It was nice to mend the bridges that I did yesterday, but I really only meant to speak with Silica for a short while. Philia and I had planned to get further into the second area of the Hollow Area after all...
And not only did I stay longer with Silica than I expected to, but I ended up going back to the Inn to meet the others, and then I slept for just shy of 7 hours beside Sinon - I really massacred the time that Philia and I had planned for didn't I?
Although, she didn't seem too peeved about it, and she admitted that she had spent most of the time napping, so we were both adequately rested... And so we decided to head out for some night-time exploration, something we haven't tried to do until now, it wasn't much different to be honest. There were no new mobs, no resources that only appear at night, and no quest givers... But we did at least manage to make some good progress, we should be able to clear the Field's Final Boss soon... I wonder how many more areas there are?
Regardless, we didn't really get back to the Administration Area to sleep until the sun was starting to rise once more, but I had already agreed to meet with Leafa today to help her out with that quest of hers. So I set an internal alarm to go off for noon, I already told Philia that I would be gone again today, but I didn't want to wake her up before she needed to, so I tried my best to leave silently, but...
???: "mmmm... going somewhere?"

Y/N: "o-Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you!"
Philia: "Don't worry, you didn't! I've -yawn- I've been awake for a while now, I just had my eyes closed... and then I heard you stir and-... w-well, never mind that!"
Y/N: "Hmm? Okay then... Well, I guess now that you're awake, I can ask you in-person: would you rather I left you with some breakfast or lunch? Considering the time we woke up, I wasn't sure which you'd prefer."
Philia: "... You know, you don't HAVE to cook these meals for me, I mean I definitely appreciate it, don't get me wrong! But I hate feeling like I'm putting you out to tend to me all the time..."
Y/N: "You're not! Not at all! Don't worry about that, okay? Honestly... I kinda missed it, sharing a place with someone like this- even if the place we share is just some weird room like this!"
Philia: "... You're talking about Lisbeth, right? Because you two used to share your Inn Room, right?"
Y/N: "..."
Philia: "So you used to cook her meals too then, just like you do for me now? And you shared a bedroom right? Kinda like we do now, except our two futons are so close they might as well be one! hee-hee!"
Y/N: "... w-we did, yes. I don't know... I guess I just-... n- never mind!"
Philia: "Hmm? You knooooooow, I don't mind talking about the sappy stuff if you ever want to? I know I'm kinda... rugged, I guess? I'm not really all that girly, like some of the other girl friends we know, but I'm uhmm-... you know... always willing to talk? Even if you want me to just shut up and listen whilst you vent or something!"
