, without even a flicker of fire now.

"Not in Fionavar and not now. I don't know what unleashed it, but I can't just wave my hand and make it work."

"I guess so, but it would be nice to know what's going on."

Kim offers him a rueful smile.

"Then again, I could probably say that about any number of things that have happened to us since May, couldn't I?"

"We will."

She sits down on the end of the bed, clenching her hand into a fist on her knee. The Baelrath gleams darkly on her finger.

"Somehow."

"Depending on how long we're here, we're going to need a lot of things," she says wryly. "I hope that bar takes credit-- I don't have much cash."

"It'd be an insane way to run a business," she says cheerfully.

The fact that there are far crazier things here goes unspoken.

"You're probably right. I'm sure you're right about Diarmuid."

Kim gives him a mischievous half-smile.

"You'll have to make sure it's suitably adventurous when you tell him about it."

Kim laughs.

"Of course not. We should have brought Kevin."

"Thanks," she says-- dryly. Very dryly.

"You too."
